Research Colleagues,
We have received many questions about the new HHS and NIH policy requirements issued by HHS (see page 18) and NIH. These terms have been or will be incorporated in the Civil Rights Protections sections of the HHS and NIH Grants Policy Statements. We are studying the implications of these new terms in partnership with the UC Office of the President and UC Office of General Counsel. For the immediate term, all newly issued NIH and HHS award notices and award modifications received by UCLA are being held temporarily while we work to analyze and understand the new requirements. We will contact you as soon as we have more information.
Sincerely,
Roger M. Wakimoto
Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activities
