Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 18 851
This funding opportunity (PA 18 851) is an NIH administrative supplement designed to strengthen translational research teams within existing NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) institutions. The central idea is to pair two early-career investigators who bring complementary strengths: a junior quantitative researcher with a background in engineering, computational science, or the physical sciences, and a junior clinician-scientist who is already supported as a KL2 scholar at an active CTSA program (referenced under PAR-15-304 and PAR-18-464). By intentionally building this partnership, the program aims to accelerate the movement of quantitatively driven innovations into clinically relevant applications that align with the mission of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), which broadly focuses on biomedical imaging, bioengineering, and related technologies that improve diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes.
The supplement specifically funds the quantitative team member, referred to as the NIBIB Translational Research Scholar. That support is conditional on the scholar actively collaborating with the KL2 clinician-scientist partner. Importantly, the clinician-scientist is not paid through this supplement; they remain supported through the parent KL2 award for the entire supplement period. Team formation and oversight are anchored within the CTSA hub: both the quantitative scholar and the clinician-scientist partner are selected by the KL2 Program Director/Principal Investigator (PI). The KL2 PI plays a hands-on role in helping the two investigators shape a well-defined translational project, drawing on guidance from both basic science and clinical/translational mentors. Once the project is developed and the team is in place, the KL2 PI submits the administrative supplement request under this announcement, meaning the request is tied directly to an existing, active CTSA/KL2 structure rather than being a standalone, new grant application.
From an eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is open to U.S.-based higher education institutions and similar organizations that already hold the relevant parent CTSA/KL2 awards. Eligible applicant types explicitly include public or state-controlled universities and private institutions of higher education, and the announcement highlights inclusion of institutions such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). At the same time, there are clear restrictions on foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them) are not permitted.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary NIH grant mechanism and is listed under CFDA 93.286 within the health funding activity area. The announcement was created on 2018-07-05, with an original closing date of 2018-11-05. The title notes that clinical trials are optional, which generally signals that the proposed translational project may include a clinical trial component if appropriate, but it is not required to meet the intent of the supplement. Overall, the opportunity is structured to leverage the CTSA training and mentorship environment to produce genuinely collaborative, clinically grounded translational work driven by quantitative innovation, while using the administrative supplement pathway to add targeted support without creating an entirely separate funding track.Apply for PA 18 851
