PA-20-272 - 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)
In effort to enhance diversity in NIDDK fields of research, NIDDK is making available this opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from nationally underrepresented groups to receive research training under the existing NIDDK-funded T32 or TL1 award.
This program offers additional trainee research slots to eligible candidates on a T32 or TL1 when all regularly-awarded positions have been filled. The NIDDK administratively funds supplemental slots designated specifically for a selected trainee - either predoctoral or postdoctoral - to an existing T32 or TL1 award. That position remains a part of the T32 or TL1 for as long as the named individual is a member of the training program. When the individual no longer receives support from the T32, the funds for the position are removed from the grant.
To ensure an appropriate training experience, only predoctoral slots are considered for programs that exclusively support predoctoral training; the same applies to postdoctoral slots. Programs supporting both predoctoral and postdoctoral training may apply for either.
Eligibility
Individuals supported under this program must meet the administrative requirements for any trainee supported by a T32 or TL1 award (e.g., citizenship/permanent residency requirements, payback obligation) and must meet all the requirements for prior training, experience, and commitment to research expected of any other trainee in the particular T32 or TL1 program wishing to support them.
Usually only one additional trainee slot (either predoctoral or postdoctoral) will be awarded to any T32/TL1. If a trainee has been appointed to a regular slot on a T32 or TL1 grant, a supplemental slot will not be considered for additional years for that trainee.
Predoctoral and postdoctoral students qualifying for this program include, but are not limited to, individuals from underrpresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
