<p class=regulartext>This announcement is for supplements to existing projects.
To be eligible, the parent award must be active and the research proposed in
the supplement must be accomplished within the competitive segment. The proposed
supplement must be to provide for an increase in costs due to unforeseen
circumstances. All additional costs must be within the scope of the peer
reviewed and approved project. </p>
<p class=regulartext>IMPORTANT: The research proposed by the NIH grantee in the supplement
application must be within the original scope of the NIH-supported grant
project. </p>

<div class="heading4">Required Registrations</div>
<p class=regulartext><strong>Applicant
Organizations</strong></p>
<p class=regulartext>Applicant organizations must complete and maintain the following
registrations as described in the SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide to be
eligible to apply for or receive an award. Since administrative supplements are
made against active grants and cooperative agreements, many of these
registrations may already be in place. All registrations must be completed
prior to the application being submitted. Registration can take 6 weeks or
more, so applicants should begin the registration process as soon as possible.
The <a href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-039.html">NIH
Policy on Late Submission of Grant Applications</a> states that failure to complete
registrations in advance of a due date is not a valid reason for a late
submission.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform" Title="Link to Non-U.S. Government Site">Dun and Bradstreet
Universal Numbering System (DUNS)</a> - All registrations require that
applicants be issued a DUNS number. After obtaining a DUNS number, applicants
can begin both SAM and eRA Commons registrations. The same DUNS number must be
used for all registrations, as well as on the grant application.</li>
<li>
<a href="https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/">System for Award Management (SAM)</a>
Applicants must complete and maintain an active registration, <strong>which requires renewal at least annually</strong>.
The renewal process may require as much time as the initial registration. SAM
registration includes the assignment of a Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) Code for domestic organizations which have not already been assigned a
CAGE Code. </li>
<li>o
<a

Criteria</div>
<p class=regulartext>Administrative Supplements do not receive peer review. Instead,
the administrative criteria described below, and/or in an applicable Notice of
Special Interest (NOSI), will be considered in the administrative evaluation
process. . </p>
<p class=regulartext>The staff of the NIH awarding component will evaluate requests
for a supplement to determine its overall merit. The following general criteria
will be used: </p>
<p class=heading4Indent>Budget and
Period of Support</p>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>NIH staff will consider whether the
budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable
in relation to the proposed research.</p>
<p class=heading4Indent>Overall Impact</p>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>NIH staff will consider the ability of the proposed
supplement activities to increase or preserve the parent award&rsquo;s overall impact
within the original scope of award:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the
likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the
research field(s) involved?</li>
<li>
Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the
likelihood that the fellowship will enhance the candidate's potential for, and commitment
to, a productive, independent scientific research career in a health-related
field?</li>
<li>
Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the
likelihood for the candidate to maintain a strong research program?</li>
<li>
Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the
potential benefit of the instrument requested for the overall research
community and its potential impact on NIH-funded research?</li>
</ul>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>In addition, each of the following criteria will be evaluated
as applicable for the proposed supplement. </p>
<div class="heading4Indent">Protections for Human Subjects: </div>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>For research that involves human
subjects but does not involve one of the categories of research that are exempt
under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate the justification for involvement
of human subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to
their participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.</p>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>For research that involves human
subjects and meets the criteria for one or more of the categories of research that
are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate: 1) the justification
for the exemption, 2) human subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3)
sources of materials. For additional information on review of the Human
Subjects section, please refer to the <a
href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.php?id=11175">Guidelines
for the Review of Human Subjects</a>.</p>
<div class="heading4Indent">Inclusion of Women, Minorities,
and Individuals Across the Lifespan</div>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>When the proposed project involves human subjects and/or
NIH-defined clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans
for the inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender,
race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals of
all ages (including children and older adults) to determine if it is justified
in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed. </p>
<div class="heading4Indent">Vertebrate Animals</div>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>NIH staff will evaluate the
involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according
to the following five points: (1) description of proposed procedures involving
animals, including species, strains, ages, sex, and total number to be used;
(2) justifications for the use of animals versus alternative models and for the
appropriateness of the species proposed; (3) interventions to minimize
discomfort, distress, pain and injury; and (4) justification for euthanasia
method if NOT consistent with the AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of
Animals. Reviewers will assess the use of chimpanzees as they would any other
application proposing the use of vertebrate animals. For additional information
on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the <a
href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.php?id=11150">Worksheet
for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.</a></p>
<div class="heading4Indent">Biohazards</div>
<p class=P_SingleIndent>NIH staff will assess whether materials
or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or
the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.</p>
<div class="heading3">2. Review and Selection
Process </div>
<p class=regulartext>Administrative supplement requests will undergo an administrative
evaluation by NIH staff, but not a full peer review. Applications submitted for
this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding component for the parent
award and will be administratively evaluated using the criteria shown above.<br>

use the institution&rsquo;s current F&A rate; i.e., the rate in effect when the
new funding is provided.</p>

<p class=regulartext>Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS
must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights laws that
prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability,
age and, in some circumstances, religion, conscience, and sex. This
includes ensuring programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency.
The HHS Office for Civil Rights provides guidance on complying with civil
rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see <a
href="https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-providers/provider-obligations/index.html">https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-providers/provider-obligations/index.html</a>
and <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html">http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html</a>.</p>
<p class=regulartext>HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in
scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal
investigator&rsquo;s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements,
and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or
exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications
establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or
safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the
research. For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant
programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section
VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA.</p>
<ul>
<li>
Recipients of FFA must ensure that their programs are accessible
to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS provides guidance to recipients
of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide
meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency.
Please see <a

<p class=regulartext>In accordance with the statutory
provisions contained in Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense
Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), NIH awards will be
subject to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)
requirements. FAPIIS requires Federal award making officials to review and
consider information about an applicant in the designated integrity and performance
system (currently FAPIIS) prior to making an award. An applicant, at its option,
may review information in the designated integrity and performance systems accessible
through FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal agency
previously entered and is currently in FAPIIS. The Federal awarding agency
will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to other information
in FAPIIS, in making a judgement about the applicant&rsquo;s integrity, business ethics,
and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of
risk posed by applicants as described in 45 CFR Part 75.205 Federal awarding
agency review of risk posed by applicants. This provision will apply to all
NIH grants and cooperative agreements except fellowships.</p>
<p class=heading4>Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions of Award</p>
<p class=regulartext>Any supplements to Cooperative Agreements will be subject to
the same Cooperative Agreement terms and conditions as the parent award.</p>
<div class="heading3">3. Reporting</div>
<p class=regulartext>Reporting requirements will be specified in the terms and
conditions of award as applicable to the supplemental activities. In most non-competing
continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement
must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and budget
for the parent award. The progress report must include information about the
activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is not
requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities in the remaining
years of the competitive segment of the grant will depend upon satisfactory review
by the NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent award and the
supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and the
appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort. This information
is submitted with the <a href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/index.htm">Research
Performance Progress Report (RPPR)</a> and financial statements as required in
the <a href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.php?id=11161">NIH
Grants Policy Statement</a>.</p>
<p class=regulartext>The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006
(Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to
report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under
Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable
NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal
Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at <a
href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.php?id=11170">www.fsrs.gov</a>
on all subawards over $25,000. See the <i><a
href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/url_redirect.php?id=11171">NIH Grants
Policy Statement</a></i> for additional information on this reporting requirement.
</p>
<p class=regulartext>In accordance with the regulatory requirements provided at
45 CFR 75.113 and Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75, recipients that have currently
active Federal grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from
all Federal awarding agencies with a cumulative total value greater than
$10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of a Federal
award, must report and maintain the currency of information reported in the
System for Award Management (SAM) about civil, criminal, and administrative
proceedings in connection with the award or performance of a Federal award that
reached final disposition within the most recent five-year period. The recipient
must also make semiannual disclosures regarding such proceedings. Proceedings
information will be made publicly available in the designated integrity and performance
system (currently FAPIIS). This is a statutory requirement under section 872
of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by section
3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted in the designated integrity
and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews
required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available. Full reporting
requirements and procedures are found in Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75 Award
Term and Conditions for Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters.</p>
