Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 18 751
The grant opportunity titled "Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology Research to Address Health Disparities in the U.S. (Admin Supp Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is published as Funding Opportunity Number PA 18 751 and falls under the health funding activity category (CFDA 93.866). The central purpose of the announcement is to make administrative supplement funding available for research that strengthens and expands existing aging-related projects, specifically to address health disparities in the United States, with a clear emphasis on geriatrics and clinical gerontology.
This is not a stand-alone new research grant in the usual sense. Because it is an administrative supplement, the intent is typically to add targeted support to an already funded NIH aging research award so the existing work can incorporate, extend, or accelerate research aims that directly relate to disparities in health outcomes among older adults. In practice, these supplements are often used to deepen the disparity-related components of ongoing studies, such as improving the inclusion of underrepresented populations, adding analyses that examine differences in outcomes by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography, disability status, or other disparity-relevant factors, or enhancing the clinical gerontology and geriatrics focus where the funded parent project can logically support those additions.
A key restriction is captured in the title: clinical trials are not allowed under this supplement opportunity. That means the supplement funds are intended for research activities that do not meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial, such as observational studies, secondary data analyses, mechanistic or behavioral research that is not interventional, methods development, or other non-trial human subjects research that fits within the scope of the parent award and NIH policies. Applicants would need to structure proposed supplement activities so they do not introduce a prohibited clinical trial component.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations that commonly participate in federally funded health research. Eligible applicants listed 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 Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education where applicable); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as described in the FOA text. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that geriatrics and gerontology research addressing disparities can be performed by universities, health systems, community-based organizations, tribal entities, and other research-capable institutions, often in partnership with the communities most affected by inequities in aging-related health outcomes.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $45,500 and anticipates about 4 awards. That ceiling signals modest, targeted funding intended to support discrete, well-justified additions to an existing project rather than large expansions or new full-scale studies. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2018, with an original closing date of July 16, 2018, indicating this particular announcement cycle was time-limited; administrative supplement programs may be reissued or updated over time, but the dates provided describe this specific posting.
Overall, the FOA is best understood as a focused NIH mechanism to quickly bolster ongoing aging research so it can more directly confront health disparities affecting older adults, especially through geriatrics and clinical gerontology lenses. The practical takeaway is that an eligible organization with an appropriate active NIH aging-related award could seek a relatively small amount of supplemental funding to add disparity-focused research elements that are feasible within the parent project period, align tightly with the existing aims, and do not involve conducting a clinical trial.Apply for PA 18 751
