This addendum is to inform potential applicants of change in the 
eligibility requirements for the administrative supplements 
announced in the NIH Guide notice NOT-CA-03-008.  The eligibility 
requirements have been changed as follows:

"For CMBB purposes, a person is an underrepresented minority if 
he or she belongs to a particular ethnic and racial group that 
has been determined by the grantee institution to be 
underrepresented in cancer-related biomedical, behavioral, 
clinical or social science research.  Underrepresented 
individuals are not limited to racial and ethnic minorities but 
can also include individuals, as selected by the institution, as 
underrepresented as cancer research, e.g. first generation 
college graduates, the economically disadvantaged, etc."

All other provisions of the Guidelines for Minority Supplements 
to NCI Cancer Education and Career Development Program Grants 
(R25T) for Pre- and Post-doctoral fellows remain unchanged.  The 
complete Guidelines can be accessed on the Comprehensive Minority 
Biomedical Branch website:
