NIH Salary Cap 2020

Effective January 5, 2020, the Executive Level II salary (previously set at $192,300) was increased to $197,300. For awards issued in years that were restricted to Executive Level II including competing awards issued in FY2020, if adequate funds are available on active awards, grantees may rebudget to accommodate the most current Executive Level II salary level. However, sponsors will not provide additional funding to cover the increase in the salary cap threshold for existing awards.
