Otherwise, the project period of the supplement application will be prorated to end concurrent with that of the parent award. Grants currently under no-cost extension are ineligible.
    • BRAIN Initiative: Research Resource Grants for Technology Integration and Dissemination (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) awardees are NOT eligible.
    • In the first sentence of the Research Strategy, please state that the parent grant was awarded under the BRAIN Initiative and identify the specific FOA of the parent grant (e.g., RFA-NS-18-023) to facilitate process and tracking of the supplement application.
    • Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the program officer listed on the most recent Notice of Award of the parent award to confirm eligibility.
