This project establishes a new
electronic system that will allow grantees to submit certain
requests through an on-line form. The grantee will initiate a
request for a certain action as required by NIH policy: use of
unobligated balances/carryover, change of PI, change of effort,
Training Grant (NRSA) waivers, significant re-budgeting, additional
no cost extensions, and change of scope. The template provided by
ePASS along with links to the relevant NIH policies will ensure
that all specific points are addressed and documented in the
official grant file.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
