NIH has posted the following important notices regarding funding in 2007. 

STIPEND LEVELS: NIH has released the stipend levels for the government fiscal year 2007 National Research Service Awards. The stipend levels for FY 2007 will remain the same as in FY 2006. The announcement also summarizes the new policy and benefit levels for "Training Related Expenses" for trainees and the "Institutional Allowance" for individual fellows.  <http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-052.html>http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-052.html
FY 2007 FUNDING ON NON-COMPETING AWARDS: NIH has announced that non-competing research awards made with FY 2007 funding will be awarded at 97.1% of the FY 2007 committed level. Future year commitments will also be adjusted accordingly. However, institutes and centers "will maintain the flexibility to supplement such non-competing awards on a case-by-case basis according to scientific and programmatic imperatives." Non-competing awards previously issued in FY 2007 at reduced levels will be revised to restore funds to the level indicated above. NIH has stated that this policy does not apply to Career Awards, SBIR/STTRs, and the Ruth L. Kirschstein-National Research Service Award (NRSA) Fellowship Grants - these mechanisms will be funded at the committed level.  <http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-049.html>http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-049.html
FY 2007 SALARY CAP GUIDANCE: Final guidance on the FY 2007 NIH salary cap rate of $186,600 has been announced. Departments can find instructions for implementation of the salary cap at UCSF on the C&G webpage at:  <http://www.research.ucsf.edu/cg/memo/cgSalarycap.asp>http://www.research.ucsf.edu/cg/memo/cgSalarycap.asp NOTE: If you are submitting a proposal to NIH with a categorized budget, application of the federal salary cap should be noted on the proposal budget justification page in the justification section for the individual utilizing the capped rate.  <http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-051.html>http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-051.html
