Section VIII. Other Information
The National Library of Medicine, in conjunction with NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) named above, announces an Administrative Supplement opportunity available to eligible NIH awardees with active R01 grants and, in some cases, with other research grant mechanisms, or with active center and cooperative agreement grants (see details in the Activity Code listing of which ICs will accept applications for these other mechanisms).
These administrative supplements provide funds to supported research and center grants in order to enhance the storage, organization, management and use of electronic research data through the involvement of informationists, also known as in-context information specialists.
The purposes of this administrative supplement program are (1) to enhance collaborative, multi-disciplinary basic and clinical research by integrating an information specialist into the research team in order to improve the capture, storage, organization, management, integration, presentation and dissemination of biomedical research data; and (2) to assess and document the value and impact of the informationist’s participation.
New strategies are required to reap benefits of the rich and complex digital information streams that flow through settings of clinical care, biomedical research, health administration and health professions education. In addition, poor management of research data can lead to research errors. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) believes that clinical, translational and biomedical research can be improved by the active involvement of informationists. Informationists are information specialists, usually health sciences librarians, who have graduate training and practical experience that provides them with disciplinary background in biomedical, behavioral or biological sciences and in library and information sciences/informatics. Their cross training provides informationists with a unique perspective on the acquisition, synthesis, management and use of information in research. Informationists work as team members with research scientists and health professionals, and are sometimes called in-context or embedded information specialists for that reason.
The informationist brings highly specialized information science and knowledge management expertise to a research project, covering topics such as (but not limited to) critical appraisal and preparation of systematic reviews, assessing user needs, identifying research data archives, indexing and classification, data curation, knowledge mapping, information retrieval and visualization, integrating knowledge resources into the Electronic Health Record, and measuring impact of research. Often, the importance of research data management is overlooked in research projects, and the valuable contributions of information experts to research projects are not well documented. An informationist can help clinicians or biologists select and master approaches for data management, define parameters of a data management strategy, assist with coordination and collaboration for team science, evaluate outcomes and impact, and coordinate required submissions, such as those for PubMed Central and Clinical Trials.gov or research data repositories.
The NLM Administrative Supplement for Informationist program is designed to provide researchers with specialized information expertise for a purpose that is in scope for their funded research. Recipients will be expected to report annually on the work accomplished under the supplement and the value it added to the project outcomes.
Characterizing and documenting the value that information expertise brings to research is a fundamental goal of this supplement. A plan for assessing the value added by the informationist should be part of the application for this administrative supplement.
Administrative Supplements supported by this program are expected to improve the way information is captured, stored and managed; to improve the ability to integrate the project’s data with other research data streams; to make it easier to share data with colleagues or publishers, to meet required public deposit guidelines, and other similar purposes.
In addition, the focus is on applying the expertise of informationists to the organization, integration, management and use of biomedical research data, and documenting the value of their involvement..
Funding Instrument |
The funding instrument will be the same as the parent award. Grant: A support mechanism providing money, property, or both to an eligible entity to carry out an approved project or activity. Cooperative Agreement: A support mechanism used when there will be substantial Federal scientific or programmatic involvement. Substantial involvement means that, after award, NIH scientific or program staff will assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities. |
Application Types Allowed |
Non-competing Administrative Supplements |
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards |
The number of awards is contingent upon NIH appropriations and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Approximately five (5) administrative supplement awards are anticipated in FY 2014. |
Award Budget |
Total direct costs requested for the supplement may not exceed $25,000 per year. The costs requested may not exceed $50,000 in direct costs over a two-year period and must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the project, or the cost increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes. |
Award Project Period |
The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award. |
NIH grants policies as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement will apply to the applications submitted and awards made in response to this FOA.

Not Applicable
Administrative Supplements do not receive peer review. Instead, the administrative criteria described below will be considered in the administrative evaluation process.
The staff of the NIH awarding component will evaluate requests for a supplement to determine its overall merit. The following general criteria will be used:
Budget and Period of Support
NIH Staff will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Overall Impact
NIH staff will consider the ability of the proposed supplement activities to increase or preserve the parent award’s overall impact within the original scope of award:
Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved? Will it provide evidence of the value of informationist services to research?
Relevance: Does the proposed project meet the goals of the supplement program?
Approach: Does the proposed project include appropriate design, methodologic, analytic/evaluative, and outcome considerations for the informationist's involvement and for impact assessment?
Quality: How will the proposed project add value to the research outcome of the parent project?
Feasibility: Can the proposed project be conducted within the timeframe proposed?
In addition, each of the following criteria will be evaluated as applicable for the proposed supplement.
Protections for Human Subjects:
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH
staff will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects
involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional
information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Guidelines
for the Review of Human Subjects.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, NIH staff will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Inclusion in Clinical Research.
Vertebrate Animals
NIH Staff will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
NIH Staff will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Administrative supplement requests will undergo an
administrative evaluation by NIH staff, but not a full peer review. Applications
submitted for this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding component
for the parent award and will be administratively evaluated using the criteria
shown above.
Not Applicable
A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA)
will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications.
This may be as an NoA for the supplemental activities only; alternatively, it
may be as either a revision to the current year NoA or included as part of a
future year NoA. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the
authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business
official.
Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection
of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any
costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These
costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.
Any application awarded in response to this FOA will be subject to the DUNS, SAM
Registration, and Transparency Act requirements as noted on the Award
Conditions and Information for NIH Grants website.
All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.
Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award
Any supplements to Cooperative Agreements will be subject to the same Cooperative Agreement terms and conditions as the parent award.
Reporting requirements will be specified in the terms and conditions of award as applicable to the supplemental activities. In most non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and budget for the parent award. The progress report must include information about the activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is not requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities 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 award and the supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort. This information is submitted with the Non-Competing Grant Progress Report, PHS 2590 or RPPR, and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
We encourage inquiries concerning this funding opportunity and welcome the opportunity to answer questions from potential applicants.
