RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES  

Release Date:  May 14, 1999  

PA NUMBER:  PA-99-104  

P.T.  

National Institutes of Health  

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, 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.  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 research opportunities for 
underrepresented minorities at the career levels 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, U19, 
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), an Exploratory/Developmental Grant 
(R21) or a Small Grant Award (R03) also may apply for a supplement under this 
program. Grantees with support from these mechanisms MUST check with the 
appropriate awarding component before an application for a supplement is 
submitted. An R29 awardee may apply only when the minority candidate is a high 
school, undergraduate, or graduate student.  Awardees of the R03, R15, and R21 
grants 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 
the grant mechanisms such as the R29,  R15, or the R03 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 (usually two years or more). 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 or additional means of supporting minority individuals who already 
receive support from a research grant or a research training grant or any other 
DHHS 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 Center for 
Scientific Review.  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.  The source of current funding should be 
listed.  

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 applications for supplements.)  

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:  

o  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.  

o  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.  

DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS  

1.  HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS  

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 costs, 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 above for information about application 
procedures, review criteria, and funding.  

2.  UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS  

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 and/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  

The salary for an undergraduate student should be consistent with the 
institutional salary policies. Institutional rates for undergraduate salary 
which exceed $6 per hour must be justified.  An additional amount of $125 per 
month for supplies and travel may also be requested. 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 above for information about application 
procedures, review criteria, and funding.  

3.  GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS  

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.  However, students who are 
supported on research or training grants may not be supported on research 
supplements.  

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 or other professional 
schools 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. The 
total amount requested  for salary, tuition and fringe benefits can be up to 
$26,000.  However, 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 (see NIH Guide announcement, Vol 
25, No.8, March 15, 1996).  

Additional funds up to $3,000 per year may be requested for supplies and travel.  
Funds may not be used to purchase equipment.  

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for information about application 
procedures, review criteria, and funding.  

4.  INDIVIDUALS IN POSTDOCTORAL TRAINING  

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.  Postdoctoral fellows who are supported on research or 
training grants may not be supported on research supplements. Toward the end of 
the supplement award, candidates should be encouraged to apply for fellowships, 
research grants, 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 and fringe benefits must be in accordance with the salary 
structure of the grantee institution, consistent with the level of effort, and 
may not exceed $40,000 per year.  Amounts requested above current NRSA stipend 
levels must be justified.  Additional funds up to $6,000 may be requested for 
supplies and travel.  Support may not be used to purchase equipment.  

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for application procedures, review 
criteria, and funding.  

5.  INVESTIGATORS DEVELOPING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH CAREERS  

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 (MBRS) Program, Minority-Research 
Infrastructure Support Program (M-RISP), the Minority Access to Research Career 
(MARC) Program, 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., KO1, K02, K07, K08, and K12) is not eligible.  

PROVISIONS  

The salary limit of $50,000 per year in direct cost for the minority 
investigator supplemental award has been removed.  The requested salary and 
fringe benefits for an investigator must be in accordance with the salary 
structure of the grantee institution, consistent with the level of effort.  
Additional funds of 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.  

See the GENERAL PROVISIONS section above for application procedures, review 
criteria, and funding.
