Opportunity Summary:
Administrative Supplements to NIGMS Predoctoral Training Grants for Career Curriculum Development (Admin Supp) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (HHS-NIH), specifically through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PA 16-133 and is associated with the health-related funding activity category, with CFDA number 93.859. The opportunity was created and posted on March 14, 2016, with an application closing date of May 18, 2016.
The purpose of this program is to provide administrative supplement funding to institutions that already hold active NIGMS-funded predoctoral T32 training grants. Rather than supporting a brand-new training grant, these funds are meant to add targeted resources onto an existing T32 program so the institution can develop and implement new curricular activities. The central emphasis is career curriculum development that broadens the training environment and better prepares predoctoral trainees for research careers across a wider range of professional settings. The announcement explicitly highlights preparation for research careers not only in traditional academic pathways, but also in venues such as industry, government, and entrepreneurial enterprises, reflecting an intent to expose trainees to diverse career options and skill sets that translate beyond academia.
The award is structured as an administrative supplement, meaning it is an add-on to an existing award mechanism rather than a standalone grant. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $80,000. While the source information does not specify the exact number of expected awards, it indicates that NIGMS is making funds available for eligible supplement requests tied to qualifying T32 training grants, implying a competitive process based on the readiness, relevance, and projected impact of the proposed curricular additions.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as described in the opportunity’s additional eligibility guidance. In practical terms, the key eligibility factor is that the applicant organization must be the recipient of an NIGMS-funded predoctoral T32 training grant to which the supplement would apply. The supplement funds are intended to support concrete curricular development and implementation efforts, such as designing new modules, workshops, experiential learning components, or other structured activities that expand trainees’ understanding of career possibilities and strengthen transferable professional and research skills aligned with multiple career trajectories.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at enhancing the career-readiness of NIGMS-supported predoctoral trainees by enabling training programs to modernize and broaden their curricula, helping students gain exposure to and preparation for a spectrum of research careers in academia and beyond.
