Opportunity Summary:
PA-15-005 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) administrative supplement funding opportunity from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). It is not a stand-alone grant program meant to start a new project. Instead, it exists specifically to provide additional, limited funding to organizations that already hold an active, eligible parent award under PAR-12-085, titled NIBIB Research Education Programs for Residents and Clinical Fellows. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to help current awardees keep their approved research education activities on track when unexpected, legitimate cost increases arise during the life of the existing award.
The funding instrument is a grant and the activity area falls under health, aligned with CFDA number 93.286 (Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a non-federal share as a condition of receiving the supplement. The opportunity was posted and created on October 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 15, 2017, and it was archived on April 15, 2017, meaning it is no longer active for new submissions after those dates.
Eligibility is tied directly to the existence of a qualifying parent award. The eligible applicants are essentially any organizations that administer an eligible, currently active award made under the PAR-12-085 program. Because this is an administrative supplement announcement, it only applies to supplements to existing projects, not to new proposals. The parent award must be active at the time of submission, and the work proposed in the supplement must be completed within the current competitive segment of that parent award, meaning it has to fit within the remaining approved project period rather than extending beyond it.
A central requirement of this supplement mechanism is that the additional funding request must address an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances. The supplement is meant to cover unexpected needs that arise during implementation, not to expand the project into new aims or directions. NIH emphasizes that all requested costs must remain within the scope of the originally peer-reviewed and approved project. Stated plainly, the supplement cannot be used to change what was originally approved; it can only support the already-approved effort when new, unanticipated costs make it difficult to complete the planned activities as intended. The announcement highlights this scope limitation as an important condition: the research proposed by the grantee in the supplement application must remain within the original scope of the NIH-supported grant project.
Administratively, the NIH provides a public link to the full announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-005.html, which is where detailed instructions, required forms, and any NIH-specific submission expectations would be described. For technical access issues, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, intended for difficulties accessing or linking to the electronic announcement rather than for programmatic questions about scientific or budgetary fit.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, time-limited pathway for existing NIBIB resident and clinical fellow research education awardees to request extra funds when unexpected costs arise, so long as the request stays tightly aligned with the previously reviewed and approved scope and can be completed within the current award segment.
