NOT-OD-23-050 announces that the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including NIH, operated under the Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 117-229) signed by President Biden on December 16, 2022.

The Act (CR) continued government operations through December 23, 2022 at Fiscal Year 2022 levels with no reductions, continuing procedures identified under NOT-OD-22-105. NIH institutes and/or Centers may issue non-competing research grant awards at a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award. Upward adjustments to award levels will be considered after FY 2023 appropriations are enacted. NIH expects institutions to monitor expenditures carefully during this period.

All legislative mandates in effect FY 2022 (NOT-OD-22-117) remain in effect under this CR, as well as the salary limitation at Executive Level II (NOT-OD-22-076) and the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award pre-postdoctoral stipend levels and tuition/fees (NOT-OD-22-132).
