Inside the Question Bank
Domain 1 · Collection & DisseminationCommunication
A research administrator at an academic medical center is preparing a budget and finds that guidance in the copy of the NIH Grants Policy Statement she downloaded differs from a more recent NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts notice. She confirms that the notice is already in effect and applies to this award. A colleague says the Grants Policy Statement should control because it is the consolidated policy document. How should the research administrator resolve this?
