How the Change of Fiscal Year Affects Your NIGMS Grant

Budget Update for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013

The Fiscal Year 2012 appropriation provides NIH with $30.86 billion and NIGMS with $2.43 billion.

During this period, NIH will make noncompeting research grant awards at reduced levels, typically up to 90% of the previously committed level.
