Grant Description: Purpose. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to provide support for clinical scientists from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds, disadvantaged backgrounds or clinical scientists with disabilities to conduct small research projects in the area of diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, digestive diseases, hepatology, obesity, nutrition, kidney, urology, or hematology. The NIDDK and the ODS recognize the need to promote diversity in the health-related workforce by increasing the number of highly trained clinical researchers from diverse backgrounds conducting research in areas of importance to the NIDDK.

The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. Mechanism of Support.
