Grant Description: -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to stimulate research in fundamental aspects of developmental biology at educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees, but that have not been major recipients of NIH support. In order to ensure that the field of developmental biology will attract the best and brightest minds, potential students need to be exposed to the excitement of the research enterprise at an early stage in their training. These AREA grants are intended to support small-scale developmental biology research projects proposed by faculty members of eligible, domestic institutions including many small primarily undergraduate and historically minority institutions. The intention is to create research opportunities for developmental biologists who otherwise would be unlikely to participate in NIH-funded research. Goals of this FOA are to strengthen the developmental biology research environment at the grantee institutions, foster the development of novel or underutilized experimental model systems, and to motivate students through exposure and participation in research related to NICHD s goal of understanding the etiology of structural birth defects. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) R15 award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Numbe
