 NIAID has no firm deadline for research supplement applications. We peer review applications roughly every eight weeks, and reviewers prefer to have applications in advance. Check with NIAID about "soft" deadlines that may affect your application. High school and undergraduate summer interns should submit applications in early spring, no later than April 15.
NIAID senior staff will peer review your application. For an overview of the peer review process and to learn about review criteria so you can create a strong application, read Part 8. Assignment and Review. You'll also find tips on creating a successful PHS 398 grant application.
You'll want to emphasize certain factors in a research supplement
application. Begin by detailing the research candidate's qualifications.
Career goals, previous training and work experience, and (for students)
educational achievement should emphasize the candidate's high potential
in the field of health-related research.
Describe how the research experience will enhance the candidate's skills and knowledge and help him or her achieve career goals. For reentry supplements, candidates should show recent effort to reenter the scientific community, such as reading scientific journals. You should also show that the work will be integral to the project, and illustrate how proposed research and career development activities are relevant to the subject matter of the parent grant. Include a proposed mentoring plan in your application.
