“NIH is hereby providing notice that funding for the projects in the attached spreadsheet will be terminated pursuant to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grants Policy Statement (GPS),1 and 2 CFR § 200.340(a)(4) As reflected in the Notices of Award for the most recent budget period of these projects, the NIH Grants Policy Statement is incorporated as a term and condition of award The GPS ‘includes the terms and conditions of NIH grants and cooperative agreements and is incorporated by reference in all NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards’ According to the GPS, ‘NIH may … terminate the grant in whole or in part as outlined in 2 CFR Part 200.340’ At the time the Notices of Award were issued for the most recent budget period, 2 CFR § 200.340(a)(4) permitted termination ‘[b]y the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity, to the greatest extent authorized by law, if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities’ These awards no longer effectuate agency priorities NIH is obligated to carefully steward grant awards to ensure taxpayer dollars are used in ways that benefit the American people and improve their quality of life.”

And so it begins.
