Eligibility: Applicants must hold an active grant in one of the activity codes listed below, and the research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the competitive segment of the active award. Recipients of the following activity codes are eligible for the award: K00, K01, K07, K08, K22, K23, K25, K38, K43, K76, and K99/R00 (on the mentored K99 portion of the K99/R00).

Description: This supplement program is intended to ensure continuity of research among recipients of mentored career development (K) awards by providing supplemental research support to help sustain the investigator’s research during critical life events. Childbirth, adoption, and primary caregiving responsibilities of an ailing spouse, child, partner, or a member of the immediate family during the project period are critical life events that would qualify for consideration. The administrative supplement budget is limited to 1 year. Flexible use of supplemental funds is highly encouraged to support successful research within the scope of the parent project, including supported effort of additional personnel, computational services, supplies and equipment to sustain the research of the PD/PI of the individual K award during a critical life event. Supplement funds may not be used for PI salary support during the regular or extended period of the grant.
