This FOA issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Education (R25) applications from institutions/organizations to promote diversity in undergraduate and health professional student populations by providing short-term research education support to stimulate career development in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research. The overall goal of the program is to provide research opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, racial and ethnic minorities, and others who are underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research (e.g., individuals with disabilities), that will significantly contribute to a diverse research workforce in the future. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism. Research 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 estimated funds (total costs) available for the first year of support for the entire program are expected to be $850,000. Up to eight new awards are anticipated, depending on the number of student participants requested and the availability of funds. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. The actual total amount may vary, depending on the response to the FOA and availability of funds.
