Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Education Program supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this research education program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs; help recruit individuals with backgrounds in specific specialties or disciplines to research careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences; and foster a deeper understanding of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research and its implications. To accomplish this far-reaching goal, this opportunity will primarily support Mentoring Activities, including networks and programs, designed to enhance the quality of mentorship. Programs focused on mentoring activities may incorporate elements such as research, courses, outreach, curriculum and methods to prepare participants for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. Grant authorities that allow NIH to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
