Opportunity Summary:
This NIH funding opportunity (PA 13-275) offered administrative supplement grants to add targeted, collaborative work onto existing NIH-funded projects, specifically to advance the goals of the Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN). The central idea was to speed up and strengthen cross-cutting research on substance use, abuse, and addiction, including the health consequences that often travel with addiction. Rather than funding brand-new standalone projects, these supplements were meant to “bolt on” additional, clearly defined research activities to an active parent award, as long as the proposed supplement work stayed within the original scientific scope of that parent project. Applications were reviewed by NIH program staff, reflecting the administrative supplement mechanism and its focus on quickly leveraging existing research infrastructure.
The opportunity sat within NIH’s broader effort to promote collaboration and integration across addiction-related science, with an emphasis on comorbidity-related research. In practice, this kind of supplement could support added analyses, new collaborative aims, shared resources, or coordinated studies that connect addiction research to other health domains (for example, cancer prevention and control, or alcohol-related research areas reflected in the CFDA listings). The overall intent was to encourage research that cuts across traditional boundaries and captures the real-world complexity of addiction, including co-occurring conditions and overlapping risk factors.
Funding was discretionary and provided through a grant supplement mechanism, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 per supplement. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 24, 2013, and an archive date of October 25, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited supplement opportunity tied to that application window.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of domestic and international organizations, reflecting NIH’s standard reach for research participation. Eligible applicants listed in the announcement included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and various government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing/Indian housing authorities). The eligibility language also explicitly included a wide range of mission- and community-focused institutions and organizations such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, as well as faith-based or community-based organizations. Importantly, non-U.S. entities and foreign institutions were eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were eligible, and foreign components were allowed under NIH policy.
The sponsoring agency was the National Institutes of Health. The announcement’s practical takeaway for applicants was that a PD/PI with an active eligible parent award could request up to $100,000 in additional support to carry out an add-on effort that strengthens collaborative, comorbidity-relevant addiction research aligned with CRAN priorities, while staying inside the boundaries of the already-approved project. For official details and the full announcement text, NIH pointed applicants to the Grants Guide posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-275.html, with NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information provided for access or linking issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is NIH PA-13-275?
PA-13-275 was an NIH funding opportunity that offered administrative supplement grants. These supplements were designed to add targeted, collaborative work onto existing NIH-funded projects in order to advance the goals of the Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH (CRAN).
What was the main purpose of this administrative supplement opportunity?
The purpose was to speed up and strengthen cross-cutting research on substance use, abuse, and addiction, including health consequences that commonly co-occur with addiction. The emphasis was on collaboration and integration across addiction-related science, particularly comorbidity-related research.
Is this funding meant for brand-new standalone research projects?
No. This opportunity was specifically for administrative supplements to active NIH-funded parent awards. The supplement was meant to "bolt on" additional, clearly defined activities to an existing project rather than create a new standalone project.
What kinds of research activities could the supplement support?
Based on the announcement description, supplements could support added analyses, new collaborative aims, shared resources, or coordinated studies that link addiction research to other health domains. The opportunity encouraged work that crosses traditional boundaries and reflects the real-world complexity of addiction and co-occurring conditions.
What is CRAN, and how did it relate to this opportunity?
CRAN refers to the Collaborative Research on Addiction at NIH. This supplement opportunity was explicitly intended to advance CRAN goals by promoting collaborative, cross-cutting addiction research and encouraging integrated approaches, including comorbidity-focused research.
What does "must stay within the original scientific scope" mean for applicants?
It means the proposed supplement activities had to fit within the boundaries of the already-approved aims and overall scientific scope of the active parent award. The supplement could add targeted work, but it could not shift the parent project into a fundamentally different research direction.
How were applications reviewed?
Applications were reviewed by NIH program staff. This reflects the administrative supplement mechanism, which focuses on quickly leveraging existing research infrastructure rather than using a typical peer review process for brand-new research applications.
How much funding was available under this opportunity?
The estimated total funding amount was $2,000,000, and the award ceiling was $100,000 per supplement.
Was cost sharing or matching required?
No. The announcement stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligibility was broad and included many domestic and international organization types, consistent with NIH’s research participation reach. The announcement listed eligible applicants such as institutions of higher education, nonprofits, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and a wide range of government entities.
Were institutions like HBCUs and Tribal Colleges eligible?
Yes. The eligibility language explicitly included mission- and community-focused institutions and organizations, including HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions.

Yes. The practical takeaway described in the announcement was that a PD/PI with an active eligible parent award could request additional support for a defined add-on effort aligned with CRAN priorities.
Who was the sponsoring agency?
The sponsoring agency was the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
What were the key dates for this opportunity?
The announcement was posted and created on July 15, 2013. The original closing date and current closing date were both September 24, 2013. The archive date was October 25, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited opportunity tied to that application window.

No. The listed closing date was September 24, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on October 25, 2013.
What topic areas did NIH emphasize for these supplements?
The opportunity emphasized collaborative and integrated addiction research, including substance use, abuse, and addiction, and the associated health consequences that often co-occur. It also highlighted comorbidity-related research and cross-domain linkages (for example, connections to areas such as cancer prevention and control, or alcohol-related research areas reflected in CFDA listings).
Where can applicants find the official announcement text?
NIH pointed applicants to the Grants Guide posting at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-275.html.
