The mission of the NIH is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems, and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce burdens of illness and disability. The Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) works in partnership with the NIH institutes, centers, and offices to ensure that women’s health and sex/gender differences research is part of the scientific framework.
This FY 2013 Administrative Supplement program is designed to support research that increases understanding of sex and gender differences in health and disease, as part of the implementation of the strategic plan entitled Moving Into The Future With New Dimensions and Strategies: A Vision for 2020 for Women’s Health Research, http://orwh.od.nih.gov/research/strategicplan/index.asp
Women and men are characterized by both sex and gender, as highlighted in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, entitled Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter? (2001). In this context, sex referred to being male or female according to reproductive organs and biologic functions assigned by chromosomal complement. Factors that contribute to biological sex differences include chromosomes, reproduction, and hormones. Gender referred to socially defined and derived expectations and roles rooted in biology and shaped by the environment and experience. Sex and gender are important considerations in many areas of research, including basic biological, psychological, social, and behavioral studies. Consideration of these variables is critical to the accurate interpretation and validation of research findings that affect the various aspects of women’s health and sex/gender differences research and to the development of personalized approaches to medicine. Sex and gender variables may also determine how health and disease processes differ among women, or between women and men, and inform the development and testing of preventive and therapeutic interventions in both sexes.
The 2010 NIH Strategic Plan for Women’s Health and Sex Differences Research, Moving into the Future with New Dimensions and Strategies, includes five research goals to advance women’s health and a number of specific objectives under each of the five goals to which the reader is referred for examples of general areas in which sex/gender differences research is encouraged. These include a broad range of research on sex/gender differences in basic science, incorporation of sex/gender differences in the design of new medical and communication technologies, medical devices and therapeutic drugs; global health research and in the development of approaches to personalized medicine. The proposed research in the supplement needs to clearly demonstrate how the funding will address sex/gender differences. However, the specific examples under the objectives are meant to be illustrative but not restrictive of the kinds of research that could be conducted to fulfill the goal of the administrative supplement. Please see the NIH Strategic Plan, http://orwh.od.nih.gov/research/strategicplan/index.asp
The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives as long as they are within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project in order to take advantage of opportunities that would increase the value of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes.
The research proposed under the administrative supplement program must be within the original scope of the parent grant. Applicants should propose research that, if successful, would contribute to a greater understanding of the implications of sex/gender differences (or similarities) in human health or disease outcomes. Applicants must address how the proposed research supports the goals and objectives of the NIH Strategic Plan for Women’s Health and Sex Differences Research by including a statement at the beginning of the Research Strategy section of the application.
For example, applicants may use the following approaches to address sex/gender comparisons:
Applicants proposing the addition of subjects to Phase III clinical trials will be considered non-responsive.
IC Specific Considerations
Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposed supplement project with the IC Program Officer of the parent grant prior to submission of a supplement application in order to ensure that the supplement content area fits with the scientific priorities of the IC and is within the scope of the parent grant; and to ensure that the parent grant mechanism is one the IC will support for a supplement.
Funding Instrument |
The funding instrument will be the same as the parent award. |
Application Types Allowed |
Non-competing Administrative Supplements |
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards |
The number of awards is contingent upon NIH appropriations and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. ORWH and the participating components intend to commit up to $3.5 million for FY 2013 funding. |
Award Budget |
Application budgets are limited to no more than the amount of the current parent award, and must reflect actual needs of the proposed project. Budget requests may be for no more than $100,000 in total costs. The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the project, or the cost increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes. |
Award Project Period |
The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award. Only active awards with at least 18 months remaining will be considered. Awards in no-cost extension periods are not allowed to submit an application in response to this FOA. |
NIH grants policies as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement will apply to the applications submitted and awards made in response to this FOA.

Upon receipt, applications will be evaluated for completeness by the awarding Institute or Center. Applications that are incomplete and/or nonresponsive will not be reviewed.
Not Applicable.
Administrative Supplements do not receive peer review. Instead, the administrative criteria described below will be considered in the administrative evaluation process.
This process involves an initial selection by each participating NIH institute and center (IC), and a subsequent selection of supplements to be funded from among the highest ranked supplements submitted by all ICs participating in this announcement. An integration panel, with ORWH coordination, will make the final selections. The following general criteria will be used:
Budget and Period of Support
NIH Staff will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Overall Impact
NIH staff will consider the ability of the proposed supplement activities to increase or preserve the parent award’s overall impact within the original scope of award:
In addition, each of the following criteria will be evaluated as applicable for the proposed supplement.
Protections for Human Subjects:
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH
staff will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects
involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional
information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, NIH staff will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
NIH Staff will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
NIH Staff will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Administrative supplement requests will undergo an administrative evaluation by NIH staff, but not a full peer review. Applications submitted for this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding component for the parent award and will be administratively evaluated using the criteria shown above.
After IC review and ranking of supplement applications, ORWH will develop a funding plan with consideration of the following factors:
3. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates
Not Applicable
A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA)
will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications.
This may be as an NoA for the supplemental activities only; alternatively, it
may be as either a revision to the current year NoA or included as part of a
future year NoA. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the
authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business
official.
Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection
of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any
costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These
costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.
Any application awarded in response to this FOA will be subject to the DUNS, SAM
Registration, and Transparency Act requirements as noted on the Award
Conditions and Information for NIH Grants website.
All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities. More information is provided at Award Conditions and Information for NIH Grants.
Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award
Any supplements to Cooperative Agreements will be subject to the same Cooperative Agreement terms and conditions as the parent award.
Reporting requirements will be specified in the terms and conditions of award as applicable to the supplemental activities. In most non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and budget for the parent award. The progress report must include information about the activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is not requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities in the remaining years of the competitive segment of the grant will depend upon satisfactory review by the NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent award and the supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort. This information is submitted with the Non-Competing Grant Progress Report, PHS 2590 or RPPR, and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
We encourage inquiries concerning this funding opportunity and welcome the opportunity to answer questions from potential applicants.
