Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education - Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education - Private institutions of higher education - For profit organizations other than small businesses - Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Only institutions/organizations funded previously in response to RFA-OD-05-001 are eligible to apply. This is a limited competition FOA. In many cases, it is anticipated that the proposed education program will complement ongoing research training occurring at the applicant institution and that a substantial number of program faculty will have active research projects in which participants may gain relevant experiences consistent with their research interests and goals. Institutions with existing Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grants (e.g., T32) or other federally funded training programs may apply for an education program grant provided that the proposed educational experiences are distinct from those training programs receiving NIH support. Moreover, the R25 mechanism is not intended to support long-term training by NRSA-eligible individuals and may not be used to circumvent or supplement Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA research training mechanisms. If multiple sites are involved in the education program, the applicant institution must be one of these sites for the program. The need for and use of multiple sites must be justified.
Grant Description: Purpose: The OBSSR, NCCAM, NCI, NHLBI, NIAMS, and NICHD invite applications for Research Education Grant (R25) to continue and expand support of schools of medicine or osteopathy interested in enhancing medical education through behavioral and social sciences content and curricula. This FOA has three main objectives: (1) Continue the evaluation, development, refinement, and implementation of enhanced courses, instructional techniques and materials, curricula and education designed during the prior K07 awards; (2) Continue the dissemination of curricula and other products to additional medical schools and to other health care professional schools; and (3) Continue to foster health-related research and careers in behavioral and social science within the setting of schools of medicine and osteopathy. Mechanism of Support: This FOA will use the NIH Education program (R25) grant mechanism. Education programs may not be transferred from one institution to another, unless strongly justified (see Section VI.2). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: The OBSSR, NCCAM, NCI, NHLBI, NIAMS, and NICHD intend to commit $2,115,000 to support a maximum of 9 awards in FY 2011. Budget and Project Period: Budgets for total costs of up to $235,000 per year and a project-duration of up to five years may be requested.
