NIH Salary Cap Calculator
NIH Salary Cap Calculator
In order to strengthen compliance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Salary Cap, the Research Office has developed a tool to clarify and simplify the salary cap calculation. This tool is intended for use by both department administrators and the Research Office Post Award team to monitor cap compliance during the life of the project and close out at the end of the project. Final determination of salary JVs to move direct salary to cost share in the case of cap overage will be made by the Research Office using the calculator in coordination with the department.

Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement
Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement
In 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published the Uniform Biological Material Transfer Agreement (UBMTA) and an Implementing Letter for the transfer of materials between nonprofit institutions. The University of Delaware is one of the institutions which has signed the UBMTA which allows signatory institutions to transfer materials to one another using a boilerplate Implementing Letter for the particular transfer.
Use of the UBMTA is optional, UD researchers may opt to use the Non-Biologicals form as an alternative. Note that the UBMTA Letter must accompany the UBMTA in all cases. Please provide investigator/scientist information as appropriate and sign as recipient or provider. Attach the completed UBMTA to the Webform before submitting.
