About this grant
Current recipients of specific types of NIH research grants may apply for administrative supplements, using this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), to provide additional funding to a currently funded grant to meet increased costs that are within the scope of the peer-reviewed and approved project, but that were unforeseen when the new or competing renewal application was awarded. Applications for administrative supplements are considered prior approval requests (as described in Section 8.1.2.11 of the NIH Grants Policy Statement) and will be routed directly to the Grants Management Officer of the parent award. There is no guarantee that funds are available from the awarding IC or for any specific grant. Therefore, prior to submission, applicants must discuss potential requests with the awarding ICO grants and program officials.
Who can apply, from the official notice
Other Eligible Applicants: Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; U.S. Territory or Possession; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Regional Organizations; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations). Reminder: This NOFO supports administrative supplements to existing projects. To be eligible, the parent award must be active (i.e., not in a co-cost extension), and the research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the competitive segment. The proposed supplement must be to provide for an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances. All additional costs must be within the scope of the peer reviewed and approved project. IMPORTANT: The research proposed in the supplement application must be within the peer-reviewed scope of the NIH-supported grant project. Foreign Organizations/International Collaborations: All activities with foreign institutions must align with existing parent award. NIH will no longer issue awards (new, renewal, or non-competing continuation) to domestic or foreign entities that involve foreign subawards/subcontracts. All NIH-funded research involving foreign subawards/subcontracts must be submitted in response to a NOFO that is specifically designated for funded international collaborations. This new requirement was effective, May 1, 2025. Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant and will not be considered for funding. This policy applies to all monetary international collaborations resulting in foreign subawards/subcontracts, however, it does not preclude unfunded international collaborations or foreign components, funding for foreign consultants, or procurement of unique equipment or supplies from foreign vendors.

Biomedical Research and Research Training
Program number 93.859 (the federal Assistance Listing number) · U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health · Project grant
How applications are judged
All accepted applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate initial review group and by a national advisory council.
The goal of NIGMS funding policies is to maximize the scientific impact of investments in investigator-initiated biomedical research to drive fundamental scientific discoveries that advance understanding of human health and disease. To address this goal, the Institute strives to support a broad portfolio of research grants of high scientific and technical merit, as determined by peer review, in its mission areas.
However, in deciding to fund any application, NIGMS staff also considers other factors, including (consistent with applicable law):
the breadth of the Institute�s research portfolio; approaches, and investigators;
the total amount of funding available to the investigator;
the priority of the research area for the Institute�s mission;
Early-stage investigator status;
At-risk investigator status?;?
and whether the PI would have more than one NIGMS funded R01 (including multi-PI R01s).
Because these factors are considered, NIGMS does not have a �payline� or strict cutoff in scores that it will fund.
It is important to understand that even applications with outstanding scores might not be funded if the investigator already has substantial other support.
Because NIGMS prioritizes funding for meritorious investigators who otherwise would not have support over providing additional grants to already well-funded...
