Opportunity Summary:
The Administrative Supplements to NIGMS Predoctoral Training Grants for Research Curriculum Development (Admin Supp) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-16-142) was a discretionary NIH grant mechanism offered through HHS/NIH, specifically the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). It was created and posted on March 22, 2016, with an application closing date of May 18, 2016. The central purpose of this supplement was to provide additional, targeted funding to institutions that already held active NIGMS-funded T32 Predoctoral Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) training grants, allowing them to strengthen and modernize how they train predoctoral researchers.
The funding is focused on curriculum development within biomedical predoctoral research training programs, with an emphasis on implementing and evaluating innovative and novel curricular and training activities. In practical terms, NIGMS was looking to support new or revamped educational components that build the skills trainees need to become competitive biomedical research scientists. Just as important as rolling out new activities, the supplement explicitly supports assessment, meaning programs were expected to measure whether the new curriculum or training changes were effective and to use evidence to guide continued improvements. The overall intent is to encourage a broader reworking and revitalization of biomedical predoctoral research education and training rather than simply adding small, untested add-ons.
Eligibility was limited to organizations capable of holding NIH grants and, more specifically, to those with relevant existing NIGMS T32 predoctoral NRSA awards. Eligible applicant organization types included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional categories referenced in the full eligibility language. The opportunity falls under the NIH health-related activity category and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.859 (and also 93.859 listed alongside another entry in the source data).
From a funding perspective, the supplement listed an award ceiling of $80,000, indicating the maximum amount available per award under this announcement. While the source data does not specify the expected number of awards, the structure and purpose indicate these were intended as administrative supplements, meaning additional funds attached to an existing parent T32 training grant rather than a standalone new training grant competition. Overall, PA-16-142 was designed to help NIGMS-supported training programs pilot and evaluate meaningful curricular innovations that better prepare PhD-level biomedical trainees for modern research careers.
