This law caps NIH's administrative spending at 5.5% of its yearly budget. Five NIH components are exempt from that cap. Since 1989, NIH funds must also cover nurse pay under VA nursing rules.

(a) The total amount NIH spends in a fiscal year on "administrative expenses" can't be more than 5.5% of NIH's total appropriation for that year. This cap doesn't apply to the National Library of Medicine, the National Center for Nursing Research, the John E. Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences, the Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center, or the Office of Medical Applications of Research. "Administrative expenses" here means the costs of supporting grant, contract, and cooperative-agreement awards, and the costs of generally running NIH's scientific programs and activities. (b) Starting in fiscal year 1989, NIH money must be available to pay nurses and allied health professionals under the same pay rates, scheduling options, benefits, and other rules that apply to nurses at the Department of Veterans Affairs, under chapter 73 of title 38.
