 Unlike
other training and career
awards, research
supplements are not grants.
Supplements are funds added to an existing grant to increase the
participation of scientists from underrepresented
groups in
biomedical research. They also help promising researchers return
to a scientific career.
Any principal
investigator with
at least two years remaining on a grant can apply for this supplementary
funding, which he or she uses to pay salary, fringe benefits, and
research support.
People ranging from high school students through
senior faculty members
who are members of underrepresented
racial and ethnic groups, have physical or mental disabilities,
or have taken a career hiatus (between one and eight years) for
family
obligations
are eligible to be hired through a research supplement.
The following grants are eligible for supplements: R01, R10, R18,
R24, R37, P01, P40, P41, P50, P51, P60, U01, U10, and U54. Some other
small grants may be eligible. Check the links below for specific eligibility requirements and contact your NIAID program officer with questions about your grant.
