Opportunity Summary:
Collaborative Activities to Promote Metabolomics Research (Admin Supp) (PA 13-041) was an NIH administrative supplement opportunity under the Common Fund Metabolomics Program, aimed at strengthening the national capacity to perform high-quality metabolomics in translational and clinical research. The central idea behind the supplement was that metabolomics can reveal disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and treatment responses in ways other approaches often cannot, but successful metabolomics work depends on specialized expertise in study design, analytical platforms, and complex data processing and interpretation. This opportunity was designed to help bridge that expertise gap by encouraging hands-on, interactive collaborations that bring metabolomics specialists directly into ongoing NIH-funded projects.
Rather than funding entirely new standalone grants, this program provided supplemental funds to investigators who already had an active NIH-funded research project and wanted to add a new collaborative metabolomics component. The supplement structure signaled that NIH expected applicants to build on existing aims and infrastructure, using the added funds to support newly formed partnerships between basic or clinical researchers and metabolomics experts. In practice, the goal was twofold: first, to enable biomedical studies that genuinely require a metabolomics approach (for example, profiling metabolites to understand disease pathways, stratify patient populations, or monitor intervention effects), and second, to spread practical metabolomics know-how more broadly across the biomedical research community through real collaborative work.
The opportunity was offered by the National Institutes of Health and categorized as a discretionary grant mechanism, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding available was $2,000,000, and the award ceiling listed was $100,000, reflecting the administrative supplement nature of the awards (typically smaller additions to parent grants rather than large multi-year budgets). The posting date and creation date were December 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 15, 2013, and an archive date of April 15, 2013, indicating it was a time-limited supplement call.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations, spanning public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), state and local governments (including city, county, special district, and independent school districts), tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribes), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses). The opportunity also explicitly included a wide set of additional eligible applicants such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISI institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. Foreign participation was also allowed: non-U.S. entities and foreign institutions could apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were eligible, and foreign components were permitted consistent with NIH policy, which is notable for a supplement mechanism and suggests NIH was open to accessing the best metabolomics expertise wherever it resided.
Overall, PA 13-041 functioned as a targeted add-on funding option to accelerate metabolomics-enabled discovery within existing NIH projects by making it easier to bring metabolomics experts into the research team, pay for the necessary metabolomics analyses and related effort, and ensure the resulting data are designed, generated, and interpreted rigorously. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website, and the provided contact pathway for access or technical issues was the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster at FBOWebmaster@od.nih.gov.
