PA-18-591: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
NIDDK is issuing this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to announce the opportunity for investigators with active NIDDK-supported R01 grants that focus on Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) to apply for administrative supplements. The intent of these supplements is to catalyze and accelerate the pace and achievement of scientific research related to PKD.
Background
There remain major gaps in our understanding of the pathways which lead to the development of polycystic kidney disease. Challenges to early diagnosis and prognosis also remain. These gaps and challenges have slowed the development of treatment strategies which would prevent or delay the development of chronic kidney failure, as well as the other complications of PKD. The NIDDK seeks to support a broad and dynamic portfolio of PKD research and has planned a supplement mechanism to accomplish this goal.
Research Objectives
The projects proposed in the Administrative Supplements must be within the scope of the currently active R01 award but should extend or expand upon the work proposed in the original application.
Important Consideration: What activities are considered “within scope” and what would be a “change in scope”? See the NIH Grants Policy Statement, section on Change in Scope NIH external link, for more information.
Application and Submission Information
Applications for this initiative must be submitted using the following opportunity or its subsequent reissued equivalent.
All instructions in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide and PA-18-591 must be followed, with the following additions:
