Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH), offered an administrative supplement opportunity titled "Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)" under funding opportunity number PA-14-027. The main purpose of this program was to provide additional, targeted funding to existing NIH-supported projects so investigators could expand or add work that directly examines sex/gender differences or similarities, or more broadly explores how sex and gender as biological and social variables influence health and disease. The program was open to a wide range of study types, including preclinical, clinical, and behavioral research, as long as the proposed supplement work stayed clearly connected to the parent award and strengthened the scientific focus on sex/gender considerations.
The scientific emphasis was on research that could clarify how sex- and gender-related factors shape human health and illness across the full translational spectrum. ORWH highlighted particular interest in studies that dig into molecular, cellular, and systems biology mechanisms underlying disease and pathophysiology, as well as work that addresses how diseases may differ in clinical presentation between sexes/genders and how prevention strategies or treatments might need to be tailored accordingly. In practical terms, the supplement could support adding sex as a variable in analyses, powering a study to detect sex-based effects, integrating sex/gender-informed measures into an ongoing protocol, or extending mechanistic work to explain observed differences. A key requirement was that the supplement proposal align with at least one objective under Goals 1 through 3 of the NIH Strategic Plan for Womens Health Research, signaling that projects needed to fit within NIH-wide priorities for advancing womens health research and integrating sex and gender considerations into biomedical science.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant supplement mechanism rather than a standalone new grant competition, with an expected number of awards around 50 and an estimated total funding level of about $5,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on December 11, 2013, and closed on February 6, 2014, with an archive date of March 9, 2014. The activity category listing was broad (including areas such as education, environment, food and nutrition, health, income security, and social services), reflecting the wide range of NIH research domains where sex/gender variables can be relevant rather than restricting the topic to a single disease area.
Eligibility was expansive and included many U.S.-based organizational types typically eligible for NIH funding. Eligible applicants included state, county, and municipal governments; special district governments; tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly recognized a variety of mission-focused and underserved-serving institutions and entities, including 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions were not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy were not allowed.
The opportunity spanned many NIH program areas, as reflected in the long list of CFDA numbers tied to institutes and centers covering environmental health, oral health, deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse, minority health and health disparities, cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, blood disorders, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience, allergy and infectious diseases, child health and human development, aging, vision, and more. This breadth underscores the program's central message: sex and gender considerations matter across nearly every area of health research, and NIH sought to accelerate progress by helping active projects incorporate these factors more rigorously and systematically.

FAQs: NIH ORWH Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (PA-14-027)
What is the PA-14-027 opportunity?
PA-14-027 is an NIH administrative supplement opportunity from the Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) titled "Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)." It provided additional, targeted funding to expand existing NIH-supported projects with work that directly examines sex/gender differences or similarities, or more broadly explores sex and gender as biological and social variables in health and disease.
Is this a new standalone grant, or a supplement to an existing award?
This was a discretionary administrative supplement mechanism, not a standalone new grant competition. The supplement work had to remain clearly connected to (and build on) an existing NIH-supported parent award.
What was the main purpose of this supplement program?
The program aimed to strengthen ongoing NIH-funded research by adding or expanding components that rigorously address sex and gender considerations. The intent was to accelerate progress in understanding how sex- and gender-related factors shape health and illness across the translational spectrum.
What types of research were supported?
A wide range of study types were within scope, including preclinical, clinical, and behavioral research, as long as the proposed supplement activities were clearly tied to the parent award and sharpened the scientific focus on sex/gender differences or similarities.
What scientific topics did ORWH emphasize?
ORWH highlighted interest in research that clarifies mechanisms (molecular, cellular, and systems biology) underlying disease and pathophysiology, as well as studies examining differences in clinical presentation between sexes/genders and how prevention strategies or treatments might need to be tailored accordingly.
What are examples of supplement activities that fit this opportunity?
Examples mentioned include adding sex as a variable in analyses, powering a study to detect sex-based effects, integrating sex/gender-informed measures into an ongoing protocol, and extending mechanistic work to explain observed differences.
Does the supplement work have to be connected to the parent award?
Yes. A key condition was that the proposed supplement activities stay clearly connected to the existing NIH-supported parent project and strengthen its focus on sex/gender considerations.

It also referenced faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies.
Are foreign organizations eligible to apply?
No. The announcement excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions were not eligible, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) were not allowed.
Was the topic limited to a specific disease area?
No. The opportunity was intentionally broad, reflecting that sex and gender variables can be relevant across many NIH research domains rather than focusing on a single disease area.
What NIH areas or programs did this opportunity span?
The announcement referenced a wide range of NIH program areas (via many CFDA numbers), including domains such as environmental health, oral health, communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse, minority health and health disparities, cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, blood disorders, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience, allergy and infectious diseases, child health and human development, aging, and vision, among others.
What does the broad activity category listing imply?
The activity category listing was broad (including areas like education, environment, food and nutrition, health, income security, and social services). This reflects the wide range of NIH research contexts where sex/gender variables may be relevant, rather than restricting the supplement to one narrow topic.
