Acceptance of this award including the Terms and Conditions is acknowledged by the grantee when funds are drawn down or otherwise obtained from the grant payment system.
Each publication, press release or other document that cites results from NIH grant-supported research must include an acknowledgment of NIH grant support and disclaimer such as The project described was supported by Award Number R43DA032161 from the National Institute On Drug Abuse. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute On Drug Abuse or the National Institutes of Health.
Award recipients are required to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy.

Award recipients must promote objectivity in research by establishing standards to ensure that the design, conduct and reporting of research funded under NIH-funded awards are not biased by a conflicting financial interest of an Investigator. Investigator is defined as the Principal Investigator and any other person who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of NIH-funded research or proposed research, including the Investigators spouse and dependent children. Awardees must have a written administrative process to identify and manage financial conflict of interest and must inform Investigators of the conflict of interest policy and of the Investigators responsibilities. Prior to expenditure of these awarded funds, the Awardee must report to the NIH Awarding Component the

SECTION IV- DA Special Terms and Conditions - 1R43DA032161-01
PAYMENT INFORMATION: The awardee organization will receive information and forms from the Division of Payment Management of the Department of Health and Human Services regarding requests for cash, manners of payment, and associated reporting requirements. Payment may be made on a cost-reimbursement or advance basis. Cost reimbursements may be requested monthly, quarterly or at other periodic intervals. Advance payments may be requested on a monthly basis only. The telephone number for the Payment Management System Office is ###-###-####. The Division of Payment Management website is: http://www.dpm.psc.gov/
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: Normally, the awardee organization retains the principal worldwide patent rights to any invention developed with United States Government support. Under Title 37 Code of Federal Regulations Part 401, the Government receives a royalty-free license for its use, reserves the right to require the patent holder to license others in certain circumstances, and requires that anyone exclusively licensed to sell the invention in the United States must normally manufacture it substantially in the United States.
Rights and obligations related to inventions created or reduced to practice as a result of this award are detailed in 35 U.S.C. 205 and 37 CFR Part 401. These inventions must be reported to the Extramural Invention Reporting and Technology Resources Branch, OPERA, NIH, 6701 Rockledge Drive, MSC 7750, Bethesda, MD 20892-7750, (301) 435-1986. For additional information, access the NIH link on the Interagency Edison web site (www.iedison.gov) which includes an electronic invention reporting system, reference information and the text to 37 CFR 401.
To the extent authorized by 35 U.S.C, Section 205, the Government will not make public any information disclosing an NIH-supported invention for a 4-year period to allow the awardee organization a reasonable time to file a patent application, nor will the Government release any information that is part of that patent application.
When purchasing equipment or products under this SBIR award, the grantee shall use only American-made items, whenever possible.

The fee provided as part of this Notice of Grant Award is in addition to direct and facilities and administrative costs. The fee is to be drawn down from the DHHS Payment Management System in increments proportionate to the draw down of costs.
Allowable costs conducted by for-profit organizations will be determined by applying the cost principles of Contracts with Commercial Organizations set forth in 48 CFR, Subpart 31.2.
The Code of Federal Regulations (Title 45 Part 74.26) stipulates that a commercial organization is subject to audit requirements for a non-federal audit if, during its fiscal year, it expended $500,000 or more under HHS awards and at least one award is an HHS grant or subgrant. Therefore, the organization must have one grant or subgrant in order to be required to obtain a non-federal audit, but other HHS awards are included in the threshold calculations and the scope of the audit. (See threshold calculation examples, http://oamp.od.nih.gov/dfas/faqexamples.html.)

Discuss any changes in the specific aims since the project was initiated. Include the Inclusion Enrollment Report with the final enrollment data for clinical research (MS Word or PDF).
5. List titles and complete references to publications, and manuscripts accepted for publication, if any, that resulted from the project?s effort. Submit five copies of such items, except patent and invention reports, as an Appendix.
6. List patents, copyrights, trademarks, invention reports and other printed materials, if any, that resulted from the project or describe patent status, trade secrets or other demonstration of IP protection.
7. Describe the technology developed from this SBIR/STTR, its intended use and who will use it.
8. Describe the current status of the product (e.g., under development, commercialized, in use, discontinued).
9. If applicable, describe the status of FDA approval for your product, process, or service (e.g., continuing pre-IND studies, filed an IND, in Phase I (or II or III) clinical trials, applied for approval, review ongoing, approved, not approved).
10. Describe how your company has benefited from the program and/or the technology developed (e.g., firms growth, follow-on funding, increased technical expertise, licensing agreements, spin-off companies, public offering [include stock exchange and symbol]).
11. List of the generic and/or commercial name of product, process, or service, if any, that resulted from SBIR/STTR funding. If applicable, indicate the number of products sold.

4
· Report on the inclusion of gender and minority study subjects (using the gender and minority inclusion table as provided in the PHS 2590)
· Where appropriate, indicate whether children were involved in the study or how the study was relevant for conditions affecting children (see ?Public Policy Requirements and Objectives? Requirements for Inclusiveness in Research Design?Inclusion of Children as Subjects in Clinical Research? in the PHS 398 at URL http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps_2003/NIHGPS_Part5.htm#_Toc54600090)
· Describe any data, research materials (such as cell lines, DNA probes, animal models), protocols, software, or other information resulting from the research that is available to be shared with other investigators and how it may be accessed.
The Final Progress Report and Final Invention Statement should be submitted in an electronic format.
If the grantee institution is registered to do business in the NIH Commons, all required documents should be submitted electronically. The Final Progress Report (FPR) and the Final Invention Statement (FIS) should be submitted electronically through the NIH Commons available at https://commons. era. nih.gov/commons/.
