Sara Seifert says: I found the following in the grants management policy statement and am wondering if anyone else is charging closeout costs incurred after the grant period ends but prior to the final report due date?
MHS, KBT, BSM, and AUD have not.
Greg thinks based on his experience at Honeywell that we could be allowed to do this and that it would apply for any normally completed grant or any grant that was not extended.
💡 Administrative costs specifically associated with closeout activities of an award are allowable (for example, salaries of personnel preparing final reports, publication and printing costs, costs associated with the disposition of equipment and property, and related indirect costs), without NIH prior approval, and may be incurred until the due date of the final report(s). Incurred costs must be liquidated before the due date of the final report(s) and charged to the final budget period of the award unless otherwise specified by NIH.
