Hi. The fee should be drawn as you spend directs/indirects. From the NIH Grants Policy Statement (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/html5/section_18/18.5.4_allowable_costs_and_fee.htm): “The profit or fee should be drawn from PMS in increments proportional to the drawdown of funds for direct and F&A costs.”

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

No, all funds must be used in the US except in rare or unique circumstances.

You can get reimbursed for costs up to 90 days prior to award if the costs are necessary to conduct the project and would be allowable under the grant, if awarded, without NIH prior approval.

Those are the RLS that the tech should achieve during the project.

Hello!

The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, which ranges from 1-9, is used to gauge technology status.

Typically, TRLs 1-3 are appropriate for Phase I, while TRLs 4-6 are appropriate for Phase II.

Yes. Talk to your Program Officer and/or Grants Administrator. They will need to approve the change.
