Opportunity Summary:
Aging Research to Address Health Disparities (Admin Supp) (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15-293) was a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity led by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), specifically through NIA's Office of Special Populations. The program offered administrative supplements, meaning it was designed to provide additional funds to researchers who already held an active, eligible NIH-funded award, rather than funding entirely new, standalone projects. The core purpose was to expand or accelerate existing aging-related research so it more directly addresses health disparities, with an emphasis on generating knowledge that can help explain and reduce unequal health outcomes among different populations as people age.
The scope was intentionally broad and welcomed multiple scientific approaches, including preclinical research, clinical research, and social and behavioral studies. In practice, that meant the supplement could support work ranging from biological mechanisms and disease processes relevant to disparities in later life, to patient-centered clinical studies, to research on social determinants of health such as access to care, neighborhood conditions, discrimination, stress, education, income, and other structural or environmental factors that shape aging outcomes. Because it was framed around "health disparities," the intent was not just to study aging in general, but to focus on differences in health status, disease burden, progression, treatment outcomes, or healthcare access that disproportionately affect certain groups.
This opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and used the grant funding instrument, with the funding activity category listed as health. The estimated total funding amount was $250,000, with an award ceiling of $45,000 per supplement. The announcement anticipated making about four awards, which suggests it was relatively small and selective, aimed at targeted additions to ongoing projects rather than large expansions. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the supplement.
Eligibility was expansive and included a wide range of applicant organization types commonly seen in NIH funding, such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including city, township, county, special district, and independent school districts), Native American tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and other entities as described in the announcement. The eligibility language also explicitly referenced many institution types that often play key roles in health disparities research and community-engaged research, 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 and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the announcement made clear that foreign organizations and foreign components were not allowed: non-U.S. entities were not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy were not permitted.
Timing-wise, the funding announcement was posted and created on July 8, 2015. The original and current closing date were both September 17, 2015, and the archive date was October 18, 2015, indicating it was a time-limited supplement opportunity tied to that submission window. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.866, which corresponds to the NIH Aging Research program area.
