BACKGROUND

 

During 1987 and 1988, the Director of the National Institutes of

Health (NIH) and the Advisory Committee to the Director (ACD) held a

series of regional meetings throughout the United States.  At these

meetings, testimony was presented by concerned individuals and

organizations regarding the underrepresentation of minorities in

biomedical and behavioral research.  Although the NIH currently

provides opportunities for minorities through the traditional

research grant programs and through special initiatives supported by

various components of the NIH (see APPENDIX for listing), the

testimony indicated that efforts of the NIH should be increased.  In

addition, the NIH recognizes the need to increase the number of

underrepresented minority scientists participating in biomedical and

behavioral research.

 

In response to these concerns, the NIH is emphasizing the use of

administrative supplements to attract underrepresented minorities

into biomedical and behavioral research.  The mechanisms described in

this announcement have been endorsed by all the awarding components

of the NIH and are designed to provide support for research

experiences at grantee institutions for minorities throughout the

continuum from high school to the faculty level.

 

The NIH hereby notifies all Principal Investigators holding NIH

research grants that funds are available for administrative

supplements to existing grants for the support and recruitment of

underrepresented minority investigators and students.  The aim of

these supplements is to attract and encourage minority individuals to

enter and pursue biomedical and behavioral research careers in areas

within the missions of all the awarding components of the NIH by

providing supplemental funds to certain ongoing research grants (see

the Eligibility section under GENERAL PROVISIONS).

 

For the purpose of this announcement, underrepresented minority

students and investigators are defined as individuals belonging to a

particular ethnic or racial group that has been determined by the

grantee institution to be underrepresented in biomedical or

behavioral research.  Awards will be limited to citizens or non-

citizen nationals of the United States or to individuals who have

been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (i.e., in possession

of an Alien Registration Receipt Card) at the time of application.

In awarding supplements, the NIH will give priority to projects

involving African American (Black), Hispanic American, Native

American and Alaskan Natives, and Pacific Islander or other ethnic or

racial group members who have been found to be underrepresented in

biomedical or behavioral research nationally.  Before submitting an

application for a research supplement, applicants are encouraged to

call their program administrator at the NIH to discuss any aspects of

this program that need clarification.

 

The NIH anticipates, that by providing scientific opportunities such

as those listed below the number of minorities entering and remaining

in biomedical research careers will increase.

 

o  MINORITY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: This program will support minority

high school students who have expressed an interest in biomedical or

behavioral sciences.

 

o  MINORITY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: This program will support

minority undergraduate students who have demonstrated an interest in

biomedical or behavioral sciences and wish to pursue graduate level

training in these areas.

 

o  MINORITY GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS: This program will provide

support to assist minority predoctoral students who wish to develop

research capabilities in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

 

o  MINORITY INDIVIDUALS IN POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING: This program will

provide support for minority individuals who wish to participate as

postdoctoral researchers in ongoing research projects in preparation

for independent careers in biomedical or behavioral research.

 

o  MINORITY INVESTIGATORS: This program will provide short- and

long-term opportunities for minority staff and faculty who wish to

participate in ongoing research projects while further developing

their own independent research potential.

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

In all cases, the proposed research experience must be an integral

part of the approved ongoing research of the parent grant.  As part

of this research experience, the minority individual must be given

the opportunity to interact with individuals on the parent grant, to

contribute intellectually to the research, and to enhance  her/his

research skills and knowledge regarding the particular area of

biomedical science.  Furthermore, the Principal Investigator must

demonstrate a willingness and understanding that the purpose of the

award is to enhance the research capability of the minority student

or faculty member and that the research experience is intended to

provide opportunities for minority individuals to develop as

independent, competitive research investigators.  Supplemental awards

will be consistent with the goal of strengthening the existing

research program and with the overall programmatic balance and

priorities of the funding component of the NIH.  Awards will be made

according to the policies and provisions stated in this announcement

or as further specified by the NIH component funding the parent

grant.

 

Applicants are encouraged to contact the NIH institute staff listed

under INQUIRIES prior to submission to obtain specific information

about preparing and submitting an application.  It is also recognized

that individual circumstances vary, and for unusual situations, NIH

program administrators should be consulted for a determination of

eligibility.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Principal Investigators at domestic institutions who hold an active

R01, R10, R18, R22, R24, R35, R37, P01, P20, P30, P40, P41, P50, P51,

P60, U01, U10, U41, or U42 grant are generally eligible to submit a

request for an administrative supplement to the awarding component of

the parent grant for any of the supplemental programs offered here.

Principal Investigators holding an active First Independent Research

Support and Transition (FIRST) Award (R29), an Academic Research

Enhancement Award (R15) or a Small Grant Award (R03) also may apply

for a supplement under this program.  An R29 awardee may apply only

when the minority candidate is a high school, undergraduate, or

graduate student.  An R15 awardee or an R03 awardee may apply only

when the minority candidate is a high school or an undergraduate

student.  However, exceptions to these rules may be made.  Applicants

should check with their awarding component.  Minority supplements to

R29, R15 and R03 awards may provide support above the established

dollar limits.  The P20, P30 and P60 award mechanisms are eligible

for  supplements only when they contain research components.

 

In all cases, the parent grant must have support remaining for a

reasonable period at the time of a supplemental award.  Principal

Investigators are encouraged to submit an application no later than

three months before the anniversary date of the last two years

remaining on the parent grant.  The purpose of the application is to

request support for an underrepresented minority high school student,

undergraduate student, graduate research assistant, individual in

postdoctoral training, or a staff or faculty member to participate in

an ongoing research project.  Specific eligibility requirements

relative to each type of award are set forth in the description of

the individual supplement programs (below).

 

Usually, each parent grant may support only one minority supplement.

Appointment of more than one individual to a single grant  depends on

the nature of the parent grant, the circumstances of the request, and

the program balance of the NIH awarding component.  Minority

individuals may receive support from only one of these supplement

programs at a time, but may be supported by more than one minority

supplement during the development of their research careers.  Support

under the supplement programs is not transferable to another

individual or transportable to another institution.

 

The minority supplement programs have been designed to attract

underrepresented minority individuals into research careers and are

not intended to provide an alternative means of supporting minority

individuals who already receive support from a research grant or a

research training grant or any other PHS funding mechanism.  Minority

graduate students or individuals in postdoctoral training who are

supported by a National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional

research training grant may not be transferred to supplemental

support prior to the completion of their appointed period of

training. Individuals may not be transferred to a minority supplement

to increase the availability of funds  to the parent grant for any

other uses.

 

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

 

A request for a supplement may be submitted at any time. In making

requests, the grantee institution, on behalf of the Principal

Investigator of the parent grant and in cooperation with the minority

individual, must submit the request for supplemental funds directly

to the awarding component that supports the parent grant.  The

request  should not  be submitted to the NIH Division of Research

Grants.  Principal Investigators are encouraged to obtain the address

for submission from the NIH program administrator on the parent

grant.

 

The request for a supplemental award must include the following:

 

1.  A completed face page (with appropriate signatures) from grant

application form PHS 398.  Include the title and grant number of the

parent grant on line 1 and the type of supplement being requested on

line 2.

 

2.  A brief three to four page description, prepared by the Principal

Investigator of the parent grant, that includes:

 

a.  a summary or abstract of the funded grant or project.

 

b.  a description of the research experience proposed for the

minority individual.

 

c.  a description of how the research experience will expand and

foster the independent research  capabilities of the minority

individual, and how the proposed experience relates to the specific

research goals and objectives of the parent grant.

 

3.  A signed statement from the minority individual outlining

her/his research objectives and career goals.

 

4.  A biographical sketch of the minority individual that includes

evidence of scientific achievement or interest.

 

5.  Social security number of the minority individual. (The PHS uses

the Social Security Number for the purpose of accurate

identification, referral, and review of applications and for

efficient management of PHS grant programs.  Although provision of

the Social Security Number is voluntary, it will facilitate the

processing of your request.)

 

6  A signed statement from the Principal Investigator establishing

the eligibility of the minority individual for support under this

program including information on ethnicity, citizenship, and a

description of any previous PHS research grant support the minority

individual has received.

 

7.  A proposed budget entered on budget pages from grant application

form PHS 398, related to the percent effort (where appropriate) for

the research experience of the minority individual during the first

and future years.  If the initial budget period requested is less

than 12 months, the budget must be prorated accordingly.

 

8.  Documentation, if applicable, that the proposed research

experience was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use

Committee (IACUC) or human subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB)

of the grantee institution must be provided.  Adherence to the NIH

policy for including women and minorities in clinical studies must

also be insured if additional human subjects' involvement is planned

for the supplement component.

 

9.  A copy of the most recent official transcript, if the minority

candidate is a high school, undergraduate, or graduate student.

 

10.  If the minority individual is a student at another institution,

the application  must include an appropriately signed letter from a

responsible official at the institution of matriculation indicating

that participation at the stated level of effort is approved and will

not detract from or interfere with the students course of studies.

 

11.  If any of the research is to be conducted at a site other than

the grantee institution, an appropriately signed letter from the

institution where the research is to be conducted  must be submitted.

 

The request must be signed by the minority individual, the Principal

Investigator, and the appropriate institutional business official.

 

REVIEW CRITERIA

 

The staff of the particular awarding component will review requests

for supplements using the following general criteria:

 

1.  The qualifications of the minority individual including career

goals, prior research training, research potential and any relevant

experience.

 

2.  Evidence of educational achievement and interest in science, if

the minority candidate is a student.

 

3.  The plan for the proposed research experience in the supplemental

request and its relationship to the parent grant.

 

4.  Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the experience will

enhance the research potential, knowledge and/or skills of the

minority individual, and that adequate mentorship will be provided.

 

5.  Evidence from the Principal Investigator that the activities of

the minority individual are an integral part of the project.

 

FUNDING

 

The decision to fund a supplement  will take approximately eight

weeks from  receipt of a complete application.  Applicants for

summer-only research appointments must submit early enough to ensure

that funding is in place by the time the summer experience is

scheduled to begin.  In most cases, during the first budget period,

funds will be provided as an administrative supplement to the parent

grant.  In subsequent years, continued funding for the supplement is

contingent on continued funding of the parent grant and cannot extend

beyond the current competitive segment of the parent grant and the

availability of funds.

 

 Continuation of support for the minority individual 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 grant and the supplemental project, the research

proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness of the

proposed budget  for the proposed effort.

 

In non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and

budget for the minority supplement must be clearly delineated from

the progress report and budget for the parent grant.  The progress

report must include information about the research activities

supported by the supplement, even if support for future years is not

requested.

 

In future competing applications, funds for continuation of support

of the minority individual will depend on the successful renewal of

the parent grant and will be handled as follows:

 

For minority students who have not yet completed their research

experience, funds for the continuation of support must be requested

as a research supplement to ensure continued tracking of the

individual supported.  The request for continued support should not

be included in the competing renewal, but instead, should be prepared

as a letter with information on research progress and accomplishments

of the minority individual.  The request must be addressed to the

program administrator of the parent grant and must be submitted

promptly in anticipation of a renewal award to avoid an interruption

of support.  Support to individual students by this mechanism will be

limited to five years.  Additional time may be considered, but must

be well justified.

 

Funds for the continuation of support for a minority postdoctoral

fellow or a minority investigator must be requested by name in the

parent grant application at the time of renewal and may not be

requested as a research supplement.  Minority postdoctoral fellows

and investigators are expected to be fully integrated in the research

laboratory when considered for continuation of support.

 

A Statement of Appointment form (PHS 2271, rev. 1/95), which will be

provided by the NIH awarding component, must be completed and sent to

the awarding component whenever an individual is appointed to a

Research Supplement for Underrepresented Minorities.  In addition,

the Statement of Appointment Form must be completed and submitted

each time an individual is reappointed in a new budget period and

whenever the name or permanent mailing address of the appointed

individual changes.

 

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS

 

1.  RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS

 

DESCRIPTION

 

The purpose of this program is to provide minority high school

students an opportunity to obtain a meaningful experience in various

aspects of health-related research to stimulate their interest in

careers in biomedical or behavioral science.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Any minority high school student who is currently enrolled and in

good standing at  her or his high school and is interested in

biomedical or behavioral research is encouraged to participate in

this program.

 

PROVISIONS

 

This supplement is not to exceed $2,000 per student in direct cost,

including supplies, for a summer experience.  A part-time experience

during the regular school year would be reimbursed at the same hourly

rate.  Equipment may not be purchased using these funds. Students are

expected to devote sufficient effort to the research project and

related activities during the period of support to gain insight into

the process of scientific discovery.  Support for at least three

months is encouraged during any one year, which may include a mixture

of full-time summer experience and part-time experience during the

school year.  Principal Investigators are encouraged to seek minority

high school students who will devote at least two years to this

program (i.e., equivalent to two three-month, full-time periods).

Exceptions to the latter will be considered, depending on the

circumstances of the applicant, the parent grant, and the specific

request.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section for information about application

procedures, review criteria, and funding.

 

2.  RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY UNDERGRADUATE

STUDENTS

 

DESCRIPTION

 

This supplemental program provides an opportunity for minority

undergraduate students interested in biomedical or behavioral

research to participate in a research project at a research

institution during the summer months or during the school year.  This

experience will be separate from any requirement of the regular

academic program.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

The student may be affiliated with either the applicant institution

or another academic institution.  Any undergraduate minority student

interested in biomedical or behavioral research is encouraged to

participate in this program.

 

PROVISIONS

 

This supplement  generally should not exceed $6.00 per hour for

salary plus $125 per month for supplies and travel.  Institutional

rates for undergraduate salary which exceed $6.00 per hour must be

strongly justified.  Equipment may not be purchased from these funds.

Students are expected to devote the equivalent of at least three

months full-time effort to the research project and related

activities in any one year and, in most cases, the period of support

for any individual should last at least two years.  Exceptions to

these requirements will be considered, depending on the circumstances

of the applicant, the parent grant, and the specific request.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section for information about application

procedures, review criteria, and funding.

 

3.  RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY GRADUATE

RESEARCH ASSISTANTS

 

DESCRIPTION

 

The objective of this program is to reach out to minority graduate

students already in biomedical and behavioral sciences and provide an

opportunity to further develop their research capabilities.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

Any minority graduate student who is enrolled in a masters or a

doctoral degree program in biomedical or behavioral sciences is

eligible for consideration.  Students enrolled in a masters degree

program in nursing sciences or social work may also be eligible.

Minority students in medical school are encouraged to use this

program to gain research experience.

 

PROVISIONS

 

The NIH will provide salary support in addition to other necessary

expenses, such as supplies and travel, to enable the individual to

participate as a graduate research assistant in funded research

projects.  As in the past, the NIH will continue to consider the

compensation for the personal services of graduate students and other

employees rendered to an NIH research project to be allowable as long

as the compensation is reasonable and (1) conforms to the

established, consistently applied salary and wage policies of the

institution and (2) reflects the percentage of time actually devoted

to the PHS-funded project.  For graduate students this compensation

may include tuition remission paid as, or in lieu of, wages provided

that, the student is in a bona fide employer-employee relationship

with the institution for the work performed, and payment is

conditioned explicitly on the performance of necessary work.

Reasonable compensation for graduate students must not exceed the

amount allowable for a first year postdoctoral level staff member, at

the same institution, performing comparable work.  Additional funds

up to $3000 per year may be requested for supplies and travel.  Funds

may not be used to purchase equipment.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section for information about application

procedures, review criteria, and funding.

 

4.  RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY INDIVIDUALS IN

POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING

 

DESCRIPTION

 

These supplements provide research support to permit minority

individuals in the postdoctoral phase of their training to

participate in ongoing research projects as a means of assisting them

in their development into independent biomedical or behavioral

researchers.  Toward the end of the supplement award, candidates

should be encouraged to apply for fellowships, FIRST awards, and

other sources of independent support.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

The minority individual in postdoctoral training may be affiliated

with either the applicant institution or some other institution.

Only under extraordinary circumstances, which must be well justified

in the application, would it be acceptable for the postdoctoral

candidate to work with his or her former predoctoral mentor.

 

PROVISIONS

 

The NIH will provide support for  salary in addition to other

necessary expenses, such as travel and supplies, to enable the

minority individual to participate as a postdoctoral research

assistant or associate on the funded research project.  The requested

salary must be in accordance with the salary structure of the grantee

institution and consistent with the level of effort.  Additional

funds, up to $6000, may be requested for supplies and travel.

Support may not be used to purchase equipment.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section for application procedures, review

criteria and funding.

 

5.  RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY INVESTIGATORS

 

DESCRIPTION

 

These supplements provide either short- or long-term research support

for minority staff or faculty members to enhance their research

skills leading to an independent research career.

 

o  Short-term Minority Investigator Research Supplement.  This

supplement provides short-term support for minority staff or faculty

members to conduct full-time research for three to five months each

year during the summer or another portion of the academic year, over

a maximum period of four years.

 

o  Long-term Minority Investigator Research Supplement.  This

supplement provides long-term research support for minority staff or

faculty members to conduct research in the biomedical or behavioral

sciences.  Support is provided for up to four years at a minimum of

30 percent effort during each 12-month period.

 

ELIGIBILITY

 

The minority investigator may be affiliated with the applicant

institution or some other institution.  The investigator must have a

doctoral degree, be beyond the level of a research trainee and be a

member of the staff or faculty with at least one year of postdoctoral

experience.  The minority individuals are still eligible if they have

previously received support from these programs: the Minority

Biomedical Research Support Program (MBRS), Minority - Research

Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP), the Minority Access to

Research Career Program (MARC), Career Opportunities in Research

Education and Training (COR), small grants (R03), National Research

Service Award (NRSA) predoctoral (F31) and postdoctoral (F32)

fellowships, or the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA)

Program (R15) is also eligible for these supplements.  On the other

hand, an individual who has received previous funding from NIH as an

independent Principal Investigator on a regular research grant (e.g.,

R01, R29), or as the project leader on a component of a program

project or center grant (e.g., P01, P50, G12), or as Principal

Investigator on an individual research career award (e.g., K01, K02,

K05, K07, K08, K11, K14, K15, K20, and K21) is not eligible.

 

PROVISIONS

 

The minority investigator supplemental award is for a maximum of

$50,000 in direct costs per year.  A maximum of $40,000 may be

requested for salary and fringe benefits; additional funds up to

$10,000 may be requested for supplies and travel.  Equipment may not

be purchased except in unusual circumstances and not without prior

approval of the NIH awarding component.  The maximum period of

support for any investigator is four years.

 

The amount of salary requested must be consistent with the policies

of the parent grantee institution (if applicable, the minority

investigator's employing institution) and must be related to the

percent effort of the minority investigator.

 

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section for application procedures, review

criteria, and funding.

AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS

 

The statutory authorities for these grant awards are sections 301,

510, 515, and 504 of the Public Health Service Act.  Federal
