The supplemental research proposed must be within the scope of the parent grant. The administrative supplement cannot add a new specific aim. Rather, the proposed research must be describable as sub-aims of the existing specific aims of an active grant.
Award Project Period
Active grants with project end dates in fiscal year 2019 or later are eligible. The active award should not be in a terminal no-cost extension. The research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the remaining active budget period for the existing parent award. The earliest anticipated start date is September 1, 2018.
Budget and Available Funds
Supplement budget requests must reflect actual needs of the proposed project and cannot exceed the total budget of the existing grant award per year. Requests may only be for one year of support. Only one supplement request per grant will be accepted.
Eligible Individuals (Program Director/Principal Investigator [PD/PI])
Individual(s) must hold an active grant or cooperative agreement funded by NCCIH. For supplements to parent awards that include multiple PDs/PIs, the supplement may be requested by any or all of the PDs/PIs (in accordance with the existing leadership plan) and submitted by the awardee institution of the parent award.
