The participating Institutes and Centers (ICs) are inviting applications to support administrative supplements to existing awards of scientists who are outstanding mentors and who have demonstrated compelling commitments and contributions to enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the biomedical sciences. Excellent mentorship and superior training are critical to the development of exceptional future scientists. This administrative supplement recognizes the crucial role great mentors play in the development of future leaders in the scientific research enterprise.
The supplement awards will provide up to $250,000.00 (direct costs), not to exceed the cost of the parent award, to grants supporting faculty members who have mentoring and/or mentorship as part of their existing awards and have demonstrated a commitment to outstanding mentorship and training, especially to individuals from groups identified as underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (e.g., see the Notice of NIH's of Interest in Diversity). As administrative supplements, the work proposed needs to be within the scope of the research or training that is already supported. The award must have a component related to mentoring. Examples include but are not limited to: a Research Education Program that describes mentored research experiences, a Career Development section, a Plan to Enhance Diverse Perspectives, or a discrete objective related to mentoring.
Funds will be provided to perform additional research within the scope of the parent grant, to develop curricula or training activities to enhance mentor training, and/or to help foster the research career development of additional students, post-doctorates, or other trainees, and/or for additional trainee slots.
To be eligible, the parent award must be active and the research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the competitive segment. The award may not be in a terminal no-cost extension or going into a no-cost extension in fiscal year 2022.

Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) of the following activity codes are eligible for the program: DP1, DP2, DP4, DP5, G12, G20, P01, P20, P2C, P30, P40, P41, P42, P50, P51, P60, PM1, PN2, R00, R01, R03, R15, R16, R18, R21, R21/R33, R24, R25, R33, R34, R35, R37, R38

PD/PIs with more than one independent research project grant award are ineligible for this supplement. Only one request per PD/PI will be considered.
Budget
Applicants may request up to $250,000 in direct costs, not to exceed the direct costs of the parent grant, exclusive of Facilities and Administrative costs. Supplement awards may provide support above the established program budget limits only for R15, R16, SC1, SC2, and SC3.
Limited-Resourced Institutions (LRIs): Requests may be for up to two years of support. Highly Resourced Institutions (HRIs): Requests may be for one year of support only.
The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award.
To qualify as an LRI, institutions must:
These criteria are similar to the Research Centers in Minority Institutions criteria, an independent program.
HRIs are institutions that do not meet the LRI criteria.
Administrative supplements can be used to cover costs that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the peer-reviewed and approved project; costs associated with enhancing mentor training in the research training environment through the development of evidence-informed educational modules or other activities; and/or costs associated with offering additional trainee slots.
Application and Submission Information
Before submitting an application, applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the Program Official for the parent grant or the contact listed below to confirm eligibility and to obtain technical assistance.
