Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Administrative Supplements for Complementary Health Practitioner Research Experience (Admin Supp)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-16-013) is a National Institutes of Health initiative administered through the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is offered as a discretionary grant in the health funding category (CFDA 93.213) and is designed specifically as an administrative supplement, meaning it adds targeted funds onto an existing, already-funded NCCIH-supported parent award rather than supporting a brand-new standalone research project.
The core purpose of this supplement is to expand research capacity in complementary and integrative health by giving complementary health practitioners a structured, intensive, and supervised clinical research experience embedded within the ongoing work of the parent grant. The intent is practical and hands-on: the supported practitioner should come away with a clearer understanding of how complementary and integrative health research is designed and conducted, including real exposure to clinical research workflows, oversight, and implementation. The program explicitly frames this as a research experience that strengthens research literacy and skills among clinicians who practice in complementary health disciplines.
In terms of who the research experience is meant for, the opportunity focuses on complementary health practitioners functioning as clinicians. NCCIH provides examples to clarify the target group, including licensed acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopathic medicine practitioners, and massage therapists, while also indicating this list is not exhaustive. The expectation is that these practitioners will participate in clinical research activities that are directly connected to, and consistent with, the scientific aims and scope of the parent program that is already supported by NCCIH.
Funding is provided for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating the supplement is meant to support a defined, time-limited experience rather than a multi-year training pipeline. The work supported under this supplement must be tied to the parent grant's clinical research, so the supplement dollars are essentially meant to help incorporate the practitioner into that ongoing clinical research environment in a meaningful way, rather than funding an unrelated side project.
A key boundary of the program is that it is not a clinical training or residency mechanism. NCCIH is clear that the supplement is intended to support research experience for complementary health practitioners, not clinical residency training or other forms of clinical practitioner training. In practice, that means the primary outcome should be increased research competence and direct involvement in research activities, rather than completion of clinical hours, credentialing requirements, or other professional clinical training milestones.
Eligibility for applicants is broad and reflects typical NIH eligibility categories, including state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as allowed in NIH eligibility guidance. Because this is an administrative supplement, practical eligibility also hinges on the existence of an active, eligible NCCIH-supported parent award to which the supplement would attach.
Administratively, the opportunity was created and posted on October 26, 2015, and the listed closing date in the source information is September 1, 2018. The sponsoring agency is NIH (listed as HHS-NIH11). Even though the dates in the provided listing reflect that specific cycle, the summary above captures what the program is aimed at doing: using supplemental funds to place complementary health clinicians into intensive supervised clinical research roles within NCCIH-funded projects to build real-world research experience in complementary and integrative health.
