NIH SNAP Definition

NIH Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process (SNAP) designated award budgets are set up in SAGE Budget with all periods represented. Funded amounts are included for the authorized periods and $0 amounts are listed for future periods.

SNAP designation is usually identified in Section III, Terms and Conditions, of the Notice of Award (NoA). SNAP routinely applies to “K” and “R” awards, except R35s.

Non-SNAP awards do not have automatic carry over (carry forward) of unobligated balances, such as clinical trials, P01, R35, and awards to individuals. Fellowship Grants and Training Grants are non-SNAP.

The only way to know for sure if your award is SNAP designated and thereby requires an award budget set up with all periods as stated above is by reviewing the terms and conditions listed on the NoA.

Review the Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process (SNAP) glossary entry for more information.

NIH SNAP Award Budget Guidance

Develop the NIH SNAP award budget in SAGE Budget with the following budget entry features:

1) In Budget Settings, create a budget with all expected award periods represented.

Note: Make sure that the budget period start and end dates on the SAGE award budget and on the Award Setup Request match the expected award periods identified in the Notice of Award.

2) Use a simplified award budget entry approach, unless there is a sponsor or departmental need for greater detail.

3) Enter the budget amounts into the first authorized budget period. All future periods should have $0 amounts.

Tip: Developing the NIH SNAP award budget with all future periods present, even though funding hasn’t been authorized yet, eliminates the need for campus grant preparers to request Temporary Internal Extensions in order to keep spending on the award, since automatic carryforward is a term and condition of NIH SNAP awards.
