Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 17 307
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced this funding opportunity (PA 17-307) to provide administrative supplement grants for existing NIH-supported projects that want to add or strengthen research on dietary supplements and their ingredients. The basic idea is that a current parent award does not have to be about dietary supplements at all, but if the underlying project is relevant, the supplement can be used to incorporate dietary supplement questions into the ongoing work. The scientific emphasis is on understanding how dietary supplements may contribute to health maintenance and disease prevention, including situations where the evidence base is thin, inconsistent, or contested, and where better data are needed to understand both potential benefits and potential risks.
The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) is the key NIH component highlighted in the description, and its interests are intentionally broad. The announcement does not restrict applicants to particular diseases, organ systems, or demographic groups. It supports a wide range of research approaches, including pre-clinical studies, clinical research that can be conducted within the scope of an existing study, behavioral research, and epidemiological analyses. In addition to direct research activities, the FOA also encourages efforts that build future research capacity, meaning research training and workforce-development activities focused on improving the ability of scientists and institutions to study dietary supplements in relation to health outcomes and disease prevention.
In terms of what NIH/ODS is looking for, the highest priority goes to supplement requests that push the field forward in areas where dietary supplement research is currently missing or behind, that clarify gaps and opportunities when findings are mixed or conflicting, that address special or understudied populations where additional evidence is needed, and that focus on how dietary supplement use might help maintain health or reduce the risk of chronic disease. A key limitation is that the FOA explicitly will not support new clinical trials, so proposals need to fit as add-on work to an ongoing funded project rather than launching a brand-new trial infrastructure.
This is a discretionary grant mechanism in the form of administrative supplements, meaning funds are added onto an active award rather than issued as a standalone new project grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $100,000. It was created on June 7, 2017, and the original closing date shown is April 15, 2018.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can hold NIH awards or participate in NIH-funded work. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The announcement also specifically calls out additional eligible categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations).
The funding activity areas associated with this FOA span education, environment, food and nutrition, and health, and it is tied to multiple CFDA program numbers (including 93.113, 93.121, 93.173, 93.213, 93.233, 93.321, 93.351, 93.393, 93.837, 93.838, 93.839, 93.840, 93.846, 93.847, 93.855, 93.856, 93.866, 93.867, and 93.989). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a way for existing NIH projects to quickly and strategically expand into dietary supplement research questions, particularly where the science needs strengthening, the public health relevance is clear, and the work can be done without starting a new clinical trial.Apply for PA 17 307
