Fogarty ARRA Supplement Opportunities:
Fogarty ARRA Supplements Providing Summer Research Experiences for Students and Science Educators:
Please note that Fogarty will NOT be making any COMPETING administrative supplements as part of its ARRA funding initiatives.
Process:
Supplement applications for Summer Research Experiences for Students and Science Educators must be submitted by May 1, 2009 for review in May with awards being issued as soon as possible afterwards.
All other supplement applications must be submitted by June 1, 2009 for review in late June or July. Awards are expected to be made in August and September.
FIC will arrange the review of each eligible application by appropriate NIH scientific and technical experts with experience in global health who have no conflict of interest with the proposal. Applications will be reviewed based on the specific criteria provided in the detailed instructions for each topic, in addition to the general ARRA goals to accelerate the tempo of scientific research and allow for U.S. job creation and retention.
In order to ensure that all expenditures requested by administrative supplements advance the objectives of the Recovery Act, all applications must provide ARRA justification, including how the supplement is expected to stimulate the U.S. economy by:
- enabling hiring of additional staff;
- enabling increased hours of current part-time staff;
- procuring additional needed equipment;
- and/or contracting for additional needed skills.
The results from review will be provided to the FIC Director for final funding decisions. Awards will be selected on the basis of the merit of the proposal, its applicability to the goals of the ARRA, geographic distribution and the availability of funds.
Applicants should be aware that the ARRA supplement awards will include special quarterly reporting requirements.
