Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (PA 14 322) is an NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) administrative supplement announcement meant to provide extra funds to support ongoing NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in clinical neuroscience-related specialties. It is not a stand-alone grant program and it does not fund brand-new projects. Instead, it offers additional, one-time support to institutions that already hold an eligible NINDS R25 research education award, when they need added resources to address costs that arise unexpectedly while the parent award is still active.
The purpose of the supplement is to help existing NINDS R25 programs continue meeting their research education goals for residents and fellows in neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, and emergency medicine. In practical terms, this mechanism is designed for situations where an established research education program encounters an unplanned need for additional support, but the work still fits squarely within what NIH already peer reviewed and approved for the parent R25. The supplement is specifically framed as an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances, meaning the request should be justified by a clear explanation of what changed and why the added funds are necessary to carry out the originally approved program activities.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already administering one of three specific NINDS-funded R25 parent awards: (1) NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology and Emergency Medicine (PAR-13-384), (2) NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology and Neuroradiology (RFA-NS-10-002), or (3) NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology and Neurosurgery (RFA-NS-09-001). No other institutions are eligible unless they hold one of these qualifying parent awards. A key requirement is that the parent award must be active at the time of the supplement request, and the proposed supplement activities must be completed within the current competitive segment of that parent grant. In other words, the supplement cannot extend the project beyond its approved project period, and it cannot be used to launch new aims or to fundamentally redirect the program.
The scope limitation is central to this FOA. NIH emphasizes that the work proposed under the supplement must remain within the original scope of the NIH-supported and peer-reviewed project. That means the supplement should support the same general research education purpose, target trainees, and approved program structure already funded under the R25, rather than introducing new education tracks, unrelated research areas, or substantially different activities. The supplement mechanism is essentially a way to keep an approved program on track when unexpected cost pressures arise, not a way to expand the program into new territory.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant supplement under the NIH umbrella, categorized under health and listed under CFDA 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders). The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted on August 13, 2014, and it closed on October 31, 2016, with an archive date of December 1, 2016, indicating it is no longer open for new submissions as written. For historical reference or detailed requirements that applied at the time, the full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site at the provided link.

FAQs: NIH NINDS Administrative Supplement (PA 14-322) for R25 Research Education Programs
What is PA 14-322?
PA 14-322 is an NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) administrative supplement announcement. It was designed to provide additional, one-time funds to support already-funded NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows (R25) in clinical neuroscience-related specialties when unexpected costs arise during an active parent award.
Is this a stand-alone grant that funds new projects?
No. This opportunity is not a stand-alone grant program and it does not fund brand-new projects. It is an administrative supplement meant to add funds to an existing, eligible NINDS R25 research education award.
What is the main purpose of this administrative supplement?
The purpose is to help existing NINDS R25 research education programs continue meeting their approved research education goals for residents and fellows when unplanned circumstances create an increase in costs. The request is expected to explain what changed, why the added costs were unforeseen, and why extra funds are needed to carry out the originally approved activities.
Who is this supplement intended to support (trainee audience)?
The supplement is framed around supporting research education goals for residents and fellows in clinical neuroscience-related specialties, specifically including neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, and emergency medicine, as described for the existing NINDS R25 programs referenced in the announcement.
Which organizations are eligible to apply?
Eligibility is limited to organizations that already administer one of the specific NINDS-funded R25 parent awards named in the announcement. No other institutions are eligible unless they hold one of these qualifying parent awards.
Which parent awards qualify an institution for eligibility?
The announcement restricts eligibility to current awardees of one of these NINDS R25 parent programs:
- NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology and Emergency Medicine (PAR-13-384)
- NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology and Neuroradiology (RFA-NS-10-002)
- NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows in Neurology and Neurosurgery (RFA-NS-09-001)
Does the parent R25 award need to be active?
Yes. A key requirement is that the parent award must be active at the time the supplement request is submitted.
Can the supplement extend the project period of the parent award?
No. The supplement activities must be completed within the current competitive segment of the parent R25 award. The supplement cannot extend the project beyond its approved project period.
Can the supplement be used to add new aims or redirect the program?
No. The proposed supplement work must remain within the original scope of the NIH-supported, peer-reviewed, and approved parent R25 project. It cannot be used to launch new aims, fundamentally redirect the program, or expand into substantially different activities.
What does "within the original scope" mean in this announcement?
In this context, "within scope" means the supplement should continue supporting the same general research education purpose, the same target trainees, and the approved program structure already funded under the parent R25. It is intended to keep the existing program on track, not to create new education tracks, unrelated research areas, or a substantially different program.
What kind of situation is this supplement designed for?
It is specifically framed as a response to an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances during an active parent award. The supplement is meant for unplanned needs for additional support that still fit squarely within what NIH already peer reviewed and approved for the parent R25.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
How is this opportunity categorized by the government?
