NIA: Information on Support for Administrative Supplements Providing Summer Research Experiences for Students and Science Educators (Notice: OD-09-060)
This initiative is one of several initiatives in which NIA is participating to help fulfill the goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to stimulate the economy through support of biomedical and behavioral research. Additional information about the Recovery Act and related NIH opportunities is available through the NIH Office of Extramural Research.
The National Institutes of Health has announced (NOT-OD-09-060) the opportunity for investigators and institutions with active NIH Research Project Grants (and some other categories of award) to request administrative supplements for the purpose of promoting job creation, economic development, and accelerating the pace and achievement of scientific research. These supplements will also encourage students to seriously pursue research careers in the health related sciences, as well as provide elementary, middle school, and high school teachers, community college faculty, and faculty from non-research intensive institutions with short term research experiences in NIH-funded laboratories.
Support for these supplements will come from funds provided to NIH through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“Recovery Act” or “ARRA”), Public Law 111-5.
Full details on how to prepare an application, terms of award, administrative and national policy requirements, and reporting are available in the parent announcement (NOT-OD-09-060).
