The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports
research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The
overarching goal of this NHGRI R25 program is to support educational
activities that encourage
undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups
underrepresented in the biomedical workforce, to pursue further training
and careers in the scientific, medical, ethical, social and/or legal
areas of genomics research.
To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:
Research Experiences
Courses for Skills Development
This Genome Research Experiences to Attract Talented Undergraduates
into the Genomic Field to Promote Diversity (GREAT) Program will support
collaborative institutional partnerships that provide research
education programs for undergraduates enrolled at minority-serving
institutions (MSIs) or Institutional Development Award (IDeA)-eligible
institutions. A partnership will include a MSI or IDeA-eligible
institution, and one or more research-intensive institutions or
organizations with a suitable research base for graduate-level training
in scientific areas of interest to NHGRI.
Anticipated funding: up to $350,000. An
applicant may request direct costs of up to $350,000 per year. Because
the nature and scope of the proposed research education program will
vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size of
each award will also vary.
The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed 5 years.
