Opportunity Summary:
Limited Competition: Administrative Supplements to Enhance Network Capacity: Collaborative Opportunities for the CTSA Program (Admin Supp) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) that provides administrative supplement support to strengthen the overall capacity of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) network. Rather than funding entirely new standalone projects, this opportunity is designed to add targeted resources to existing CTSA hub awards so investigators can accelerate progress on activities that expand the network's ability to develop, test, and spread better ways of doing clinical and translational science.
The core purpose of the supplements is to enhance network capacity by implementing, assessing, and/or disseminating discoveries in clinical and translational science. In practical terms, that can include new or improved methods and approaches (for example, tools, processes, or operational innovations that make translation from discovery to patient impact faster or more reliable), as well as education and training activities that build a stronger translational science workforce. A central theme is moving beyond local, single-site benefits and creating outcomes that are usable, scalable, and meaningful across multiple institutions, ideally becoming practices or resources that other hubs can adopt.
A defining feature of this opportunity is collaboration. Projects are expected to involve investigators from two or more different CTSA hubs, working together within the CTSA network and/or teaming with external partners. The intent is to support cooperative work that tests or spreads promising advances across the network, not just within one institution. That could mean multi-hub implementation of a shared approach, coordinated evaluation of a method in different settings, or network-wide dissemination of an educational or training innovation. External partners may be included when they add expertise, reach, or implementation capacity that helps move the work further or faster, as long as the overall project aligns with CTSA goals.
Because these awards are administrative supplements, the proposed activities must stay within the scope of the approved aims of the parent award. The supplement is meant to extend or enhance the existing CTSA hub program, not redirect it into unrelated territory. NCATS also emphasizes that the work should provide significant advances across the translational science spectrum, meaning applicants should be able to articulate how the supplement will tangibly strengthen translational science capabilities, generate generalizable knowledge, or enable broader adoption of effective practices across the CTSA network.
The opportunity is issued as a discretionary grant under HHS/NIH, with a Funding Opportunity Number of PA 16 328 and CFDA numbers 93.350. The listed award ceiling is $300,000. The original and current closing date shown in the source information is March 1, 2019, indicating this specific notice reflects a time-limited competition window. Applicants considering similar supplement opportunities typically need to confirm current availability and any updated instructions through NIH/NCATS and the parent award’s grants management contacts.
Eligibility is broad in the source listing and includes many organization types, such as state, county, and local governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and other entities as allowed by the notice. In real-world practice for CTSA administrative supplements, the key functional requirement is usually that the supplement is requested in connection with an eligible, active parent award and that the collaborating structure fits the program’s expectations for multi-hub participation and network impact.
Overall, this funding opportunity targets practical, collaborative work that helps the CTSA program operate more effectively as a national network. It supports add-on investments that allow teams to take useful translational science innovations and put them into action at multiple hubs, evaluate whether they work across settings, and distribute the resulting methods, tools, and training approaches so the broader community can benefit.
FAQs: Limited Competition Administrative Supplements to Enhance Network Capacity (CTSA Program)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) titled "Limited Competition: Administrative Supplements to Enhance Network Capacity: Collaborative Opportunities for the CTSA Program (Admin Supp)." It provides administrative supplement support to strengthen the overall capacity of the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) network.
What is the main goal of these administrative supplements?
The core purpose is to enhance CTSA network capacity by implementing, assessing, and/or disseminating discoveries in clinical and translational science. The emphasis is on work that improves how clinical and translational science is done and that can be used across multiple institutions, not only at a single site.
Does this opportunity fund brand-new, standalone research projects?
No. This opportunity is designed to add targeted resources to existing CTSA hub awards. It is meant to extend or enhance the current CTSA hub program rather than create a new, separate project that is disconnected from the parent award.
What kinds of activities can the supplement support?
Supported activities can include implementing, evaluating, and/or disseminating new or improved methods and approaches in clinical and translational science, such as tools, processes, or operational innovations that make translation from discovery to patient impact faster or more reliable. It can also include education and training activities intended to strengthen the translational science workforce.
What does "enhance network capacity" mean in practical terms?
It means building capabilities that improve the CTSA program as a network. Examples described in the opportunity include multi-hub use of shared methods, coordinated testing of an approach in different settings, or network-wide dissemination of a tool, process improvement, or training innovation that other hubs can adopt.
Is collaboration required?
Yes. A defining feature is collaboration. Projects are expected to involve investigators from two or more different CTSA hubs working together within the CTSA network and/or teaming with external partners when appropriate.
How many CTSA hubs must participate?
The expectation is investigators from two or more different CTSA hubs. The opportunity emphasizes multi-hub participation and outcomes that are meaningful across multiple institutions.
Can external partners be included in the project?
Yes. External partners may be included when they add expertise, reach, or implementation capacity that helps move the work further or faster, as long as the overall project aligns with CTSA goals and the supplement remains tied to the parent award.
What is the difference between local benefit and network-wide impact?
Local benefit is when the results mainly help a single institution. Network-wide impact means outcomes are usable, scalable, and meaningful across multiple institutions, ideally becoming practices or resources that other CTSA hubs can adopt.
Do proposed supplement activities need to align with the parent award?
Yes. Because these are administrative supplements, the proposed activities must stay within the scope of the approved aims of the parent award. The supplement should extend or enhance the existing CTSA hub program, not redirect it into unrelated work.
What does NCATS emphasize about the expected impact of the work?
NCATS emphasizes that the work should provide significant advances across the translational science spectrum. Applicants should be able to explain how the supplement will tangibly strengthen translational science capabilities, generate generalizable knowledge, or enable broader adoption of effective practices across the CTSA network.
What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed?
The listed award ceiling is $300,000.
What agency and mechanism is this issued under?
It is issued as a discretionary grant under HHS/NIH, with NCATS as the sponsoring NIH center.
