Call for Applications: NIH Supplemental Funding to Support DEIA Mentorship
URL: https://diversity.nih.gov/sustaining-diversity/deia-mentorship-supplements
OBJECTIVES:
This award will support program directors and principal investigators who have demonstrated compelling commitments and contributions to mentorship and DEIA in the biomedical sciences. Because such efforts are not always appropriately recognized or compensated, this NOSI aims to reach individuals with limited NIH support.
FUNDING INFORMATION:
Applicants may request up to $250,000 in direct costs per year for one or two years, depending on institution type, not to exceed the direct costs of the parent award.
ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:
The following criteria must be met to be eligible for the program:
- Individual PD/PIs must be supported by no more than one institutional award considered an independent NIH grant at the time of application. Support from awards on the “smaller grants” list do not count toward the independent NIH grant award.
- The parent award must have an existing mentoring component. Examples are provided in the “scope” section below.
- Only one request per supported PD/PI will be considered. Only one request per awarded grant will be considered.
- Individuals to be added and supported with funds from this administrative supplement must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the United States or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
- Active awards with project end dates in July 2025 or later are eligible. The award may not be in a terminal no-cost extension or going into a no-cost extension in FY2024.
