Urgent Competitive Revision to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Urgent Supplement Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering an urgent competitive revision to existing NIH grants and cooperative agreements. This urgent supplement, which allows for an optional clinical trial, is aimed at Principal Investigators who currently hold certain types of NIH research grants. Details of these specific grants are provided in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

The objective of this revision is to avail additional funding in order to respond promptly to a specific public health crisis. This scenario may not have been anticipated at the time when the new or renewal application was made, or when the grant progress report for non-competing continuation support was submitted.

To apply for this urgent competitive revision, submissions should be made directly to the NIH awarding component that is stipulated on the Notice of Award (NoA), attached to the most recent parent award.
