National Institutes of Health
PURPOSE
This program, originally announced in 1989, was established to address the
need to increase the number of underrepresented minority scientists
participating in biomedical research and the health related sciences.
Although the NIH currently provides opportunities for minorities through the
traditional research grant programs and through special initiatives supported
by various components of the NIH there is no evidence that this need has
changed. Therefore, NIH has continued its efforts to establish a diversified
workforce by increasing the number of individuals from underrepresented
racial and ethnic groups actively participating in biomedical research. In
addition, in more recent years, it has become increasingly clear that there
is a serious health care disparity among minority groups in this country. The
NIH recognizes the need to expand research opportunities for minority
scientists to help eliminate health disparities.
In response to these concerns, the NIH continues to emphasize the use of
administrative supplements to attract underrepresented minorities to the
sciences and to careers in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social
science research. This program announcement has been endorsed by all the
awarding components of the NIH and is designed to provide support for
research experiences for minorities throughout the continuum from high school
to the faculty level.
The NIH hereby notifies all Principal Investigators holding NIH research
grants that funds are available for administrative supplements to existing
grants for the support and recruitment of underrepresented minority
investigators and students. The aim of these supplements is to attract and
encourage minority individuals to enter and pursue health-related research
careers in areas within the mission areas of all the awarding components of
the NIH.
HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health
promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2010," a PHS
led national activity for setting priority areas. This Program Announcement
(PA), Title of PA, is related to one or more of the priority areas.
Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2010" at

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
ELIGIBLE AWARDS: Principal Investigators at domestic institutions who hold an
active R01, R10, R18, R22, R24, R35, R37, P01, P20, P30, P40, P41, P50, P51,
P60, U01, U10, U19, U41, U42 or U54 grant are generally eligible to submit a
request for an administrative supplement to the awarding component of the
parent grant for any of the supplemental programs offered here. Principal
Investigators holding an Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15), an
Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) or a Small Grant Award (R03) also may
apply for a supplement under this program. Grantees with support from these
mechanisms MUST check with the appropriate awarding component before an
application for a supplement is submitted. Awardees of the R03, R15, and R21
grants may apply only when the minority candidate is a high school or an
undergraduate student. However, exceptions to these rules may be made.
Applicants should check with their awarding component. Minority supplements
to the grant mechanisms such as the R15, or the R03 may provide support above
the established dollar limits. The P20, P30, and P60 award mechanisms are
eligible for supplements only when they contain research components.
In all cases, at the time of a supplemental award, the parent grant must have
support remaining for a reasonable period (usually two years or more). The
purpose of the application is to request support for an underrepresented
minority high school student, undergraduate student, post-baccalaureate
student, post-master’s degree student, graduate student, individual in
postdoctoral training, or a staff or faculty member to participate in an
ongoing research project. Specific eligibility requirements relative to each
level of award are set forth in the description of the individual supplement
programs (below).
ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES: For the purpose of this announcement, underrepresented
minority students and investigators are defined as individuals belonging to a
particular ethnic or racial group that has been determined by the grantee
institution to be underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical or
social sciences. Awards will be limited to citizens or non-citizen nationals
of the United States or to individuals who have been lawfully admitted for
permanent residence (i.e., in possession of an Alien Registration Receipt
Card) at the time of application. Before submitting an application for a
research supplement, applicants are encouraged to call their program
administrator at the NIH to discuss any aspects of this program that need
clarification. For general information about the program, minority candidates
are encouraged to contact an appropriate awarding institute listed under
INQUIRIES at the end of this document.
The NIH anticipates that by providing research opportunities for
underrepresented minorities at various career levels, the number of
minorities entering and remaining in health-related research careers will
increase. Accordingly, Principal Investigators are encouraged to consider
administrative supplements under this program for minority individuals at the
following career levels:
o High School Students who have expressed an interest in the health-related
sciences.
o Undergraduate Students who have demonstrated an interest in the health-
related sciences and wish to pursue graduate level training in these areas.
o Post-Baccalaureate Students and Post-Master’s Degree Students who have
recently graduated and have demonstrated an interest in health-related
sciences and wish to pursue graduate level training in these areas.
o Predoctoral Students who wish to develop their research capabilities in the
health-related sciences.
o Individuals in Postdoctoral Training who wish to participate as
postdoctoral researchers in ongoing research projects and career development
experiences in preparation for an independent career in a health-related
science.
o Minority Staff and Faculty who wish to participate in ongoing research
projects while further developing their own independent research potential.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
In all cases, the proposed research experience must be an integral part of
the approved ongoing research of the parent grant and have the potential to
contribute significantly to the research career development of the candidate.
As part of this research experience, the principal investigator must describe
a plan by which the minority individual will have the opportunity to interact
with individuals on the parent grant, to contribute intellectually to the
research, and to enhance her/his 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 minority
student or faculty member and that the research experience is intended to
provide opportunities for development as a productive research investigator.
Supplemental awards will be consistent with the goal of strengthening the
existing research program and with the overall programmatic balance and
priorities of the funding component of the NIH. Awards will be made according
to the policies and provisions stated in this announcement or as further
specified by the NIH component funding the parent grant. The award limits
listed in this document for each career level represents the support NIH will
provide and does not preclude the institution's use of funds from other
sources to supplement the award.
Usually, each parent grant may support only one minority supplement.
Appointment of more than one individual to a single grant depends on the
nature of the parent grant, the circumstances of the request, and the program
balance of the NIH awarding component. Minority individuals may receive
support from only one of these supplement programs at a time, but may be
supported by more than one minority supplement during the development of
their research careers. Support under the supplement programs is not
transferable to another individual or transportable to another institution.
The minority supplement programs have been designed to attract
underrepresented minority individuals into research careers and are not
intended to provide an alternative or additional means of supporting minority
individuals who already receive support from a research grant or a research
training grant or any other DHHS funding mechanism. Minority graduate
students or individuals in postdoctoral training who are supported by a
National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional research training grant
may not be transferred to supplemental support prior to the completion of
their appointed period of training. Individuals may not be transferred to a
minority supplement to increase the availability of funds to the parent grant
for other uses.
Applicants are encouraged to contact the NIH institute staff listed under
INQUIRIES prior to submission to obtain specific information about preparing
and submitting an application. It is also recognized that individual
circumstances vary, and for unusual situations, NIH program administrators
should be consulted for a determination of eligibility.
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 minority individual MUST SUBMIT THE
REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS DIRECTLY TO THE AWARDING COMPONENT THAT
SUPPORTS THE PARENT GRANT. The request should not be submitted to the NIH
Center for Scientific Review. Principal Investigators are encouraged to
obtain the address for submission from the NIH 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 on line 1 and the type of supplement being requested on line 2.
2. A brief three to four page description, prepared by the Principal
Investigator of the parent grant, that includes:
a. A summary or abstract of the funded grant or project.
b. A description of the research and career development experiences proposed
for the candidate.
c. A description of how the research and career development experiences will
expand and foster the research capabilities of the candidate, and how the
proposed experiences relates to the specific research goals and objectives of
the parent grant.
3. A signed statement from the candidate outlining her/his research
objectives and career goals.
4. A biographical sketch of the candidate that includes evidence of
scientific achievement or interest. The source of current funding must also
be listed.
5. Social Security Number of the minority individual. (The PHS uses the
Social Security Number for the purpose of accurate identification, referral,
and review of applications and for efficient management of PHS grant
programs. Although provision of the Social Security Number is voluntary, it
will facilitate the processing of applications for supplements.)
6. A signed statement from the Principal Investigator establishing the
eligibility of the candidate for support under this program including
information on ethnicity, citizenship, and a description of any previous PHS
research grant support the minority individual has received.
7. A proposed budget entered on budget pages from Grant Application Form PHS
398, related to the percent effort (where appropriate) for the research
experience of the candidate during the first and future years. If the initial
budget period requested is less than 12 months, the budget must be prorated
accordingly.
8. 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 must be
provided. Adherence to the NIH policy for including women and minorities in
clinical studies must also be insured if additional human subjects'
involvement is planned for the supplement component.
9. A copy of the most recent official transcript if the minority candidate
is a high school, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate degree, post-master’s
degree, or graduate student.
10. If the candidate is a student at another institution, the application
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 the
students course of studies.
11. 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 candidate, 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:
1. The qualifications of the candidate including career goals, prior research
training, research potential, and any relevant experience.
2. Evidence of educational achievement and interest in science, if the
minority candidate is a student.
3. The plan for the proposed research and career development experiences in
the supplemental request and their relationship to the parent grant.
4. Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the experience will enhance
the research potential, knowledge, and/or skills of the candidate, and that
adequate mentorship will be provided.
5. Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the activities of the
candidate are an integral part of the project.
AWARD CRITERIA
The decision to fund a supplement will take approximately eight weeks from
receipt of a complete application. Applicants for summer-only research
appointments must submit early enough to ensure that funding is 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 continued funding of the parent grant and
cannot extend beyond the current competitive segment of the parent grant and
the availability of funds.
Continuation of support for the candidate in the remaining years of the
competitive segment of the grant will depend upon satisfactory review by the
NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent grant and the
supplemental project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and
the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort.
In non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and budget
for the minority supplement must be clearly delineated from the progress
report and budget for the parent grant. The progress report must include
information about the research and career development activities supported by
the supplement even if support for future years is not requested.
In future competing applications, funds for continuation of support of the
supplemental award will depend on the successful renewal of the parent grant
and will be handled as follows:
o For minority students who have not yet completed their research experience,
funds for the continuation of support must be requested as a research
supplement to ensure continued tracking of the individual supported. The
request for continued support should not be included in the competing
renewal, but instead, should be prepared as a letter with information on
research progress and accomplishments of the minority individual. The request
must be addressed to the program administrator of the parent grant and must
be submitted promptly in anticipation of a renewal award to avoid an
interruption of support. Support to individual students by this mechanism
will be limited to five years. Additional time may be considered, but must be
well justified.
o Funds for the continuation of support for a minority postdoctoral fellow or
a minority investigator must be requested by name in the parent grant
application at the time of renewal and may not be requested as a research
supplement. Minority postdoctoral fellows and investigators are expected to
be fully integrated in the research laboratory when considered for
continuation of support.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS
1. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
The purpose of this program is to provide minority high school students with
an opportunity to obtain a meaningful experience in various aspects of
health-related research to stimulate their interest in careers in biomedical,
behavioral, clinical or social sciences.
ELIGIBILITY
Any minority high school student who is currently enrolled and in good
standing at her or his high school and is interested in biomedical,
behavioral, clinical or social research is encouraged to participate in this
program.
PROVISIONS
This supplement is not to exceed $3,000 per student in direct costs,
including supplies, for a summer experience. A part-time experience during
the regular school year would be reimbursed at the same hourly rate ($6.25).
Equipment may not be purchased using these funds. 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 for at least three months is encouraged during any one
year. This may include a mixture of full-time summer experience and part-
time experience during the school year. Principal Investigators are
encouraged to seek minority 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
This supplemental program provides an opportunity for minority undergraduate
students interested in health-related research to participate in a research
project during the summer months and/or during the school year. This
experience will be separate from any requirement of the regular academic
program.
ELIGIBILITY
The student may be affiliated with either the applicant institution or
another academic institution. Any undergraduate minority student interested
in health-related research is encouraged to participate in this program.
PROVISIONS
The salary for an undergraduate student should be consistent with the
institutional salary policies. Institutional rates for undergraduate salary
that exceeds $8 per hour must be justified. An additional amount of $200 per
month for supplies and travel may also be requested. Equipment may not be
purchased from these funds. Students are expected to devote the 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 these requirements
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 award criteria.
3. POST-BACCALAUREATE AND POST-MASTER’s DEGREE STUDENTS
The objective of this program is intended to provide opportunities for recent
baccalaureate or master’s degree graduates who wish to spend up to two years
engaged in health-related research while applying for graduate or medical
school. The duration of the program is normally one year, but the research
experience can be extended for an additional year if evidence is provided to
show that the candidate is actively pursuing entry into graduate or health
profession school. This program can not be used to provide technical support
to NIH-supported investigators.
ELIGIBILITY
Any recently graduated minority student who has earned a bachelor’s or
master’s degree in a health-related science is eligible for consideration.
Students who plan to attend medical, dental or other professional schools are
encouraged to use this program to gain research experience.
PROVISIONS
The salary for students at the post-baccalaureate and post-master’s degree
levels should be reasonable and consistent with the institutional salary
policies and can not exceed the amount allowed for graduate students.
Additional funds up to $3,000 per year may be requested for supplies and
travel. Funds may not be used to purchase equipment.
4. GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
The objective of this program is to reach out to minority graduate students
already in biomedical, behavioral, clinical or social sciences and provide an
opportunity to further develop their research capabilities. However, students
who are supported on research or training grants may not be supported on
research supplements.
ELIGIBILITY
Any minority graduate student who is enrolled in a master’s or a doctoral
degree program in biomedical, behavioral, clinical or social sciences is
eligible for consideration. Minority students in medical school or other
professional schools are encouraged to use this program to gain research
experience.
PROVISIONS
The NIH will provide salary support in addition to other necessary expenses,
such as supplies and travel, to enable the individual to participate as a
graduate research assistant in funded research projects. As in the past, the
NIH will continue to consider the compensation for the services of graduate
students and other employees rendered to an NIH research project to be
allowable as long as the compensation is reasonable and (1) conforms to the
established, consistently applied salary and wage policies of the institution
and (2) reflects the percentage of time actually devoted to the PHS-funded
project. For graduate students this compensation may include tuition
remission paid as, or in lieu of, wages provided that the student is in a
bona fide employer-employee relationship with the institution for the work
performed, and payment is conditioned explicitly on the performance of
necessary work. The total amount requested for salary, tuition and fringe
benefits can not exceed the amount allowable for a first year postdoctoral
level staff member at the same institution performing comparable work (see
NIH Guide announcement, Vol. 25, No.8, March 15, 1996).
Additional funds up to $4,000 per year may be requested for supplies and
travel. Funds may not be used to purchase equipment.
See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for information about application
procedures, review criteria, and award criteria.
5. INDIVIDUALS IN POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING
These supplements provide research support to permit minority individuals in
the postdoctoral phase of their training to participate in ongoing research
projects. This experience must serve as a means of assisting the
postdoctoral fellow’s development into productive researcher in a health-
related science. Postdoctoral fellows who are supported on research or
training grants may not be supported on research supplements. Toward the end
of the supplement award, candidates should be encouraged to apply for
fellowships, research grants, and other sources of independent support.
ELIGIBILITY
The minority individual in postdoctoral training may be affiliated with
either the applicant institution or some other institution. Only under
extraordinary circumstances, which must be well justified in the application,
would it be acceptable for the postdoctoral candidate to work with his or her
former predoctoral mentor.
PROVISIONS
The NIH will provide support for salary in addition to other necessary
expenses, such as travel and supplies, to enable the minority individual to
participate as a postdoctoral research assistant or associate on the funded
research project. The requested salary and fringe benefits must be in
accordance with the salary structure of the grantee institution, consistent
with the level of effort, and may not exceed $40,000 per year. Additional
funds up to $6,000 may be requested for supplies and travel. Support may not
be used to purchase equipment.
See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for application procedures, review
criteria, and award criteria.
6. INVESTIGATORS DEVELOPING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS
These supplements provide either short or long-term research support for
minority staff or faculty members to enhance their research skills leading to
an independent research career.
o Short-term Minority Investigator Research Supplement. This supplement
provides short-term support for minority staff or faculty members to conduct
full-time research for three to five months each year during the summer or
another portion of the academic year, over a maximum period of four years.
o Long-term Minority Investigator Research Supplement. This supplement
provides long-term research support for minority staff or faculty members to
conduct research in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. Support is
provided for up to four years at a minimum of 30 percent effort during each
12-month period.
ELIGIBILITY
The minority investigator may be affiliated with the applicant institution or
some other institution. The investigator must have a doctoral degree, be
beyond the level of a research trainee, and be a member of the staff or
faculty with at least one year of postdoctoral experience. The minority
candidate is still eligible if they have previously received support from
these programs: the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program,
Minority-Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP), the Minority
Access to Research Career (MARC) Program, Career Opportunities in Research
Education and Training (COR), Small Grants (R03), National Research Service
Award (NRSA) predoctoral (F31) and postdoctoral (F32) fellowships, or the
Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Program (R15) is also eligible for
these supplements. On the other hand, an individual who has received previous
funding from NIH as an independent Principal Investigator on a regular
research grant (e.g., R01, R29), or as the project leader on a component of a
program project or center grant (e.g., P01, P50, G12), or as Principal
Investigator on an individual research career award (e.g., KO1, K02, K07,
K08, and K12) is not eligible.
PROVISIONS
The requested salary and fringe benefits for an investigator must be in
accordance with the salary structure of the grantee institution, consistent
with the level of effort. Additional funds of up to $10,000 may be requested
for supplies and travel. Equipment may not be purchased except in unusual
circumstances and not without prior approval of the NIH awarding component.
The maximum period of support for any investigator is four years.
See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for application procedures, review
criteria, and award criteria.

AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS
The statutory authorities for these grant awards are sections 301, 510, 515,
and 504 of the Public Health Service Act. Federal regulations at 42 CFR Part
52, "Grants for Research Projects" and 45 CFR part 74, "Administration of
Grants," are applicable to these awards. Grants must be administered in
accordance with the NIH Grants Policy Statement (10/98).
The PHS strongly encourages all grant and contract recipients to provide a
smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all tobacco products. In
addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking
in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a facility) in which
regular or routine education, library, day care, health care or early
childhood development services are provided to children. This is consistent
with the PHS mission to protect and advance the physical and mental health of
the American people.
