Notice of Listing of Grants for Research Projects

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human 
Services.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 56160]]

SUMMARY: Section 52.1(b) of the regulations governing grants for 
research projects, codified at 42 CFR part 52, authorizes the Secretary 
of Health and Human Services to publish periodically a list of all of 
the research project grant programs to which the research project grant 
regulations apply. This Notice provides the most recent list of the 
programs covered by the regulations and supersedes the prior Notice 
published on November 25, 2003 (68 FR 66114-66117).

DATES: Effective Date: September 26, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Moore, NIH Regulations Officer, 
Office of Management Assessment, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Room 601, 
MSC 7669, Rockville, MD 20892, telephone 301-496-4607 (not a toll-free 
number), fax 301-402-0169, e-mail jm40z@nih.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) 
published a final rule in the Federal Register on October 24, 1996 (61 
FR 55102-55106), amending the regulations at 42 CFR part 52, Grants for 
Research Projects, which govern Public Health Service (PHS) research 
project grants. We amended the regulations to apply to all research 
project grant programs administered by PHS and its components, 
including the programs administered by NIH, except for grants for 
health services research, demonstrations, and evaluation projects 
administered by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), 
to make it unnecessary to include a long list of programs in the 
regulations or to go through the lengthy process of amending the 
regulations each time a new program is established. At that time, we 
provided in the preamble a listing of the applicable programs and 
indicated that we would publish periodically a list of the research 
project grant programs to which the regulations apply, and that the 
applicability of the regulations to new programs would be announced as 
PHS components initiated new programs.
    Subsequently, we published the Notice entitled, ``Notice of Listing 
of Grants for Research Projects,'' in the Federal Register on November 
25, 2003. In the Notice we provided an updated list of programs to 
which the regulations at part 52 apply that reflected the addition of 
new authorities in sections 317J, 317K, 317L, 330E, 399M, 399N, 409E, 
434A, 445I, 447B, and 1261 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), 
as amended.
    We are now publishing a further updated list that reflects the 
addition of the new authority in subsections (a) and (f) of section 
485D of the PHS Act, as amended, concerning research in complementary 
and alternative medicine. Specifically, the authority in subsection (a) 
concerns the conduct and support of basic and applied research 
(including both intramural and extramural research), research training, 
and dissemination of health information with respect to identifying, 
investigating, and validating complementary and alternative treatment, 
diagnostic and prevention modalities, and disciplines and systems of 
complementary and alternative medicine. Subsection (f) concerns the 
conduct and support of high quality, rigorous scientific reviewing of 
complementary and alternative medicine modalities, including outcomes 
research and investigations, epidemiological studies, health services 
research, basic sciences research, clinical trials, and other 
appropriate research and investigational activities.
    The regulations codified at 42 CFR part 52 apply to all PHS 
research project grant programs except for grants for health services 
research, demonstrations, and evaluation projects administered by the 
AHRQ. Specifically, the research project grant authorities to which the 
Grants for Research Projects regulations apply include:
