University of Utah Claimed Allowable Costs Under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Grant Numbers 1RC2LM010798-01 and 5RC2LM010798-02.

摘要

The University of Utah (the grantee), founded in 1850, is a metropolitan research institution located in Salt Lake City, Utah. NIH awarded the grantee two Recovery Act grants (an original and a subsequent award) totaling $2.8 million for research related to developing a master person index that unambiguously identifies each person who has received health care in the State of Utah. The grant period was September 30, 2009, through September 29, 2011; the grantee has requested a third-year, no-cost extension, and consequently has not spent all of the grant funds. As of September 29, 2011, the grantee had claimed $1,359,814 under the NIH grants. Our objective was to determine whether costs claimed by the grantee were allowable under the terms of the grants and applicable Federal regulations.
