NOT-OD-25-128 states that if a grant or cooperative agreement has been terminated due to misalignment with NIH’s mission or priorities and the recipient has submitted a timely appeal, NIH will not proceed with unilateral closeout actions while the appeal is under review.
Recipients in this situation will not be held responsible for delays in completing standard closeout requirements (Final FFR, RPPR, and Invention Statement) within the usual 120-day period and should disregard any conflicting deadlines in termination letters or revised Notices of Award. NOT-OD-25-128 should be used as documentation to prevent audit findings related to delayed closeout due to pending appeals.
