The National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) is committed to

increasing the pool of talented men and women involved in oral and

craniofacial research.  The National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Research Supplements for Underrepresented Minorities, Research

Supplements for Individuals with Disabilities, and Supplements to

Promote Reentry into Biomedical and Behavioral Research Careers,

respectively, have proven to be effective mechanisms for NIDR to

accomplish this goal.  These programs provide support for individuals

at various stages of their careers ranging from high school through

undergraduate and predoctoral studies to postdoctoral and faculty

levels to participate in ongoing NIH-supported research.  The full

guidelines for these programs were published in the NIH Guide for

Grants and Contracts, Vol. 22, No. 23, November 26, 1993 (Supplements

for Minority Individuals), Volume 21, Number 3, Part I of II, January

24, 1992 (Supplements for Individuals with Disabilities), and Vol.

23, No. 18, May 13, 1994 (Reentry Supplements).  These guidelines

contain pertinent and important information on submitting an

application and must be followed in preparing an application.  While

the NIDR is in compliance with the general provisions and application

procedures, the Division of Extramural Research (DER) has developed

additional guidelines that will aid in the completion of an

application.

 

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

 

Applicants are encouraged to communicate with the DER Program

Director responsible for the portfolio in which the parent grant is

housed prior to submission in order to obtain specific information

about preparing and submitting a supplemental application.  A listing

of program staff in DER is listed under INQUIRIES.  An original and

three copies of the application must be sent directly to the DER

Program Director.  Staff will notify the Principal Investigator of

the receipt of the application by letter.  Following the review of

the application the Principal Investigator and Business Office will

be notified by letter of the action taken.  The request for

supplemental award must follow the procedures outlined in the NIH

Guide with the exception of the provisions stated below.

 

1.  Participants in the Dentist Scientist Award Program who have not

completed their Ph.D degree are NOT eligible for a minority

supplement.

 

2.  Travel allowance for meeting attendance for all awardees is

limited to $800 per year.

 

3.  Equipment may be purchased only in unusual circumstances with

prior approval by NIDR program staff.

 

4.  Funds for supplies will be provided up to $1,500 and $2,500 for a

graduate student and postdoctoral individual, respectively.  All

costs must be justified by the extent of the commitment and the aims

of the research.

 

5.  Salaries for individuals applying for a supplement for

postdoctoral training may not exceed those in the table below. Fringe

benefits are also an allowable cost.

 

Years of Postdoctoral Research Experience         Salary/Year

          0                                        $19,608

          1                                        $20,700

          2                                        $25,600

          3                                        $26,900

          4                                        $28,200

          5                                        $29,500

          6                                        $30,800

          7 or more                                $32,300

 

6.  Tuition remission is considered a part of compensation and is an

allowable expense for all candidates pursuing a graduate research

degree (Masters, PhD or Doctorate of Sciences) but not the DDS or MD

degrees.  Individuals with a DDS or DMD degree are encouraged to

pursue graduate research degrees and, therefore, tuition remission

requests are allowable for these candidates.  NIDR does not provide

tuition remission reimbursement for high school and undergraduate

students. Courses may be taken at the institution where the research

is being conducted or at another institution.

 

7.  The level of graduate student compensation is determined by the

guidelines published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol.

25, No. 8, March 15, 1996.  According to these guidelines an NIH

institute may award the actual amount of total compensation requested

up to a maximum of $23,000.  Total compensation for graduate students

includes salary, including fringe benefits, and tuition remission.

Applications not in compliance with these guidelines will be

returned.

 

8.  It is important for mentors at all levels of the program to

provide specific steps and training experiences that will be included

to prepare the individual for a career in biomedical and behavioral

research.
