ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENTS

Application Deadlines: OPEN, though some institutes and centers (IC) may have specific deadlines.

To be eligible, the parent grant must be active and the research/scientific activities proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the current competitive segment. The proposed supplement MUST be within the general scope of the peer-reviewed activities and aims approved within the parent grant, including projects on a no-cost extension.

It is anticipated that supplement funding will be awarded within a short period after receipt of the supplement request. Please note that in general NIH expects to award supplements of not more than 50 percent of the amount of the parent grant, including requests for equipment purchases of under $100,000.

Potential applicants should review the instructions for Administrative Supplements issued by their funding institute or center (IC) before responding to this Notice. Some ICs will consider administrative supplements only in target areas identified on their Web sites.
