Policy and Related Guidance                      

  • NIH Manual 1750- NIH Risk Management Program (New Policy Under Development)
    This chapter is currently being rewritten to meet changes in Federal directives and guidance for developing Risk Management Programs. We have temporarily rescinded this chapter to avoid any misinterpretation or implementation of guidance no longer in effect. If you have already begun drafting a Risk Management Plan for your area using the guidance from this chapter, you may have policy that is not in compliance with the NIH Risk Management requirements. The revised chapter will be posted for general utilization upon completion of NIH Risk Management Program Policy. Please contact Dr. Karen Hardy at 301-402-3510 for clarification and guidance before completing your program policy.

OMA will work with the appropriate offices to identify, score, and assess ARRA-related risks. These risks will join the population of risks selected for further assessmsent. OMA will work with OD and IC offices that are involved with ARRA funding to identify risks and assist with conducting control assessments for ARRA-related risks. OD and IC offices should continue to manage risks within their areas and may use ARRA-specific or existing guidance, processes, and structures to accomplish this.
