National Institutes of Health
PURPOSE
The President"s Task Force on Women, Minorities, and the Handicapped in
Science and Technology has documented a very low participation rate for
Americans with disabilities in the science and engineering work force. To
address this problem for the biomedical and behavioral research workforce,
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its 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 the NIH will offer
supplemental awards to certain ongoing research grants to encourage
individuals with disabilities to pursue biomedical, behavioral, clinical or
social science research careers. It is hoped that the availability of support
for research experiences at several different stages in a research career
will substantially increase the number of individuals with disabilities in
the health-related sciences. The NIH hereby notifies principal Investigators
holding certain NIH research grants of the availability of funds for
administrative supplements to existing grants for the support and recruitment
of scientists and students with disabilities into research careers. In
addition, this program will provide support to accommodate the disabilities
of established investigators who become disabled.
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.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
RESEARCH GRANTS ELIGIBLE FOR SUPPLEMENTAL 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 grants
are 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 active 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 R03, R15, and R21 grants may apply only when the candidate with a
disability is a high school or an undergraduate student. However, exceptions
to these rules may be made. Applicants should check with their awarding
component. Supplements to grant mechanisms such as the R15, and R03 awards
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, the parent grant must have support remaining for a reasonable
period at the time of a supplemental award (usually two years or more).
Usually, each parent grant may have only one supplement for a person with a
disability. 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 awarding component. Supplemental awards under these
programs do not preclude a separate supplement to support an underrepresented
minority.
CANDIDATES ELIGIBLE FOR SUPPORT: Supplemental awards are available to support
individuals with disabilities who have demonstrated an aptitude and interest
in the health-related sciences. Although additional eligibility information
is provided later in the announcement, individuals with disability in each of
the following career levels are generally considered eligible:
o HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
o UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN HEALTH-RELATED SCIENCES.
o POST-BACCALAUREATE AND POST-MASTER’s DEGREE STUDENTS WHO WISH TO PURSUE
(ADDITIONAL) GRADUATE LEVEL TRAINING IN THE HEALTH-RELATED SCIENCES.
o GRADUATE STUDENTS IN HEALTH-RELATED DEGREE PROGRAMS.
o INDIVIDUALS IN POSTDOCTORAL HEALTH-RELATED RESEARCH TRAINING.
o INVESTIGATORS DEVELOPING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS IN THE HEALTH-RELATED
SCIENCES.
o ESTABLISHED INVESTIGATORS WHO BECOME DISABLED. This program will provide
additional support for established NIH 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 goals of the parent grant.
Because this program differs in substantial ways from the other supplemental
awards listed here, it is described in a separate section below.
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 individuals with disabilities into research careers and are not
intended to provide an alternative means of supporting disabled individuals
who already receive support from a research grant or a research training
grant or any other DHHS funding mechanism. Graduate students or 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.
Individuals may not be transferred to supplemental support simply to increase
the availability of funds to the parent grant for any other uses.
DEFINITION OF DISABILITY: For the purpose of this announcement, the
definition of disability in the Americans with Disabilities Act will be used.
An individual with a disability is one who has a physical or mental
impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Qualified individuals with disabilities are those who, with reasonable
accommodation for their disability, are capable of entering a research career
after appropriate experience and training. A list of disabilities that might
confer eligibility for supplemental awards under this program includes, but
is not limited to, the following: total deafness in both ears, visual acuity
less than 20/200 with corrective lenses, speech impairment, missing
extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, convulsive disorders,
mental or emotional illness, learning disabilities, kidney dialysis, and
severe distortion of limbs and/or spine. In all cases, individuals supported
under this supplement program must, with reasonable assistance, be able to
contribute to the research supported by the parent grant.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
The research experiences supported under this program must be an integral
part of the approved, ongoing research of the parent grant for all of the
supplemental programs listed above. Also, with the exception of the
supplemental program for Established Investigators Who Become Disabled,
individuals with disabilities must be given the opportunity to interact with
individuals on the parent grant and to contribute intellectually to the
research, and to enhance his/her research skills and knowledge. 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 productive, 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. Awards will be made according to the
policies and provisions stated in this announcement. 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. Applicants are encouraged to contact the NIH
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 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 a disability 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.

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 a disability, 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
Center for Scientific Review. Principal Investigators are encouraged to
obtain the address for submission from the NIH program administrator of 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 experience proposed for the candidate.
c. A description of how the research experience will expand and foster the
training or independent research capabilities of the candidate and how the
research experience will relate to the specific research goals and objectives
of the parent grant.
3. A signed statement from the candidate with a disability outlining his/her
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 should be
listed.
5. Social Security Number of the candidate. (The PHS requests the Social
Security Number for the purpose of accurate identification, referral, review,
and 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 citizenship, and a description of any previous PHS research
grant support the candidate has received. 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 candidate to undertake the proposed
research experience. Also, the institution must indicate its contribution to
aid accommodation of the candidate to the research environment.
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 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.
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 candidate is a high
school, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, post-master’s or graduate student.
10. If the candidate 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.
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, 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. The plan for the proposed research experience in the supplemental request
and its relationship to the parent grant.
3. 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.
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 will be an integral part of the project.
6. 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.
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 be 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 continued funding of
the parent grant and cannot extend beyond the current competitive segment of
the parent grant and availability of funds.
Continuation of support for the candidate in the remaining years of the
competitive segment of the grant will depend upon a satisfactory review by
the NIH 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 for the proposed effort.
In non-competing applications, the progress report and budget for the
candidate must be clearly delineated from the progress report and budget 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 support of the
candidate will depend on the successful renewal of the parent grant and will
be handled as follows:
o For 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 candidate. 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 postdoctoral fellow or an
investigator with a disability must be requested by name in the parent grant
application at the time of renewal and may not be requested as a research
supplement. 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 high school students with
disabilities 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 a disability who is enrolled in good
standing at a local high school and is interested in the health-related
sciences is encouraged to participate in this program.
PROVISIONS
This supplement is not to exceed $3,000 in direct costs, including supplies,
during a summer research experience. A part-time experience during the
regular school year would be reimbursed at the same hourly rate ($6.25).
Funds over and above this $3,000 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 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 award criteria.
2. UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
This supplemental program provides an opportunity for any qualified
undergraduate student with a disability, who is interested in biomedical,
behavioral, clinical or social science research, to participate in a research
project at a research institution during the summer months and/or during the
school year. This experience will be separate and apart from any requirement
of the regular academic program.
ELIGIBILITY
The student may be affiliated with either the applicant institution or any
other academic institution. Any qualified undergraduate student with a
disability who is 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 salaries
that exceed $8 per hour must be justified. An additional amount of $200 per
month for supplies and travel may also be requested. 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 accommodating the disabilities of the
student. In all cases, equipment may only be purchased with prior approval
of the NIH 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 award criteria.
3. POST-BACCALAUREATE AND POST-MASTER’s DEGREE STUDENTS
The objective of this program is intended to provide opportunities for recent
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 is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the candidate and
is not viewed as a source of additional technical support for NIH-supported
investigators.
ELIGIBILITY
Any student with a disability who has recently earned a bachelor or master’s
degree in the health-related sciences 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 postbaccalaureate and postmaster 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 STUDENTS
The objective of this program is to offer additional encouragement to
graduate students with disabilities who have the potential to become
researchers in the health-related sciences and give them an opportunity to
develop further their research capability. Students who are supported on
research or training grants may not be supported on research supplements.
ELIGIBILITY
Any graduate student with a disability who is enrolled in a master’s or a
doctoral degree program in biomedical, behavioral, clinical or social
sciences is eligible for consideration.
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 personal 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
institutions 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
benefit must 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. Funds may also 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
accommodating the disabilities of the student. In all cases, equipment may
only be purchased after obtaining approval from the NIH awarding component.
See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for information about application
procedures, review criteria, and award criteria.
5. INDIVIDUALS IN POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING
These supplements provide support to individuals with disabilities in the
postdoctoral phase of training to participate in ongoing research projects
that will assist in the development of a career in health-related research.
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 individual in postdoctoral training may be affiliated with either the
applicant institution or any other institution. Only under extraordinary
circumstances, that must be well justified in the application, would it be
acceptable for the candidate to continue working with his/her former
predoctoral mentor.
PROVISIONS
Support will be provided for a salary in addition to other necessary
expenses, such as supplies and travel, to enable the individual to
participate as a postdoctoral research assistant in funded research projects.
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. Funds may also 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
accommodating the disabilities of the individual. In all cases, equipment may
only be purchased with prior approval of the NIH awarding component.
See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for information about application
procedures, review criteria, and award criteria.
6. INVESTIGATORS DEVELOPING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS
These supplements provide either short or long-term research support for
staff or faculty members with disabilities to enhance their research skills
leading to an independent research career.
o Short-term Investigator Research Supplement. This supplement provides
short-term support for 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 Investigator Research Supplement. This supplement provides
long-term research support for staff or faculty members to conduct research
in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical or social sciences. Support is
provided for up to four years at a minimum of 30 percent effort during each
12-month period.
ELIGIBILITY
The investigator with a disability may be affiliated with either the
applicant institution or another institution. The investigator must have a
doctoral degree, be beyond the level of a research trainee, be a member of
the staff or faculty, and have at least one year of postdoctoral experience.
The investigator may have received prior research or research training
support from the NIH or support under the Minority Biomedical Research
Support (MBRS) Program, Minority-Research Infrastructure Support Program (M-
RISP), Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program, Career
Opportunities in Research Education and Training (COR), Small Grants (R03),
or Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Program. However, an individual
who has received independent research support as a Principal Investigator on
an individual research grant (e.g., R01, R29), or as a project leader on a
program project or center grant (e.g., P01, P50), or as a Principal
Investigator on an individual research career award (e.g., K01, K02, K07,
K08, and K12) is not eligible for support under this program.
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. Funds 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 investigator. In all cases, equipment may only be
purchased after obtaining approval from 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.
7. SUPPLEMENTS FOR ESTABLISHED INVESTIGATORS WHO BECOME DISABLED
Established investigators on NIH research, program project, or center grants
who become disabled during the current project period may request funds for
special accommodations to permit completion of the currently funded research
project.
ELIGIBILITY
Any currently funded Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator or other
senior staff (hereinafter referred to as Established Investigator) on an NIH
research project grant, program project grant, or center grant may request
support for special equipment, an assistant, or other modifications to
facilitate accommodation to a disabling injury or illness that has occurred
during the current project period.
PROVISIONS
Support will be limited to items that will permit the investigator to
complete the remaining years of a currently funded research project. This
might include: salary support for an individual who can assist the
Established Investigator in meeting the goals of the research project,
specialized equipment such as computers, or modifications of the working
environment. In all cases, the requested support must be consistent with the
type of disability and the nature of the approved research. The total amount
of support requested under this supplement must be reasonable in relationship
to the direct costs of the parent award and the Established Investigator"s
role and effort on the project. In future competing applications, funds for
continuation of the accommodations provided under this supplement must be
requested in the parent grant application and may NOT be requested as a
research supplement.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
A request for a supplement may be submitted at any time. In making requests,
the grantee institution, on behalf of the Established Investigator, must
submit the request for supplemental funds directly to the awarding component
that supports the parent grant. The request must include the following:
o A completed face page from Grant Application Form PHS 398 with the title
and grant number of the parent grant and a statement that specifies which
type of supplement is being requested.

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.
