Administrative Supplements for Research on Pathobiological Mechanisms of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) and is seeking applications for administrative supplements to current active NIH grants to address the need to identify the pathobiological mechanisms related to post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Supported research is expected to inform the diagnosis, prevention, mitigation and/or treatment of PASC through elucidating the pathogenesis of PASC and the identification of associated mechanistic pathways.

A one-year project period is strongly preferred. Up to 2 years of support may be requested with compelling justifications. The application budget is not expected to exceed a maximum direct cost of $750,ooo per year. The NIH anticipates funding up to 25 awards.

For the purpose of this NOSI, eligible activity codes for applications are limited to the following: U01, U19, R01, P01, R33, R61/R33, UG3/UH3.

Applications are due by January 24, 2022 by 5:00 p.m. local time of the applicant's organization.

IMPORTANT: For funding consideration, all applicants must designate “NOT-OD-22-038” (without quotation marks) in the Agency Routing Identifier field (box 4B) of the SF424 (R&R) Form. Applications without this information in box 4B will not be considered for this initiative.
