Niddk Education Program Grants (R25): The Education Grant Program at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is a flexible, curriculum-driven program aimed to create educational opportunities that will attract undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to careers in areas of biomedical or behavioral research of particular interest to the NIDDK and to foster their career development. The NIDDK is especially interested in attracting students and postdoctoral fellows from scientific disciplines underrepresented in disease-oriented biomedical research such as engineering, informatics, computer science, and computational sciences, and encouraging them to apply their expertise to research relevant to diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases, digestive diseases and nutrition, obesity research and prevention, and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases. This Program Announcement (PAR) replaces PAR-02-063 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-02-063.html which was published in the NIH Guide on February 14, 2002.The NIDDK Education Program grants (i.e. R25s) support the development and implementation of curriculum-dependent programs that may focus on educational activities before, during or after the completion of a doctoral level degree (e.g. Ph.D., M.D., D.P.H., D.D.S., O.D.) as long as they address a need that is not fulfilled adequately by any other grant mechanism available from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and are dedicated to areas of high priority to the NIDDK. The R25 grant may not be used to conduct traditional biomedical research or as a research training grant. Applicants whose programs cannot meet the Special Requirements stated in these guidelines should refer to the traditional National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional (T32) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-02-109.html or Short-Term (T35) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-027.htmlTraining Grants as possible alternative sources of support.
