Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Collaborative Activities to Promote Research on Integrative Approaches to Symptom Management in Military Populations (Administrative Supplement)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-12-160) is a National Institutes of Health announcement issued through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), now known as the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). It offered one-year administrative supplement support intended specifically for investigators who already held active NCCAM-funded NIH awards. The central purpose was to spur new or expanded collaborations focused on research into integrative approaches for pain and broader symptom management in military populations, recognizing that service members, veterans, and related communities often face complex symptom burdens that may include pain, stress-related conditions, sleep problems, and other co-occurring issues.
This was not a standalone grant mechanism for brand-new projects; instead, it functioned as an administrative supplement to an existing parent award. That detail matters because the supplement activities had to remain within the scientific scope of the already peer-reviewed and approved research aims of the parent NIH grant. In practical terms, applicants could not propose an entirely new line of research that had not been evaluated in the original award. The intent was to enable grantees to add a focused, time-limited set of collaborative activities that strengthen or extend existing work in a way that is directly relevant to integrative symptom management for military populations.
The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and listed the funding instrument type as a cooperative agreement, with the broader activity category identified as health. It was associated with CFDA number 93.213, "Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health." No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the supplement. The announcement was posted and created on April 11, 2012, with an original and final application closing date of June 15, 2012, and it was archived on July 16, 2012, reflecting that it was a time-bounded supplement opportunity rather than an open-ended recurring program.
Eligibility was broad in the sense that many organization types could participate, but it was also constrained by the requirement that applicants be NCCAM-funded grantees seeking an administrative supplement to an existing award. The eligible applicant types listed included state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding those that are institutions of higher education in the specific category wording), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. Additional eligibility language also highlighted a range of institution types commonly referenced in NIH announcements, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities from applying, disallowed non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, and stated that foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not permitted.
Programmatically, the emphasis on "collaborative activities" signals that NCCAM was aiming to catalyze partnerships that could speed progress or broaden expertise related to integrative health approaches. In the context of military populations, integrative approaches commonly refer to coordinated use of evidence-informed complementary and conventional strategies, which may include, depending on the scope of the parent award, modalities such as mind-body interventions, acupuncture, massage, yoga, meditation-based approaches, or other complementary practices studied with rigorous scientific methods. The announcement itself does not list specific allowable interventions, but the key constraint is that whatever is proposed must be consistent with and justified by the already-approved aims and methodology of the parent NIH project.
For applicants trying to locate the full official announcement at the time, NIH provided an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-160.html). For access or technical issues with the posting, NIH directed inquiries to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), including help for problems linking to the funding announcement.
