NIDR GUIDELINES ON SUPPLEMENT APPLICATIONS NIH Guide, Volume 25, Number 20, June 21, 1996 P.T. 34 Keywords: Grants Administration/Policy+ Oral Diseases National Institute of Dental Research 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.
