Since 1990, the NIH, through annual funding from Congress, and more recently continuing resolutions, sets salary limitations for individuals having NIH grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts. This annual salary limitation is benchmarked at the Executive Level II of the Federal Executive pay scale. The NIH Notice Number NOT-OD-18-137 released March 7, 2018, increases this limit to $189,600, or $91.15/hour.

ReliAscent would like to announce that our very own Dave Donley, one of our top AE’s and Outsourced CFO’s for government contractors, is attending this year’s annual 2015 NIH SBIR/STTR Conference in Seattle, WA, from October 27-29. Dave will be in Seattle during the entire week of the conference, and would like to meet with grantees and potential NIH grantees.
