Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PA 12-100, titled "Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp)," is designed for current NIH-funded principal investigators who already hold certain eligible NIH research grants or cooperative agreements (the specific eligible mechanisms are listed in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement). Instead of supporting brand-new projects, this program provides a pathway to request additional funds as an administrative supplement when a currently active, already-approved project encounters legitimate cost increases that were not anticipated at the time the original application, renewal, or the non-competing continuation progress report was submitted. A key boundary is that the requested supplement must remain within the scientific and programmatic scope of the existing parent award; it is meant to cover unforeseen needs or increased costs to complete the originally approved aims, not to expand the project into a new direction.
These supplement requests are handled as prior approval requests under the NIH Grants Policy Statement (referenced as Section 8.1.2.11), which signals that they do not follow the standard competitive peer-review pathway used for new grant applications. Instead, submissions are routed directly to the Grants Management Officer associated with the parent award for administrative and programmatic consideration. This reflects the practical purpose of the mechanism: it is a way to manage real-world changes and cost pressures that can arise during the life of an award, while keeping the work aligned with what NIH already agreed to support.
The announcement also emphasizes that submitting through this FOA does not guarantee funding. Availability depends on whether the awarding NIH Institute or Center (IC) has funds and is willing to support supplements for a particular grant at that time. Because each IC may apply its own policies, constraints, or additional requirements for administrative supplements, applicants are strongly encouraged to communicate early with the awarding IC to discuss the potential request before submitting. Applicants are also expected to review the relevant IC guidance posted on NIH's administrative supplement pages, with NIH providing a central index of IC-specific supplement websites at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/adminsupp/index.htm.
From an eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is broad in terms of institutional types, but it is fundamentally limited to investigators who already have an eligible NIH parent award. Eligible applicant organizations listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and many government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts). The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused or designated institutions and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions and foreign components are also allowed under NIH policy: non-U.S. entities may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are permitted.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant program under NIH, with activity areas spanning education, environment, food and nutrition, and health. The opportunity references many CFDA numbers associated with NIH’s broad research mission areas (for example, environmental health, mental health, cancer, cardiovascular, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, aging, vision research, and others), which reflects that administrative supplements can apply across a wide range of NIH Institutes and research topics as long as the parent award and supplement request fit the rules. The FOA was posted on February 13, 2012, with an original closing date of January 30, 2013, a current closing date of January 30, 2014, and an archive date of March 2, 2014, indicating this specific announcement has since closed and been archived, though NIH has continued to use similar parent administrative supplement structures over time.

Why is early communication with the NIH Institute or Center (IC) recommended?
Each NIH IC may apply its own policies, constraints, or additional requirements for administrative supplements. The FOA strongly encourages applicants to contact the awarding IC early to discuss the request before submitting.
Where can applicants find NIH Institute- or Center-specific guidance on supplements?
NIH provides a central index of IC-specific administrative supplement websites at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/adminsupp/index.htm. Applicants are expected to review the relevant IC guidance.
