Grantees must generally retain financial and programmatic records, supporting documents, statistical reports and all other records that are required by the terms of a grant or may reasonably be considered pertinent to a grant for a period of 3 years from the date the annual FSR is submitted.

Those grantees must maintain the records pertinent to the entire competitive segment for 3 years from the date of submission of the annual FSR to NIH. Foreign organizations and Federal institutions must retain records for 3 years from the date of the annual FSR to NIH. See 45 CFR 74.53 and 92.42 for exceptions and qualifications to the 3-year retention requirement (e.g., if any litigation, claim, financial management review, or audit is started before the expiration of the 3-year period, the records must be retained until all litigation, claims or audit findings involving the records have been resolved and final action taken). Those sections also specify the retention period for other types of grant-related records, including F&A cost proposals and property records.

This right also includes timely and reasonable access to a recipient"s personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents.
