Current Issues affecting Modular Proposal Budget Calculations
On EGMS modular proposals where there is a one time cost that spikes into an additional module, an error in the rounding calculations has been identified. Programmers are working on correcting this issue.

2590 Forms
After 10/1/2009, NIH will not accept the 11/2007 form set for 2590s (NOT-OD-09-139). EGMS currently generates this set. The EGMS 2590 form set will be updated and available for use in December, 2009. The EGMS 2590 form set can be used during this period to create the required SPA budget. The new NIH 2590 form set can be found here. Additional information can be found at the SPA webpage.

Fringe Rate Update
EGMS will be adjusting the tuition and fringe rates on April 19th to reflect the recently updated rates. If you unfreeze a proposal after 4/19/09 your proposal will be modified to reflect the different rates. The new rates can be found at: Fringe Rates 2009/2010

IMPORTANT 398 Forms
EGMS Proposal Prep 398 forms can not be used for submission to NIH. See Revised PHS 398 Now Available for additional information.

New NIH Cap
A new NIH cap of $196,700 has been announced. It will be available in the system as of Sunday, January 25 2009. See link to NIH for more information: New NIH Cap
