Funding Opportunity: NIH Research Education Program – Research Experiences (Parent R25 – Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Introduction
The overarching goal of the Research Education program is to: Support educational activities that complement and/or enhance training of a workforce to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs; Help recruit individuals with specific specialty or disciplinary backgrounds to research careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences; and Foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support educational activities with a primary focus on: Research Experiences.
Proposed programs should provide mentored research experiences as part of a comprehensive program based on educational practices designed to stimulate the interest, skills and knowledge base of participants. In addition to providing mentored research experiences, programs are expected to include complementary activities appropriate to the educational stage of program participants that support the participants' scientific development, such as scientific writing and presentation skills, and instruction to enhance rigor and reproducibility in research.
Because of the individual Institute, Center, and Office (ICO) program differences in ICO research education funding considerations, prospective applicants should consult the NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices website to make sure that their application is appropriate for the requirements of one of the participating NIH ICOs.
