UPDATE: For consideration in FY25, applicants are strongly encouraged to submit supplement requests by April 18, 2025.

We’re accepting applications for administrative supplements through PA-20-272, Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional), and any subsequent reissuances. Requests must be within the scope of the approved grant award and must be in response to something that was unanticipated when the competing application was submitted. In addition, the award to be supplemented must be active and cannot be in a no-cost extension.

NIGMS is offering administrative supplements for equipment to select NIGMS-funded research projects or center/core facilities (NOT-GM-24-021). We welcome requests for single equipment systems that will advance the funded research of the parent project. Eligible investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss potential requests with the program officer of their parent award before submitting an application. The application deadline is February 15, 2024.

UPDATE: The video from this webinar is now available.

We’re pleased to announce the availability of administrative supplements to Institutional Development Award (IDeA) U54, P20, and P30 grants for team science projects (NOT-GM-24-001). The supplements are intended for projects that bring together two to four investigators from IDeA states with different scientific expertise to address complex basic, behavioral, clinical, and/or translational research questions through complementary approaches. The questions shouldn’t duplicate those that researchers are currently pursuing through the parent awards and should clearly benefit from the collective efforts of the collaboration.

We’re pleased to announce the availability of administrative supplements to develop cloud-based biomedical data science training modules (NOT-GM-24-006). The supplements are available to NIGMS awardees of the following programs:

• Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE)
• Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH)
• NIGMS institutional training (T34, T32) grants
• Research education (R25) grants that support undergraduate, graduate student, or postdoctoral trainees

We’re pleased to announce the availability of administrative supplements to Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Networks for Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR) (U54) grants to advance the use of electronic health records (EHR) for clinical and observational research (NOT-GM-23-035). Applications are due May 15.

Submissions may propose activities in one or more of the following areas:

We’re pleased to announce the availability of administrative supplements to Institutional Development Award (IDeA) grants for team science projects (NOT-GM-23-034). The supplements are intended for projects that bring together two or more investigators from IDeA states with different expertise to address complex basic, behavioral, clinical, and/or translational research questions through complementary approaches. The questions shouldn’t duplicate those that researchers are currently pursuing through the parent awards and should clearly benefit from the collective efforts of the collaboration.

Applications are due June 1, 2023.

We’re offering another round of administrative supplements to provide summer research experiences to undergraduate students. The research experiences can be conducted remotely or in person, depending on the institutional regulations of the applicant organization. The supplements are open to all NIGMS-funded investigators with active R01, R35, and R37 awards, including those in their final year of funding. We’ll accept requests under PA-20-272, Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements.

To continue our efforts to modernize biomedical research training and career development, we invite eligible institutions with NIGMS training (T32, T34), certain research education (R25), or institutional career development (K12) awards to apply for administrative supplements to develop and implement curricular, training, or administrative activities to enhance:

• Laboratory safety curriculum and a culture of safety in biomedical research training environments (NOT-GM-22-010)
• Safe and inclusive biomedical research training environments (NOT-GM-22-011)
• Undergraduate biomedical research training (NOT-GM-22-012) (T34 and R25 undergraduate programs only)
• Program evaluation capacity (NOT-GM-22-013)
• Mentoring in the research training environment (NOT-GM-22-014)
• Wellness and resilience (NOT-GM-22-015)

NIGMS is accepting diversity supplement applications to support master’s degree students who are planning to apply to Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. programs. This opportunity is part of our Diversity Supplements Program, which facilitates the recruitment and training of promising scientists from diverse backgrounds (including individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce). The broader goal of this program is to enhance the diversity of the biomedical research enterprise.

The duration of supplement support is normally 1 year but can be extended for up to 1 additional year, for a total of 24 months. Program directors (PDs)/principal investigators (PIs) with active NIGMS research grants, program project grants, center grants, or cooperative agreements are eligible to apply if there are at least 12 months remaining on the grant.

UPDATE: The first bullet under the R01, R35, and R37 heading has been expanded to indicate the supplement can’t exceed the direct costs of the parent award.

We’re offering administrative supplements for equipment to select NIGMS-funded research projects, resources, centers, and core facilities. Funds are intended for the purchase of needed equipment that will enhance user access to the resource and/or the impact of the parent grant. The application deadline is March 1.

R01, R35, and R37 grantees:

• Funds are available for the purchase of single equipment systems with requested direct costs up to $250,000, as long as it doesn't exceed the direct costs of the parent award.
