[Items] Audiovisual Activities
Allowable for the production of an audiovisual. "Audiovisual" means any product containing visual imagery, sound, or both, such as motion pictures, films, videotapes, live or recorded radio or television programs or public service announcements, slide shows, filmstrips, audio recordings, multimedia presentations, or exhibits where visual imagery, sound, or both are an integral part. "Production" refers to the steps and techniques used to create a finished audiovisual product including, but not limited to, design, layout, scriptwriting, filming or taping, fabrication, sound recording, and editing. A recipient with in-house production capability must determine whether it would be more efficient and economical to use that capability or to contract for the production of an audiovisual. If an audiovisual intended for members of the general public (i.e., people who are not researchers or health professions personnel or who are not directly involved in project activities as employees, trainees, or participants such as volunteers or patients) is produced under an NIH grant-supported project, the recipient must submit two copies of the finished product along with its annual or final progress report (see Administrative Requirements-Monitoring-Reporting and Administrative Requirements-Closeout). The costs of such copies are allowable project costs. Audiovisuals produced under an NIH grant-supported project must bear an acknowledgment and disclaimer, such as the following: The production of this [type of audiovisual (motion picture, television program, etc.)] was supported by Grant No.____________ from [name of NIH awarding IC]. Its contents are solely the responsibility of [name of recipient organization] and do not necessarily represent the official views of [name of NIH awarding IC].
