These administrative awards are also known as Diversity Supplements. Diversity Supplements provide additional funding to eligible, funded NIH grants enabling principal investigators to fill crucial roles on research teams with diverse investigators—from high school through junior faculty career level—who have a demonstrated interest in research. The GRANTWISE Seminar Series (GRANT Writing and Information Sessions for Enhancing Knowledge About Grant Elements) provides grantsmanship tips that are applicable to all applications, as well as an overview of NIH grant opportunities that are specific to ESI faculty and trainees. This session will provide an overview of the application process for Diversity Supplements. CUIMC faculty who were previous awardees will also share insights from successful applications for the award. This session is intended for CUIMC faculty and investigators of any stage who are interested in getting to know more about this funding mechanism.
