Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, PAR 14-115, is an NIH administrative supplement for organizations that already hold a NIDA-supported institutional Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) T32 training grant. The core purpose is to add temporary training capacity by funding additional trainee slots for one to two years, specifically in areas that are critical to NIDA's mission in drug abuse and addiction research. Rather than creating a new training program, the supplement is meant to strengthen an existing, well-performing T32 by allowing it to bring in extra trainees for a limited period.
The program is targeted to T32 training grants with a strong track record. In practical terms, NIDA is looking for programs that consistently fill the training positions they already have and can document successful trainee outcomes. That emphasis signals that these funds are intended to scale up training where there is clear evidence of demand, strong mentoring and training infrastructure, and a history of producing researchers who move successfully into the next stages of biomedical or behavioral research careers relevant to substance use, addiction, and related public health challenges.
Mechanically, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant and falls under education and health activity areas, tied to CFDA 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). Because it is an administrative supplement, it is connected to an active parent award and generally follows NIH supplement conventions: the request expands the scope of the funded training program only in the sense of adding trainee positions, not by launching a wholly separate set of aims. The stated award ceiling is $250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad across government, academic, nonprofit, and some for-profit entities, as long as they are otherwise eligible and, critically, already have the relevant NIDA-supported T32 in place. Eligible applicant types listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and a range of government entities (state, county, city or township, special district, and certain housing authorities). The announcement also clarifies that additional eligible applicants include several institution types and community-serving categories, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. In addition, foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed, which reinforces that the training positions supported through this supplement must be fully domestic.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited NIH opportunity posted on February 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 21, 2014, and an archive date of April 21, 2014. The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, with the program oriented specifically around NIDA priorities. For official details and any procedural requirements that applied at the time, the announcement pointed applicants to the NIH Grants Guide page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-115.html). For access or technical issues with the posting, the contact provided was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster via FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a short-term capacity expansion tool: NIDA used this supplement to quickly increase the number of research trainees supported under proven, high-performing NIDA T32 training programs, concentrating those additional slots in mission-critical areas of drug abuse and addiction research without requiring applicants to build a new training mechanism from scratch.
