Opportunity Summary:
NIH Notice NOT-OD-09-056 announces a one-time, Recovery Act-funded chance for investigators and U.S. organizations that already hold active NIH awards to request administrative supplement funding to speed up the science on those existing projects. The core idea is straightforward: instead of starting brand-new grants, NIH would use American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) dollars to add resources to currently funded NIH research so labs and research teams can move faster, produce results sooner, and expand near-term research activity. In line with ARRA goals, NIH emphasizes that these supplements are also meant to support job creation and broader economic activity while accelerating biomedical and health-related research progress.
The opportunity is broad in scientific scope. NIH indicates that requests may be submitted across essentially all NIH scientific and programmatic areas, rather than being limited to a narrow set of topics. At the same time, applicants are warned that individual NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) may apply their own additional rules or priorities, and some ICs may only accept supplements in specific target areas listed on their websites. Because of that, potential applicants are expected to check the guidance posted by their particular funding IC before preparing a request, including any IC-specific instructions for revision applications and supplement requests.
A notable feature of this notice is the explicit mention of comparative effectiveness research (CER) funding within ARRA. NIH states that some Recovery Act funds reserved for CER may be used to support administrative supplements, but projects supported with those CER-designated dollars must fit the CER definition provided in the notice: a rigorous evaluation of the impact of different treatment or intervention options for a given condition in a particular patient population. NIH describes CER broadly enough to include head-to-head comparisons of similar interventions (for example, competing drugs) as well as comparisons of very different approaches (for example, surgery versus drug therapy). The notice also highlights enabling infrastructure and data approaches that can support CER, including the development and use of clinical registries, clinical data networks, and other electronic health data resources capable of generating or supplying outcomes data relevant to CER analyses.
Eligibility is centered on the existence of an active NIH award, since these are administrative supplements to ongoing projects rather than standalone grants. The notice covers a wide range of NIH award mechanisms, including active NIH Research Grants, Research Program and Center Grants, Career Development Awards (K series), Institutional Training Grants (T series), Cooperative Agreements (U series), and Educational Development Awards, with the expectation that the underlying award is active and otherwise qualifies under the relevant IC rules. The applicant pool spans many types of U.S. institutions and organizations, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit statuses), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and various mission-specific institution types such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, faith-based/community-based organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. In practice, the controlling requirement is not the organization type alone, but whether the organization holds an eligible active NIH award and meets any additional IC-specific supplement conditions.
In terms of timing and funding context, NIH frames this notice as one of three ARRA administrative supplement/competitive revision announcements, with NIH planning to obligate roughly $1 billion in ARRA funds across those related notices (or reissues of them) by September 30, 2010. The solicitation allows applicants to request up to two years of support for qualified grants, which signals NIH was willing to fund not only immediate short-term boosts but also sustained acceleration efforts, as long as they fit within ARRA intent and the parent award’s scope. The notice lists multiple closing dates rather than a single deadline, meaning submissions were accepted in cycles or windows described in the full announcement.
On application logistics, NIH specifies that administrative supplements under this announcement use the paper PHS 398 application forms, which is an important procedural detail because it differs from fully electronic systems that many applicants use for other mechanisms. Applicants are also directed to consult IC-specific revision and supplement instructions before responding, reinforcing that the practical submission process and allowable costs or activities could vary depending on which NIH Institute or Center funds the parent award.
Finally, the notice metadata characterizes the program as a grant-related opportunity in the health category under Recovery Act authority, with no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The official posting date is March 18, 2009, and the archive date is October 30, 2010. The full announcement and updates are referenced through the NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-056.html), and NIH provides general contact direction through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking problems.
