Research Supplements to Promote Re-Entry into Biomedical and Behavioral Research Careers (Admin Supp - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Program Description
Program Description

This program is designed to offer opportunities to women and men who have interrupted their research careers after taking time off for family responsibilities or other qualifying circumstances.  The aim of these supplements is to encourage individuals to re-enter research careers within the missions of all the program areas at NIH. This program will provide administrative supplements to existing NIH research grants for the purpose of supporting full-time or part-time research by these individuals to update their existing research skills and knowledge, while contributing to the scope of the original project. It is anticipated that at the completion of the supplement, the re-entry scientist will be in a position to apply for a career development (K) award, a research (R) award, or some other form of support research. 

Application Due Date
Application Due
July 17, 2024
See Notice of Special Interest (NOSI).
Eligibility
Eligibility

Candidates must:

  • Have a doctoral degree, such as M.D., D.D.S., Ph.D., O.D., D.V.M., or equivalent
  • Have been accepted in a postdoctoral or faculty position at the time they left active research.
  • Be planning a career in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social science research.

Candidates who have begun the re-entry process through a fellowship, traineeship, or similar mechanism are not eligible for this program.

Awards will be limited to citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States or to individuals who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (i.e., in possession of a Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) at the time of award.

The duration of the career interruption should be at least one year and no more than eight years. Examples of qualifying interruptions would include:

  • A complete or partial hiatus from research activities for child rearing
  • An incapacitating illness or injury of the candidate, spouse, partner, or a member of the immediate family
  • relocation to accommodate a spouse, partner, or other close family member
  • pursuit of non-research endeavors that would permit earlier retirement of debt incurred in obtaining a doctoral degree; and military service
Length
Length
A minimum of one year is typical (cannot exceed the remaining time on the parent award).

The requested salary and fringe benefits for a re-entry candidate must be in accordance with the salary structure of the grantee institution, consistent with the level of effort.

An additional amount up to $10,000 may be requested for supplies, domestic travel, and publication costs relevant to the proposed research.
