Dear Semel Investigators and Administrators
The NIH salary cap is $228K, effective 1/11/26: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-26-034.html Please begin applying the new cap for upcoming proposals (this won’t be required for the February R01s since we are 1 week from the deadline). For FCWs, the cap increase won’t impact any of the approved ones thus far. If you would like to use the new cap rate for any FCWs currently pending OES review, please check in with your fund manager.
NIH will also be issuing a notice soon that extends leniency on the NIH Common Forms through May 25, 2026. At this time, it is required to link your eRA Commons ID and ORCID iD. If you haven’t yet linked these IDs, please see the 2-minute video on how to do this here: https://oros.semel.ucla.edu/training-education/orcid-id-link-in-era-commons/
Please also visit the OROS website for additional resources: https://oros.semel.ucla.edu/education/

I also wanted to share that the proposed CBR for FY26-27 has been posted: https://www.finance.ucla.edu/composite-benefit-rate-assessment
