Administrative supplement to support SARS-CoV-2/COVID-2019 research by NIH
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering administrative supplement to support SARS-CoV-2/COVID-2019 research. An administrative supplement is a noncompeting award that provides additional funding to a currently funded grant to meet increased costs that are within the scope of the approved project, but that were unforeseen when the new or competing renewal application was awarded.
Requirements for Submitting
- Submit a request for supplemental funding before the awarded grant expires.
- Consult with the NIH grants management officer and program official assigned to your award before submitting a request for an administrative supplement.
- Review the awarding institute and center’s (IC) web site to determine any IC-specific submission deadlines or eligibility criteria before submitting an administrative supplement request.
- Identify an appropriate funding opportunity announcement (FOA) by searching the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts. Using the advanced search feature, use the activity code field and select “Admin Supp”. NIH offers:
- Administrative supplement FOAs for specific programs (such as the Research Supplements to Promote Diversity)
- A parent administrative supplement FOA for requests that do not fall under a specific program.
- Notices of Special Interest that identify an administrative supplement FOA for application submission (remember to check the Related Notices section of the administrative supplement FOAs.)
- Find the application package linked from the FOA.
- Submit administrative supplement requests in one of three ways: directly to the eRA Commons, through Grants.gov (ASSIST, system-to-system solution, Workspace), or on paper. Multi-project applications must be submitted on paper. (Note: per NOT-OD-18-111 NIH is requiring all applications for diversity supplements to be submitted electronically as of January 25, 2018.)
