Opportunity Summary:
Research Enhancement for NIDDK Hematology Grantees (Admin Supp) (Funding Opportunity Number PA 12 242) was a National Institutes of Health administrative supplement opportunity designed to strengthen and expand the work already underway in NIDDK-funded hematology research projects. Rather than funding entirely new, standalone studies, the program focused on providing add-on support to active awards held by NIDDK Hematology Principal Investigators, with the goal of accelerating progress by enabling targeted, practical collaborations that directly enhance the parent grant's ongoing aims.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to promote short-term, high-value scientific exchanges between qualified investigators. The FOA emphasized visitations and in-depth sharing of resources, skills, and reagents, aiming to help researchers learn specialized techniques, access unique materials, or bring complementary expertise into a project more quickly than would be possible through ordinary networking or future grant cycles. In effect, the supplement funding was intended to remove logistical and financial barriers that often prevent labs from collaborating deeply, such as travel and coordination costs, time-limited training needs, or the exchange and setup of specialized research tools and materials.
From a programmatic standpoint, this opportunity sat within the NIH grant framework as a discretionary grant action and was categorized under the broader funding activity area of Food and Nutrition Health, tied to CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). It did not require cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving support. Because it was an administrative supplement mechanism, the competitive focus was typically on whether the proposed enhancement was well-justified, feasible within the supplement period, and clearly connected to advancing the scientific objectives of the active NIDDK hematology award.
Eligibility was broad across public and private sectors, reflecting NIH's typical approach to institutional eligibility, but the practical target audience was institutions that already held the relevant NIDDK hematology grants. Eligible applicant types included a wide range of government entities (state, county, city or township, special districts, and certain tribal governments), education organizations (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts), and private-sector and nonprofit entities (small businesses, other for-profit organizations, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). The announcement also explicitly included additional eligible organization categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. In short, the eligibility language was inclusive, but the intent was clearly to serve NIDDK hematology PIs seeking to enhance an existing funded research effort through collaborative exchange.
Key timing details indicate this was a time-limited opportunity posted on July 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2012, and an archive date of September 24, 2012, meaning it is no longer open. The sponsoring agency was the National Institutes of Health, and the full announcement was provided through the NIH Grants Guide. For technical access or linking issues, the contact listed was the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), which suggests the point of contact was primarily for announcement access rather than programmatic scientific questions.
Overall, PA 12 242 can be understood as a mechanism to boost the productivity and reach of NIDDK hematology research by funding practical, collaboration-driven enhancements to active projects, especially those that depend on specialized expertise, shared reagents, or hands-on exchange that benefits from investigators spending time in each other's research environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
