Opportunity Summary:
Administrative Supplements for Human Islet Research (Admin Supp), funding opportunity number PA 15 025, is an NIH grant supplement program run through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The purpose is narrowly focused: it provides administrative supplement funding to help current, eligible NIH-supported projects cover unexpected or increased costs tied specifically to obtaining human islets through the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP). In practical terms, it is meant to keep already-funded human islet research on track when IIDP-related pricing or cost burdens rise, rather than to launch entirely new projects or create a separate standalone research award.
The mechanism is an administrative supplement, which means the request is typically connected to an existing grant rather than submitted as an independent full application competing in the usual way with new research proposals. NIDDK indicates that requests will be reviewed and funded on a case-by-case basis, and that awards depend on demonstrated need and a clear justification. That framing signals that applicants should be prepared to explain why current funds are insufficient, how the added IIDP islet costs affect the approved scope of work, and how the requested supplement amount directly supports completion of the originally approved aims without inappropriate expansion beyond what the parent award supports.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses the grant funding instrument, and is associated with the NIH CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). It sits within a health-related activity category (listed as Food and Nutrition Health in the source data), consistent with NIDDKs broader mission areas that include diabetes research, where human islets are a critical resource for many studies. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the supplement.
In terms of scale, the listed award ceiling is $100,000, which provides a sense of the maximum supplement amount anticipated under this announcement. Actual amounts can vary because NIDDK states decisions are made case by case; the ceiling does not guarantee that any particular request will be funded at that level. The core expectation is that the budget request is driven by the documented IIDP-related cost increase and is reasonable for the work that remains under the parent project.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organizational types across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories as specified), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. It also includes public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations, and additional 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, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions (AANAPISIs). Faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal government agencies are also included. Notably, non-U.S. entities are eligible as well: foreign organizations and foreign institutions can apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy. That said, because this is an administrative supplement tied to existing funding, practical eligibility also depends on having an appropriate active parent award that can receive an administrative supplement and on meeting NIH and NIDDK-specific supplement rules.
The posting and lifecycle dates indicate this was a time-limited opportunity. It was posted on October 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 15, 2015, and an archive date of November 15, 2015. Those dates matter for historical reference and for understanding that the announcement, as listed, has closed and been archived, even though the general concept of administrative supplements may continue under other notices or programs in different years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Administrative Supplements for Human Islet Research (Admin Supp) opportunity?
Administrative Supplements for Human Islet Research (Admin Supp) is an NIH administrative supplement opportunity run through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). It is associated with funding opportunity number PA 15 025 and is designed to provide additional funds to support human islet research when costs increase.
What is the main purpose of this administrative supplement?
The purpose is narrowly focused: it provides administrative supplement funding to help current, eligible NIH-supported projects cover unexpected or increased costs tied specifically to obtaining human islets through the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP). It is intended to keep already-funded human islet research on track when IIDP-related pricing or cost burdens rise.
Does this funding support brand-new research projects?
No. This opportunity is intended to support an existing, eligible NIH-funded project by addressing increased IIDP-related human islet costs. It is not described as a standalone award meant to launch an entirely new research project.
What kind of funding mechanism is used?
The mechanism is an administrative supplement, meaning the request is typically connected to an existing grant (a parent award) rather than submitted as an independent full application competing with new research proposals in the usual way.

This supplement program is run through NIDDK (the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases).
What costs is this supplement meant to cover?
The supplement is meant to cover unexpected or increased costs specifically tied to obtaining human islets through the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP). The framing emphasizes IIDP-related pricing or cost burdens that affect the ability to complete the already-approved work under the parent award.
How are funding decisions made for this opportunity?
NIDDK indicates that requests will be reviewed and funded on a case-by-case basis. Awards depend on demonstrated need and a clear justification showing why current funds are insufficient and how the requested supplement directly supports completion of the originally approved aims.
What does “case-by-case” review imply for applicants?
Based on the description provided, applicants should be prepared to justify (1) why existing funds cannot absorb the IIDP-related cost increase, (2) how the increased IIDP islet costs affect the approved scope of work, and (3) how the supplement amount requested supports completing the parent award’s originally approved aims without inappropriate expansion beyond what the parent award supports.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the supplement.
What is the maximum award amount listed for this supplement?
The listed award ceiling is $100,000. This is presented as the maximum supplement amount anticipated under the announcement, but it does not guarantee that a particular request will be funded at that level.
Does the $100,000 ceiling guarantee the amount an applicant will receive?

Faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal government agencies are also included.
Are foreign (non-U.S.) organizations eligible?
Yes. The information provided states that foreign organizations and foreign institutions can apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy.
Does broad organizational eligibility mean any organization can apply without other conditions?
Not necessarily. Because this is an administrative supplement tied to existing NIH funding, practical eligibility also depends on having an appropriate active parent award that can receive an administrative supplement and on meeting NIH and NIDDK-specific supplement rules.
What is the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP) in this context?
In this opportunity, IIDP is identified as the program through which human islets are obtained, and the supplement is specifically intended to address unexpected or increased costs associated with obtaining human islets through IIDP.
Is this opportunity still open?
