Archived: Got Questions About Administrative Supplements?

By Laurie Tompkins
Are you thinking about applying for an administrative supplement for your NIGMS-funded grant? Before you apply, check out our new administrative supplements Web site, which focuses on administrative supplements to address unforeseen circumstances or opportunities. It answers such questions as:
  • What types of unforeseen circumstances or opportunities qualify?
  • Why should I contact my program director before working on a supplement application?
  • When should I submit my application?
In addition to addressing these and other questions, the site also provides links to information about other NIGMS-funded supplements (e.g., workforce diversity, research career re-entry and collaborative science) that can help you determine which type would best meet your needs.
