NIH FY 2023 Sponsor Updates – Salary Cap Increases to $212,100 and Revised NIH Grants Policy Statement Issued

NIH & AHRQ Updated Guidance on Salary Limitation for FY 2023 to $212,100

NIH and AHRQ have issued updated guidance regarding the salary limitation for FY 2023 reflecting an increase in accordance with the Executive Level II salary level from $203,700 to $212,100 effective January 1, 2023.   See NIH Guidance NOT-OD-23-056 and AHRQ Guidance NOT-HS-23-005 for detailed information.

The new salary cap may be used for budgeting purposes effective immediately.  For issued awards that were restricted to Executive Level II (see historical record of salary cap link), including competing awards already issued in FY 2023, if adequate funds are available in active awards, and if the salary cap increase is consistent with the institutional base salary, recipients may rebudget to accommodate the current Executive Level II salary level.  No additional funds will be awarded.

Sponsored Programs has updated the Federal budget template  and the faculty cap worksheets to incorporate the new salary cap.
