Administrative Supplements for NCRR Awards

Program Overview and How to Apply

Investigators and U.S. institutions or organizations with active NIH research grants may request administrative supplements from NCRR for the purpose of accelerating the tempo of scientific research on active grants.

Support for these supplements will come from funds provided to NIH through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009, Public Law 111-5. Consistent with the intent of the Recovery Act, the purpose of this program is to promote job creation and economic development along with accelerating the pace and achievement of scientific research.

Not all NCRR awardees are eligible to apply for Recovery Act-supported administrative supplements. Recovery Act administrative supplements from awards with the following activity codes will not be considered: C06, G20, all K awards, R13, R21, S10 and all T awards.

The NCRR administrative supplement application due date is May 18, 2009. Additional receipt dates will be at the discretion of NCRR.
