Opportunity Summary:
Limited Competition: NIDCR Supplements to NCATS CTSA Programs for Scholars Pursuing Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Clinical and Translational Research Career Development (Admin Supp) (RFA-DE-17-008) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from HHS/NIH that supports administrative supplement requests tied to specific existing career development awards within the NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program. The intent is not to fund entirely new standalone projects, but to add targeted support to eligible parent awards so that additional scholars can be supported in dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) clinical and translational research career development pathways. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen the DOC research workforce by leveraging the CTSA training infrastructure and extending it to scholars whose focus aligns with the mission of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR).
This is a limited competition administrative supplement opportunity, meaning only institutions that already hold qualifying parent awards are positioned to apply, and the supplement must be connected to those awards. The announcement specifies that the supplement mechanism is intended for awards made under PAR-15-304 and RFA-TR-14-009, specifically the KL2 Institutional Career Development Core component associated with CTSA hubs. KL2 programs are structured, mentored career development efforts that provide protected time, training, and research support to junior investigators; this supplement opportunity targets that same structure but directs the added support toward scholars pursuing DOC clinical and translational research careers.
The funding instrument is a grant categorized under health-related activities, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.121. While the eligibility listing is broad (including various levels of government, tribal entities, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations), the practical eligibility is constrained by the requirement to have an active, eligible CTSA KL2 parent award under the specified FOAs. That constraint is what makes it a limited competition: the pool of potential applicants is essentially CTSA institutions with the referenced KL2 awards that can justify an administrative supplement request consistent with NIH supplement policies and the specific goals laid out by NIDCR for DOC workforce development.
Key logistics provided in the source data include an original and current closing date of November 1, 2016, a posting and creation date of June 14, 2016, and an anticipated number of awards of about 8. The award ceiling is not stated in the provided record, which typically implies applicants would need to consult the full FOA text for allowable budget ranges, cost categories, and duration limits for the supplement. Because the mechanism is an administrative supplement, the budget and project period generally must fit within the scope, timeline, and administrative constraints of the parent award and must be justified as an additive enhancement rather than a major change in direction.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NIDCR partnering with the NCATS CTSA training ecosystem to expand and diversify the pipeline of clinically oriented translational researchers in dentistry and related craniofacial fields. Rather than building new training programs from scratch, the FOA uses supplemental funds to extend existing KL2 career development programs so they can support additional DOC-focused scholars, thereby increasing capacity for mentored research training, clinical and translational skill development, and progression toward independent research careers in dental, oral, and craniofacial health.
