Diversity Supplements
NIH Diversity Supplements attract disabled, disadvantaged or underrepresented minority trainees to biomedical research careers. The supplements also are a great way to obtain added resources for funded research projects. Applications for Diversity Supplements:
- Can be submitted by the Principal Investigator of many existing NIH-funded grants or contracts
- Are short and easy to write
- Can be approved by NIH Project Officers and are supported using funds specifically set-aside for this purpose
- Often have a quick review, no set deadline, and a relatively high probability of funding.
