Administrative Supplements to Recognize Excellence in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are seeking applications to support administrative supplements to existing NIH awards to support scientists who have demonstrated compelling commitments and contributions to mentorship and enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the biomedical sciences.

The parent award must have an existing mentoring component. This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) focuses on allowing mentors who have dedicated their time and effort and made significant contributions to DEIA to further their personal research and/or mentoring activities.

Application Due Date – February 17, 2023 by 5:00 pm local time of applicant organization. 

For funding consideration, applicants must include “NOT-OD-23-002” (without quotation marks) in the Agency Routing Identifier field (box 4B) of the SF424 R&R form. Applications without this information in box 4B will not be considered for this initiative.

The Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity (COSWD) Office intends to commit up to $18 million for this program in FY2023 contingent upon NIH appropriations.

The application budget should not exceed $250,000 in direct costs per year for one or two years and should not exceed the direct costs of the parent grant. Applicable F&A (indirect) costs can also be requested. Supplement awards may provide support above the established FOA budget limits.
Earliest start date: July/August 2023.
