Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Administrative Supplements for U.S.-Brazil Biomedical Collaborative Research" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-328) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) announcement that lets investigators who already hold active NIH research awards apply for additional, targeted funding through an administrative supplement. Instead of supporting entirely new stand-alone projects, the program is designed to strengthen and extend the impact of ongoing, NIH-funded research by adding a collaborative component with Brazilian scientists. In practice, this means a U.S.-based NIH awardee can request extra funds to build or expand a structured research partnership with investigators in Brazil, as long as the proposed supplement stays within the scope of the existing parent grant.
The scientific focus areas are clearly defined. Both the parent award and the proposed supplement activities must fall within cancer, allergy, immunology, and/or infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and its comorbidities. The central goal is to accelerate biomedical progress in these fields by enabling cross-national collaboration under the U.S.-Brazil Collaborative Biomedical Research Program. This can include activities that enhance the current research plan, such as adding complementary expertise, sharing resources or methods, coordinating joint experiments or analyses, or supporting collaborative efforts that make the parent project more productive and internationally integrated, so long as the work remains aligned with the original NIH-funded aims.
This FOA is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health funding area and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research). The total estimated funding available under the announcement is listed as $3,000,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per supplement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the supplement.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types, covering many U.S. research-performing and administering entities such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and a range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district), as well as public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities and independent school districts. The announcement also explicitly recognizes a variety of institution categories that can be eligible when they administer an eligible parent award, 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 (AANAPISISs), among others. The key practical eligibility rule is that any organization administering an eligible NIH parent award may apply for a supplement under this FOA.
At the same time, there are important limitations related to foreign eligibility. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply directly for the supplement, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, which is the mechanism NIH uses to permit certain elements of a project to be carried out outside the United States when justified. That matters here because the program goal involves collaboration with Brazilian scientists, so the partnership can be supported through allowable foreign components while keeping the applicant and award administration on the U.S. side through an eligible NIH awardee organization.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 28, 2014, created on September 19, 2014, with an original closing date of October 23, 2014, and a current closing date listed as October 27, 2014. The archive date is November 26, 2014, indicating it is no longer an active, open opportunity in its original form, but it remains a useful reference for understanding how NIH structured administrative supplements to promote U.S.-Brazil research collaboration at that time.
