Terminations and Appeals (reimbursement issues)
  • Has anyone attempted or been successful in submitting their preliminary NIH termination to the formal HHS Appeals Board? What lessons or strategies could help others prepare?
  • What lessons have institutions learned from the recent unprecedented award terminations? How are those experiences shaping policies or practices? Are there ideas forming to mitigate future risks?
  • How might institutions approach award negotiations and agreements differently to strengthen protections against unilateral federal actions or unexpected policy shifts?
  • For terminations for convenience, what would be the implications for institutional planning, research continuity, and faculty confidence, and what strategies can institutions put in place now to mitigate those risks?
