NIAID's ARRA Administrative Supplements

FY 2010 deadline is April 16, 2010.

At NIAID, we consider eligible applications for ARRA administrative supplements that propose research in any of our areas of interest. Find more information in the NIH Guide notice NOT-OD-09-056.

We also accept applications for summer intern supplements. See Summer Interns for more information.

Note: FY 2010 supplements are for one year only.

Our approach for ARRA administrative supplements differs somewhat from the one NIH spelled out in the Guidenotice. Be sure to read NIAID Supplements Through the Economic Recovery Act.

ctive NIAID-funded domestic grants are eligible for supplemental funding using Recovery Act funds except training grants (T), fellowships (F), and construction grants.

ARRA administrative supplements have the following provisos:

• Supplements must create and save jobs, jump-start the economy, or build the foundation for long-term economic growth.
• Research funded by the supplement must be within the scope of the parent grant’s approved activities and aims.
• For items other than equipment, supplement proposals must fit within the parent grant's scope of research.
• We will allow few ARRA administrative supplements during a no-cost extension.
• If your grant is in a no-cost extension, it has to be active at the time of the supplement.
• The parent award must have work remaining to be done.
• A no-cost extension will not be processed earlier than 90 days before the end of your project. A decision to extend the final budget period must be made close to the grant's expiration date and after you know the actual need for additional time to complete the approved research.
