Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PA 13 018, titled "Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)," offered administrative supplement funding to support additional research work on existing NIH-supported projects. The main goal was to strengthen and expand studies that examine how sex and/or gender differences (or, in some cases, similarities) affect human health outcomes. NIH emphasized that these supplements could be used across a wide range of research types, including behavioral research, clinical studies, and preclinical work, as long as the proposed activities focused clearly on sex/gender as a meaningful biological and/or social variable relevant to health and disease.
The research scope was intentionally broad and designed to fit many disease areas and scientific approaches. NIH highlighted interest in studies that improve understanding of how sex/gender influences the pathophysiology of disease (how diseases develop and function in the body), differences in clinical presentation (how symptoms appear and are recognized), and variation in prevention strategies or treatment responses. In practical terms, this could include supplement-supported analyses of existing datasets for sex-stratified outcomes, additional recruitment to ensure adequate representation for sex-based comparisons, lab experiments designed to probe mechanistic differences, or other add-on activities that strengthen conclusions about sex/gender impacts within the parent grant.
A key expectation was alignment with the NIH Strategic Plan for Womens Health and Sex Differences Research. Applicants were expected to connect the supplement aims to the objectives in that strategic plan, effectively showing how the added work would advance womens health research and/or the broader scientific understanding of sex differences. Because this is an administrative supplement mechanism, the work needed to remain within the scientific scope of the active parent award, while adding a focused and justifiable component that directly addresses sex/gender considerations.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary grant opportunity with an estimated total funding amount of $3.5 million and an award ceiling of $100,000 per supplement. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on November 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of January 11, 2013, and an archive date of February 11, 2013. The listing also reflected NIH-wide relevance by including many CFDA program numbers spanning major NIH institutes and centers and covering topics such as environmental health, mental health, substance use, cancer, cardiovascular and lung diseases, diabetes and kidney disease, neuroscience, infectious diseases, child health, aging, vision research, translational science, nursing research, minority health and health disparities, and the NIH Office of Research on Womens Health.
Eligibility was extensive and included many common applicant types across the research and public sector landscape. Eligible applicants included for-profit organizations (including small businesses), nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), private and public institutions of higher education, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district governments, and certain housing authorities). The opportunity also explicitly welcomed applications from a wide range of mission-driven and capacity-building institutions and organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, along with faith-based and community-based organizations where relevant.
Importantly, non-U.S. entities were also eligible. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions could apply, and U.S. organizations with non-domestic components were eligible as well. NIH noted a specific compliance-related condition for projects involving foreign institutions or foreign components: applicants needed clearance for shipping biological samples across international borders prior to making an administrative supplement award, reflecting NIH policy requirements for biospecimen movement and related oversight.
Overall, this opportunity was designed to quickly add targeted, high-impact work onto active NIH projects to improve how biomedical and behavioral research accounts for sex and gender. The core idea was to accelerate progress toward more precise, evidence-based understanding of disease risk, clinical outcomes, and treatment effectiveness by ensuring that sex/gender differences are directly investigated rather than treated as an afterthought. For full details, NIH directed applicants to the official announcement page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-018.html) and provided NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contacts for access or technical linking issues.
FAQs: NIH PA-13-018 - Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)
What is NIH PA-13-018?
PA-13-018 is an NIH funding opportunity for administrative supplements titled "Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)." It provided additional funds to add targeted sex/gender-focused research activities onto existing, active NIH-supported projects.
What is the purpose of this administrative supplement opportunity?
The purpose was to strengthen and expand research that examines how sex and/or gender differences (and in some cases similarities) influence human health outcomes. The supplements were intended to help investigators build clearer, more defensible conclusions about sex/gender impacts within the context of an already-funded NIH project.
What kinds of research were supported?
The scope was broad and could include behavioral research, clinical studies, and preclinical work, as long as the added activities clearly focused on sex/gender as a meaningful biological and/or social variable relevant to health and disease.
Does the opportunity focus on sex differences, gender differences, or both?
It supported research on sex differences, gender differences, and in some cases similarities. The key requirement was that sex and/or gender be treated as a meaningful variable tied to health outcomes, disease processes, prevention, or treatment response.
What scientific topics or questions were NIH especially interested in?
NIH highlighted interest in studies that improve understanding of how sex/gender influences:
- Pathophysiology of disease (how diseases develop and function in the body)
- Differences in clinical presentation (how symptoms appear and are recognized)
- Variation in prevention strategies
- Differences in treatment response
What are examples of activities that could be added using the supplement?
Examples mentioned include:
- Additional analyses of existing datasets to produce sex-stratified outcomes
- Additional recruitment to ensure adequate representation for sex-based comparisons
- Laboratory experiments designed to probe mechanistic differences
- Other add-on activities that strengthen conclusions about sex/gender impacts within the parent grant
Does the supplement work need to stay within the scope of the parent NIH award?
Yes. Because this was an administrative supplement mechanism, the proposed work needed to remain within the scientific scope of the active parent award while adding a focused, justifiable component that directly addresses sex/gender considerations.
Is alignment with any NIH strategic plan required?
Yes. A key expectation was alignment with the NIH Strategic Plan for Women's Health and Sex Differences Research. Applicants were expected to connect supplement aims to objectives in that strategic plan and explain how the added work would advance women's health research and/or broader understanding of sex differences.
How much total funding was estimated for this opportunity?
The estimated total funding amount was $3.5 million.
What was the maximum award amount per supplement?
The award ceiling was $100,000 per supplement.
Was cost-sharing or matching required?

Yes. For projects involving foreign institutions or foreign components, NIH noted a compliance-related condition: applicants needed clearance for shipping biological samples across international borders prior to making an administrative supplement award.
Does this opportunity support new standalone projects?
No. This was an administrative supplement opportunity intended to support additional work on existing NIH-supported projects.
What is the overall goal of these supplements in practical terms?
