Diversity supplements are administrative supplements sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). They are intended to improve the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting post-baccalaureate, pre-doctoral students, post-doctorates, and eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related research. This supplement opportunity is also available to Program Directors(s)/Principal Investigator(s) of research grants who are or become disabled and need additional support to accommodate their disability in order to continue to work on the research project.
The most recent commitment to this funding was under program announcement PA-21-071 (opens in new window) which runs through May 8, 2023. Refer to the new Managing Diversity Supplements guide for award administration guidelines, including how to identify diversity supplements recorded in UCSF’s research administration systems.
