Definition: Additive Property of Inequalities. The additive property of inequalities states that if the same amount is added to both sides of an inequality, then the inequality is still true. Let x, y, and z be real numbers. In symbols, we can say the following: If x y, then x + z y + z. If x y, then x + z y + z.
NIH's SBIR and an STTR Omnibus grant solicitations allow small businesses to submit researcher-initiated projects that are within NIH's mission. For the additional NIH SBIR/STTR FOAs, please view the Funding page.
The total costs requested in your budget will include allowable direct costs (related to the performance of the grant) plus allowable F&A costs. If awarded, each budget period of the Notice of Award will reflect direct costs, applicable F&A, and in the case of SBIR or STTR awards, a profit or fee. F&A costs are determined by applying your organization's negotiated F&A rate to your direct cost base.
