Opportunity Summary:
The NIH opportunity titled "Administrative Supplements for the U.S.-Japan Brain Research Cooperative Program (BRCP), U.S. Entity" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-249) is an administrative supplement program meant to add targeted, short-term support to research projects that already have active NIH funding. Rather than funding brand-new standalone grants, it provides additional dollars to existing awards held by U.S. investigators whose projects are supported by participating NIH Institutes and Centers. The overall goal is to strengthen scientific exchange, training, and collaborative neuroscience research between the United States and Japan, spanning basic, translational, and clinical domains.
The BRCP U.S. entity supports two main kinds of activities. First, it can fund visits by U.S. scientists to Japanese institutions so they can conduct collaborative research and/or gain advanced research skills that would be difficult to obtain at their home institutions. These visits are intended to be practical and research-focused, helping investigators build hands-on expertise, share methods, and accelerate progress on work that aligns closely with the NIH-funded parent project. Second, it can support joint workshops designed to exchange scientific information and to foster longer-term collaborations. These workshops are meant to convene researchers across the two countries around shared neuroscience topics, promote cross-lab problem solving, and create connections that can lead to sustained collaborative projects.
Because this is an administrative supplement, eligibility hinges on having an active "parent" NIH award. The supplement work must be completed within the competitive segment of that parent award, and the proposed activities must remain within the original scientific scope that was peer reviewed and approved for the main grant. The announcement emphasizes alignment: the collaborative research activities and any workshop plans should map clearly onto the aims of the parent award rather than introducing a new research direction. The program description also notes that the supplement is intended to cover increased costs due to unforeseen circumstances, and that any added costs must fit within the approved scope of the project.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant mechanism and is associated with a broad set of NIH-related CFDA program areas that touch neuroscience and health, including (among others) environmental health, oral diseases and disorders, deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, mental health, drug abuse and addiction, technological innovations for human health, translational sciences, neuroscience and neurological disorders, and aging research. This breadth reflects that neuroscience collaboration can be relevant across many NIH missions, as long as the proposed supplement activities are consistent with the parent grant and the participating Institute or Center.
In terms of who can apply, the eligible applicant pool is wide and includes many types of U.S. organizations commonly eligible for NIH funding, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, with the usual NIH distinctions), small businesses, and certain for-profit entities. Governmental entities are also listed, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and eligible federal agencies. The announcement further specifies additional eligible applicant categories such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, AANAPISIs, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions. Importantly, despite the broad organizational eligibility list, the practical requirement remains the same: an applicant must already hold an active NIH award to which the supplement would attach.
Key administrative details in the posted record include an award ceiling of $50,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was originally posted June 5, 2014, with a closing date of September 2, 2016, and it was archived October 3, 2016. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH Grants Guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-14-249.html), and the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact was provided for access or technical issues related to the announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this NIH funding opportunity?
This opportunity is titled "Administrative Supplements for the U.S.-Japan Brain Research Cooperative Program (BRCP), U.S. Entity" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-249). It is an administrative supplement program that provides targeted, short-term additional support to projects that already have active NIH funding, rather than funding brand-new standalone grants.
Is this a standalone grant or an add-on to an existing NIH award?
It is an add-on (an administrative supplement) to an existing, active NIH "parent" award. The supplement attaches to an already-funded project held by a U.S. investigator whose parent award is supported by a participating NIH Institute or Center.
What is the overall goal of the BRCP U.S. entity supplement?
The goal is to strengthen scientific exchange, training, and collaborative neuroscience research between the United States and Japan. The program spans basic, translational, and clinical domains, as long as the proposed supplement activities align with the parent NIH-funded project.
What types of activities can the supplement support?
The BRCP U.S. entity supports two main categories of activities: (1) visits by U.S. scientists to Japanese institutions to conduct collaborative research and/or gain advanced research skills that are difficult to obtain at their home institutions, and (2) joint workshops to exchange scientific information and foster longer-term collaborations between U.S. and Japanese researchers.
What is the purpose of the U.S. scientist visits to Japan?
The visits are intended to be practical and research-focused. They support collaborative work and skill-building that can accelerate progress on research that aligns closely with the NIH-funded parent project, including sharing methods and building hands-on expertise.
What is the purpose of the joint workshops?
Workshops are intended to convene researchers from the United States and Japan around shared neuroscience topics, enable exchange of scientific information, encourage cross-lab problem solving, and create relationships that can develop into sustained collaborations.
Who is eligible to apply?
Organizational eligibility is broad and includes many U.S. organizations typically eligible for NIH funding (such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits, small businesses, certain for-profit entities, and various governmental entities).
