Administrative Supplements | Grants & Funding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Administrative Supplements Administrative supplements are designed to provide extra funding to currently funded NIH grants. They can help address unforeseen costs that arise during the course of the project, ensuring that the research can continue effectively. What is an Administrative Supplement?
An administrative supplement (Type 3) is a request for additional funds during a current project period to provide for an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances. All additional costs must be within the current scope of the peer reviewed and approved project and the activities must not extend beyond the term of the current award. Administrative supplements do not require peer review.
Administrative supplements may be used to support a variety of unanticipated circumstances, including but not limited to Full or part-time mentored research training experiences for individuals with high potential to reenter, reintegrate into, or retrain in an active research career Retention of investigators facing critical life events who are transitioning from mentored career development awards to research independence and to minimize departures from biomedical research workforce Replace critical resources lost due to severe weather or natural disaster Salary and training expenses to augment clinical research studies with unexpected necessary expertise Replacing broken or antiquated equipment Third party replication of research findings that are within the parent award Tool validation optimization and/or dissemination Data preparation and curation to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reuseable (FAIR), enhance interoperability, facilitate sharing and re-use Augmentation as required by IRB or IACUC to ensure the safety and welfare of study participants Increasing study participation by increasing recruitment and enrollment and deploying strategies to target essential but difficult to reach study populations Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) funds for NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) to help small businesses identify and address their most pressing product development needs A change in scope is a change in the direction, aims, objectives, purposes, or type of research training identified in the approved project.
Costs associated with a change in scope need to be peer reviewed. Administrative supplements are not peer reviewed.
Potential indicators of a change in scope include Change in the specific aims approved at the time of award Change from non-human subject research to research involving human subjects Substitution of one animal model for another Shift of the research emphasis from one disease area to another Application of a new technology (e.g. changing assays, equipment) for peer reviewed studies Supplement predoctoral and postdoctoral stipends/salaries (applies to both NRSA and non-NRSA awards) Add, delete, or change the Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs) listed on the current award Restore awards up to full scientific review group (SRG) recommended level if the SRG level was administratively reduced by the awarding institute or center Fund costs that have already been incurred Administrative Supplement Parent Announcement The Administrative Supplement Parent Announcement is used for the submission of all administrative supplement applications.
The existing parent award must be active The project and budget periods of the supplement must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award Administrative supplements are not permitted during a no-cost extension and will be considered only in rare situations (e.g., public health emergency declaration, or natural disaster) Due dates for administrative supplement applications may vary by awarding institute or center Prior to submission reach out to the grants management and program officials assigned to the current award Visit the NIH Institute, Center, and Office (ICO) Funding Considerations for Administrative Supplements page for ICO-specific information (e.g., due dates) Administrative Supplements follow a similar application process as competing applications, but are handled a bit differently after submission Submit your application in response to the Administrative Supplement Parent Announcement Access, prepare, and submit application forms using your chosen submission option (ASSIST, institutional system-to-system solution, Grants.

Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) is sponsored by National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program funds grants for innovative educational programs that create partnerships among biomedical and clinical researchers and K-12 teachers and schools, museums and science centers, media experts, and other educational organizations. The program aims to improve STEM literacy through innovative P-12 and informal science education. Projects can be classroom-based or informal science education projects in venues such as science centers, museums, and libraries.
Social disconnection and Suicide Risk in Late Life (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH). This funding opportunity is a companion to the R21 mechanism and also aims to stimulate research to understand the link between social disconnection and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. It focuses on identifying mechanisms by which social disconnection confers risk for, and social integration protects against, suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. This R01 mechanism is appropriate for applications with preliminary data.
Accelerating Solutions to Improve Access and Quality of Empirically-Supported Practices for Youth Mental Health (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) / NIH. This funding opportunity encourages research focused on optimizing and testing school-based mental and behavioral health interventions and service delivery models. It seeks applications that will study methods to increase access to evidence-based interventions and services for youth mental health, particularly in under-resourced areas. Research areas include optimizing assessment, intervention and service strategies, overcoming workforce shortages, and integrating preventive interventions into settings like schools.
NIH's 271% year-over-year jump in early-cycle multiyear awards — 601 grants worth $402M obligated by mid-May 2026 vs. 162 grants and $79M at the same point in 2025 — is shrinking the pool available for new R01s, R21s, and K-awards. The FY2027 budget request asks Congress to make the practice the default. Researchers need to model the squeeze, not assume it away.
Read articleNIH NOT-OD-26-046 retired the 2023 narrative DMSP format on May 25, 2026, replacing it with a structured checklist. Researchers writing R01s and other extramural applications need to update their templates immediately.
Read articleNIH obligated $402M to multiyear grants in the first half of FY2026 versus $79M at the same point in FY2025. The shift starves the current-year pool, slashes new awards, and forces labs into bridge funding most universities cannot provide.
