Managing ARRA Supplements in GMAS
NIH is awarding a significant portion of its ARRA/Stimulus funds via supplements to existing awards. Managing the significantly more substantial and frequent reporting required for ARRA awards, and ensuring separate accountability for projects that include ARRA and non-ARRA funds is a challenge. (OMB and NIH guidance is clear that ARRA funds cannot be mingled with non-ARRA funds, even if under the same parent grant.) After reviewing several potential options, it was decided Harvard-wide that ARRA supplements each be set up as separate segments in GMAS, with new fund numbers. In the cases where multiple supplements are awarded under the same parent grant, those supplements will be set up within that same segment under individual account groups.
