All organizations administering an eligible parent award may apply for a supplement under this announcement.
This announcement is for supplements to existing projects. To be eligible, the parent award must be active and the research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the competitive segment. The proposed supplement must be to provide for an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances. All additional costs must be within the scope of the peer reviewed and approved project.
The direct cost of each supplement award is capped at 80% of the appropriate PGY salary for the requested participant for the duration of support between July 1 and June 30 of the fiscal year in which support is requested, plus associated fringe benefits, plus $2,000 for travel to meetings plus $1,000 for travel to an NINDS R25 workshop. If the participant is simultaneously enrolled in a PHD-granting program, up to $12,800 may also be requested for costs associated with research activities associated with both R25 participation and the degree-granting program.
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 peer reviewed and approved 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.
The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award.For participants who have been supported, but have not completed their research education, during the approved project period, participation may be continued during a no-cost extension period.
