NIH salary cap increases to $192,300
On April 17, 2019, NIH issued Guidance on Salary Limitation for Grants and Cooperative Agreements FY 2019 (NOT-OD-19-099). The Executive Level II salary has increased from $189,600 to $192,300 effective January 6, 2019.
The new salary cap may be used for budgeting purposes effective immediately. If adequate funds are available in active awards that were issued in those years restricted to Executive Level II, and if the salary cap increase is consistent with the institutional base salary, grantees may rebudget to accommodate the current Executive Level II salary level. However, no additional funds will be provided to these grant awards.
