Why are only R01s and R21s eligible for administrative supplements with ARRA funds? Why are Program Project grants no longer eligible for administrative supplements with ARRA funds?
A11. As the NHLBI has continued to review and assess its options for investing wisely the resources being made available to the Institute under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), we have realized that we will only be able to allocate a relatively small share of those resources to administrative supplements, which means that we will be making a limited number of Administrative Supplement awards. By restricting the availability of supplements to R01s and R21s and announcing our intention to give priority to requests from principal investigators who qualified as Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators for their current awards, we believe that we will be not only focusing the opportunity upon individuals whose careers are at the formative stage but also saving large numbers of our grantees from what would be for many of them an unproductive expenditure of their time.
