NCCIH Grantees: Using Administrative Supplements To Fund Additional Research on Pain or Opioid Use DisorderYisong Wang, Ph.D. June 29, 2018 Administrative supplements are one mechanism that National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) grantees can use to pursue research and bring laser focus to critical public health issues within the scope of a parent award. An administrative supplement is a noncompeting award (evaluated by National Institutes of Health staff, not peer review) that provides additional funding to a currently funded grant to meet increased costs that are within the scope of the approved project but that were unforeseen when the new or competing renewal application was awarded. NCCIH encourages current grantees to consider whether additional funding could be used to address the current crisis related to pain and opioid use disorder (OUD). In line with the NCCIH 2016 Strategic Plan, I want to remind NCCIH grantees that our Center encourages a focus on research related to pain and/or OUD in the context of complementary and integrative health approaches. Commonly studied approaches include, but are not limited to natural products (e.g., herbal medicine, probiotics, dietary supplements, and special diets) and mind and body approaches (e.g., acupuncture, hypnosis, manual therapies, meditation, yoga, music and other art therapies, tai chi, qi gong). Interested in applying for an administrative supplement? Contact your designated NCCIH program director (for your parent grant) right away and discuss whether your proposed work would be suitable. |
