Opportunity Summary:
The NIMH Administrative Supplement Program Providing Research Experiences for Physicians and Medical Students from Diverse Backgrounds (Funding Opportunity Number PA-15-069) is an NIH discretionary grant mechanism designed to expand the mental health research pipeline by funding research experiences for early-career physicians and medical students who come from underrepresented backgrounds. Rather than supporting a completely new, stand-alone research project, this opportunity provides administrative supplement funding that is added onto an existing, already-funded "parent" grant. The central idea is to use the ongoing, funded research as a high-quality training environment where a promising physician-scientist or medical student can gain advanced, career-shaping research experience in mental health-related science.
A defining requirement of the program is that the proposed research experience must be tightly integrated with the aims and activities of the parent award. In practical terms, the supplement-supported work is expected to fit naturally within the scope of the existing funded project, contribute meaningfully to its progress, and at the same time be structured in a way that directly supports the candidate's development as a researcher. NIMH emphasizes that the supplement should have clear potential to significantly advance the candidate's research career, meaning the experience should be more than short-term exposure; it should position the individual for continued research involvement, skill development, and future independence in mental health research.
The opportunity falls under the NIH funding activity category of Health, with CFDA number 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally lowers administrative burden for applicants. The program was posted and created on December 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2017, and an archive date of May 2, 2017, indicating that this particular announcement is no longer active as a live competition but remains an important reference point for understanding how NIMH uses administrative supplements to promote workforce diversity and physician-scientist development.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of institutions and organizations that can hold an NIH grant and therefore potentially serve as the parent-award institution. Eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, a wide range of nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), and multiple government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. The eligibility list also includes public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Additional categories explicitly noted as eligible include 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 Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and regional organizations.
Notably, the announcement also indicates that non-U.S. entities may apply, including foreign organizations and foreign institutions, and that non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible. Foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed. This signals that, in principle, the administrative supplement could be implemented in a variety of institutional settings, including those with international elements, as long as the underlying parent award and proposed activities comply with NIH rules.
The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, with the program situated within NIMH's goals of strengthening the mental health research workforce and improving representation among those conducting mental health research. The full announcement was made available through NIH's grants policy and guide site at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-069.html, and the listed points of contact for access or technical issues are the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) web support resources, including the OER Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the NIMH Administrative Supplement Program Providing Research Experiences for Physicians and Medical Students from Diverse Backgrounds (PA-15-069)?
PA-15-069 is an NIH discretionary grant mechanism from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) that provides administrative supplement funding to expand the mental health research pipeline.

The parent grant is an existing, already-funded NIH award held by an eligible institution. The supplement funds are added onto that active award so that the supported research experience occurs within the scope and activities of the ongoing funded project.
How closely must the supplement activities align with the parent award?
