Purpose
The purpose of this Notice is to update the Award Project Period of NOT-OD-18-194, "Notice of Availability of Administrative Supplements for NIH Grants that are NOT Focused on Down Syndrome to Address Specific Down Syndrome Research Objectives." The updated language will clear confusion regarding the eligibility of grants in a no cost extension by allowing those in their first year of a no cost extension to apply. In addition, one additional requirement has been added to the review criteria under "Review Process" about being able to complete the work within the approved project period for the existing parent award.
Currently reads:
Award Project Period
"To be eligible, the parent award must receive funds in FY18 (Oct. 1, 2017-Sept. 30, 2018) and not be in an extension period. The request is for one year of funding, but the research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within 1-2 years. The earliest anticipated start date is August 1, 2018."

2. Is the work relevant to Down syndrome even though the parent award is not focused on Down syndrome research?
3. Does the work proposed address one of the components listed under the Down syndrome research objectives?
4. Does the work proposed have scientific merit?
5. Is the work likely to stimulate additional activity leading to progress on Down syndrome?
6. Does the work address a priority for the IC that issued the parent award (if applicable)?
