Frequently-Asked Questions

How do I know if an NIH award is SNAP eligible?

Award Portal: Grants Information, and the Notice of Award all indicate Streamlined Noncompeting Award Procedures (SNAP) eligibility.

Some types of awards (i.e. F-series, T-series, etc.) are never SNAP eligible.

The Notice of Award (NoA) Section III – Terms and Conditions should detail if the award is SNAP eligible.

Award Portal: Grants Information Special Condition

Award Portal indicates SNAP eligible awards in the Grant Information section of the Grants tab in the Special Conditions (Grant) row.
