BACKGROUND

 

A recent report, titled "Changing America:  The New Face of Science

and Engineering" and issued by the President's Task Force on Women,

Minorities, and the Handicapped in Science and Technology, December

1989, has documented a very low participation rate for Americans with

disabilities in the science and engineering workforce.  To address

this problem for the biomedical and behavioral research workforce,

the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Alcohol, Drug Abuse,

and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) and their awarding

components have developed an initiative that is designed to extend

opportunities to individuals with qualifying disabilities who are

capable of entering or resuming research careers.  Under this

initiative, individuals with disabilities are encouraged to pursue

biomedical research careers in areas within the missions of all the

awarding components of the NIH and ADAMHA through supplemental awards

to certain ongoing research grants.  It is hoped that the plan to

provide funding at several different stages in a research career will

substantially increase the number of individuals with disabilities in

biomedical research.

 

The NIH and ADAMHA hereby notify Principal Investigators holding

certain NIH or ADAMHA research grants of the availability of funds

for administrative supplements to existing grants for the support and

recruitment of scientists and students with disabilities.

Supplemental awards are available to support individuals with

disabilities from each of the following population groups:

 

o  High School Students.  Supplements under this program are designed

to foster an interest in biomedical and behavioral research.

 

o  Undergraduate Students.  This program will support undergraduate

students to encourage continuation on to graduate level training in

the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

 

o  Graduate Research Assistants.  Graduate students can receive

support under this program to develop their research capabilities.

 

o  Individuals in Postdoctoral Training.  This program provides

support during postdoctoral training to enable the development of an

independent career in biomedical research.

 

o  Investigators Developing Independent Research Careers.  Staff and

faculty members with a doctoral degree can receive short- and

long-term support for participation in an ongoing research project

while further developing their own independent research potential.

 

o  Established Investigators Who Become Disabled.  This program will

provide additional support for established NIH and ADAMHA

investigators and project leaders on components of program projects

and center grants who become disabled.  The additional support may be

requested for assistants or special equipment that will facilitate a

continuing contribution to the NIH research mission.  Because this

program differs in substantial ways from the other supplemental

awards listed here, it is described in a separate below.

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

For all of the supplemental programs listed above, the proposed

research experience must be an integral part of the approved, ongoing

research of the parent grant.  Also, with the exception of the

supplemental program for Established Investigators Who Become

Disabled, which is described in a separate section, individuals with

disabilities must be given the opportunity to interact with

individuals on the parent grant, to contribute intellectually to the

research, and to enhance his/her research skills and knowledge

regarding the particular area of biomedical science.  Furthermore,

the Principal Investigator must demonstrate a willingness and

understanding that the purpose of the award is to enhance the

research capability of the student or faculty member with a

disability, and that the research experience is intended to provide

opportunities for individuals with disabilities to develop into

independent, competitive research investigators.  All awards made

under these programs will be consistent with the goals of

strengthening the existing research program and the overall

programmatic balance and priorities of the funding component at the

NIH and ADAMHA.  Awards will be made according to the policies and

provisions stated in this announcement.

 

Applicants are encouraged to contact the NIH and ADAMHA institute

staff identified in the INQUIRIES section below prior to submission

in order to obtain specific information about application

characteristics and requirements.  It is also recognized that

individual circumstances vary and, for unusual situations, NIH and

ADAMHA program administrators should be consulted for a determination

of eligibility.

 

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS

 

As a part of these awards, funds may be requested to make changes or

adjustments in the research setting that will make it possible for an

otherwise qualified employee with disabilities to perform the

essential functions associated with his/her role on the project.  The

accommodations requested under this program must be DIRECTLY related

to the performance of the proposed role on the research project and

must be appropriate to the disabilities of the individual.  Some

types of accommodations that might be provided under these awards

include:  specialized equipment, assistive devices, and personnel

such as readers, interpreters, or assistants.  In all cases, the

total funds for accommodations requested from the supplement must be

reasonable in relationship to the direct costs of the parent grant

and the nature of the supplemental award.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Research Grants Eligible for Supplemental Awards:  Any Principal

Investigator at a domestic institution holding an active Research

Centers in Minority Institutions Award (G12), Research Project (R01),

Cooperative Clinical Research (R10), Research Demonstration and

Dissemination Projects (R18), U.S. - Japan Cooperative Medical

Science Program (R22), Resource-Related Research Projects (R24),

Outstanding Investigator Grants (R35), Method to Extend Research in

Time (MERIT) (R37), Research Program Projects (P01), Exploratory

Grants (P20), Center Core Grants (P30), Animal (Mammalian and Non-

mammalian) Model, and Animal and Biological Materials Resource Grants

(P40), Biotechnology Resource Grant Program (P41), Specialized Center

(P50), Comprehensive Center (P60), Cooperative Agreement (U01), or

Cooperative Clinical Research (U10) is eligible to submit a request

for an administrative supplement to the awarding component of the

parent grant.  Principal Investigators holding an active First

Independent Research Support and Transition (FIRST) Award (R29) also

may apply for a supplement under this program, but only when the

candidate with disabilities is a high school student, an

undergraduate student, or a graduate student.  Supplements for

individuals with disabilities on R29 awards may provide support above

the dollar limits on these awards.

 

In all cases, the parent grant must have support remaining for a

reasonable period at the time of a supplemental award.  Principal

Investigators are encouraged to submit an application no later than

three months before the anniversary date of the last two years

remaining on the parent grant.

 

Usually, each parent grant may have only one supplement for a person

with disabilities.  Appointment of more than one individual to a

single grant under these supplement programs will be considered

depending on the nature of the parent grant, the circumstances of the

request, and the program balance of the awarding component.

Supplemental awards under these programs do not preclude a separate

supplement to support an underrepresented minority (See NIH Guide for

Grants and Contracts, Vol. 2, No. 3, Part 1 of 2, January 24, 1992).

 

Candidates Eligible for Support by a Supplemental Award:  The purpose

of the request will be to support a high school student, an

undergraduate student, a graduate research assistant, an individual

in postdoctoral training, or a staff or faculty member with

disabilities to participate in ongoing research projects.  Awards

will be limited to citizens, non-citizen nationals of the United

States, and individuals who have been lawfully admitted for permanent

residence (i.e., in possession of an Alien Registration Receipt Card)

at the time of application.  Other specific eligibility requirements

relative to each type of award are set forth in the individual

program descriptions below.

 

Individuals with disabilities may receive support under these

programs on only one grant at any time, but may be supported by more

than one grant during the development of their research careers.

Support under the supplement programs is not transferable to another

individual.

 

The research supplement programs for individuals with disabilities

have been designed to attract disabled individuals into research

careers and are not intended to provide an alternative means of

supporting disabled individuals who are already supported by research

grants or other Public Health Service (PHS) mechanisms.  If the

Principal Investigator wishes to transfer an individual with

disabilities to supplemental support from an existing PHS supported

position, the reason for the transfer must be clearly documented.

Individuals may not be transferred to supplemental support simply to

increase the availability of funds on the parent grant for other uses

such as for supplies and travel.  Disabled graduate students or

disabled individuals in postdoctoral training who are supported by a

National Research Service Award (NRSA) research training grant may

not be transferred to supplemental support prior to the completion of

their appointed period of training.

 

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

 

A request for a supplement may be submitted at any time.  IN MAKING

REQUESTS, THE GRANTEE INSTITUTION, ON BEHALF OF THE PRINCIPAL

INVESTIGATOR OF THE PARENT GRANT AND IN COOPERATION WITH THE

INDIVIDUAL WITH DISABILITIES, MUST SUBMIT THE REQUEST FOR

SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE AWARDING COMPONENT THAT SUPPORTS

THE PARENT GRANT.  The request is not to be submitted to the NIH

Division of Research Grants. Principal Investigators are encouraged

to obtain the exact address for submission from the NIH and ADAMHA

program administrator on the parent grant.

 

The request for a supplemental award must include the following:

 

1.  A completed face page (with appropriate signatures) from Grant

Application Form PHS 398.  Include the title and grant number of the

parent grant in Item 1 and indicate which type of supplement is being

requested in Item 2.

 

2.  A brief three to four page description, prepared by the Principal

Investigator of the parent grant, that includes:

 

o  A summary or abstract of the funded grant or project.

 

o  A description of the research experience proposed for the disabled

individual.

 

o  How the research experience will expand and foster the training or

independent research capabilities of the candidate.

 

o  How the research experience will relate to the specific research

goals and objectives of the parent grant.

 

3.  A statement from the candidate with disabilities outlining

his/her research objectives and career goals.

 

4.  The social security number and biographical sketch of the

candidate that includes evidence of scientific achievement or

interest.

 

5.  A statement from the institution that establishes the eligibility

of the individual with disabilities for support under this program.

This must include information certifying the individual's

citizenship, the nature of the disability, any occupational

limitations associated with the disability, and the types of

accommodations that will permit the individual to undertake the

proposed research experience.  Also, the institution must indicate

its contribution to aid accommodation of the candidate to the

research environment.

 

6.  A proposed budget entered on budget pages from Grant Application

Form PHS 398, including the proposed salary and percent effort (where

appropriate) for the research experience in the first and future

years.  All special accommodations requested must be detailed and

justified in the budget section.  If the initial budget period

requested is less than 12 months, the budget should be prorated

accordingly.

 

7.  Documentation, if applicable, that the proposed research

experience was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use

Committee (IACUC) or human subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB)

of the grantee institution.

 

8.  A copy of an official transcript if the candidate is a student.

 

9.  If the individual with disabilities is a student at another

institution, the application also must include an appropriately

signed letter from a responsible official at the institution of

matriculation indicating that participation at the stated level of

effort is approved and will not detract from or interfere with

his/her course of studies.

 

10.  If any of the research is to be conducted at a site other than

the grantee institution, an appropriately signed letter from the

institution where the research is to be conducted must be submitted.

 

The request must be signed by the individual with disabilities, the

Principal Investigator, and the appropriate institutional business

official.

 

REVIEW CRITERIA

 

The staff of the particular awarding component will review requests

for supplements using the following general criteria:

 

o  The qualifications of the individual with disabilities including

career goals, prior research training, relevant experience, and the

potential for a research career after appropriate experience and

training.

 

o  The plan for the proposed research experience in the supplemental

request and its relationship to the parent grant.

 

o  The appropriateness of the proposed accommodations for the

candidate and his/her role on the research project.  The

appropriateness of the costs of the proposed accommodations to be

paid from the supplement relative to the cost of the parent project

and the nature of the requested supplemental award.  Evidence that

the proposed accommodations, including those provided by the grantee

institution, will be sufficient to enable the candidate to adapt to

the research environment.

 

o  Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the experience will

enhance the research potential, knowledge, and/or skills of the

candidate.

 

o  Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the activities of

the individual with disabilities will be an integral part of the

project.

 

o  Evidence of educational achievement and interest in science if the

candidate is a student.

 

Additional criteria related to the specific programs may also apply

and are described below.

 

FUNDING

 

The decision to fund a supplement will take six to eight weeks from

the time the completed application is received.  Applicants for

summer-only research appointments must submit early enough to ensure

that funding and accommodations are in place by the time the summer

experience is scheduled to begin.  In most cases, during the first

budget period, funds will be provided as an administrative supplement

to the parent grant.  In subsequent years, continued funding for the

supplement is contingent on funding of the parent grant and cannot

extend beyond the current competitive segment of the parent grant.

 

The continuation of support for the individual with disabilities in

the remaining years of the competitive segment of the grant will

depend upon a satisfactory review by the awarding component of

progress on both the parent grant and the supplemental project, the

research proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness

of the proposed budget to the proposed effort.

 

In non-competing applications, the progress report for the supplement

for the individual with disabilities must be clearly delineated from

the progress report for the parent grant.  The progress report in

both non-competing and competing applications must include

information about the research activities supported by the supplement

even if support for future years is not requested.  In future

competing applications, funds for continuation of the supplement must

be requested in the parent grant application and may NOT be requested

as a research supplement.

 

At the time of each appointment or reappointment in a new budget

period, the individual supported by a supplement for individuals with

disabilities must complete a Statement of Appointment Form (Form PHS

2271, revision 9/91).

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS

 

1.  High School Students

 

The purpose of this program is to provide disabled high school

students, who have demonstrated an interest and an aptitude for

scientific pursuits, with a meaningful experience in various aspects

of health-related research to stimulate interest in a career in

science.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Any qualified high school student with disabilities who is enrolled

in good standing at a local high school and is interested in

biomedical or behavioral research is encouraged to participate in

this program.

 

PROVISIONS

 

A high school student can receive up to $2,000 for supplies and

salary during a summer experience.  A part-time experience during the

regular school year would be reimbursed at the same rate.  Funds over

and above this $2,000 limit may be requested to permit accommodation

to the research environment.  This may include research equipment if

it is directly related to both the project AND to accommodating the

disabilities of the student.  In all cases, equipment may only be

purchased with prior approval of the NIH or ADAMHA awarding

component.

 

Students are expected to devote sufficient effort to the research

project and related activities during the period of support to gain

insight into the process of scientific discovery.  Support may be for

a minimum of three months during any one year which may include a

mixture of full-time summer experience and part-time experience

during the school year.  Principal Investigators are encouraged to

seek high school students who will devote at least two years to this

program (i.e., equivalent to two three-month, full-time, periods).

Exceptions to the latter will be considered, depending on the

circumstances of the applicant, the parent grant, and the specific

request.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section (above) for information about

application procedures, review criteria, and funding.

 

2.  Undergraduate Students

 

DESCRIPTION

 

This supplemental program provides an opportunity for any qualified

undergraduate student with disabilities, who is interested in

biomedical or behavioral research, to participate in a research

project at a research institution during the summer months or during

the school year.  This experience will be separate and apart from any

requirement of the regular academic program.

 

The success of this program is dependent on the ability of the

Principal Investigator to identify appropriate students.  A number of

procedures may be used to match investigators to appropriate college

students:  (1) the Principal Investigator may identify a student and

initiate the request for the supplement; (2) the institution may make

the pairing of the student with the Principal Investigator; (3) the

student may contact a grantee institution or an investigator and

request a research experience.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

The student may be affiliated with either the applicant institution

or any other academic institution.  Any qualified undergraduate

student with disabilities who is interested in biomedical or

behavioral research is encouraged to participate in this program.

 

PROVISIONS

 

This supplement is not to exceed $6.00 per hour for salary plus $125

per month for supplies and travel.  Funds over and above this limit

may be requested to permit accommodation to the research environment.

This may include research equipment, but only if it is directly

related to both the project AND to accommodating the disabilities of

the student.  In all cases, equipment may only be purchased with

prior approval of the NIH or ADAMHA awarding component.

 

Students are expected to devote an equivalent of at least three

months full-time effort to the research project and related

activities in any one year, and in most cases the period of support

for any individual should last at least two years.  Exceptions to the

latter will be considered, depending on the circumstances of the

applicant, the parent grant, and the specific request.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section (above) for information about

application procedures, review criteria, and funding.

 

3.  Graduate Research Assistants
