The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences for high school or undergraduate students or science teachers during the summer academic break.
09/07/2022 $100,000 To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:
Research Experiences: Create educational activities during the summer academic break. For example, for undergraduate students: to provide hands-on exposure to research, to reinforce their intent to graduate with a science degree, and/or to prepare them for graduate school admissions and/or careers in research; for high school and college science teachers: to enhance their science teaching.
Support for science teachers at the K-12 and college level will be limited to those programs with a clear plan for how teachers will utilize their summer experience in their teaching during the school year.
Applications that demonstrate the potential to impact students and teachers from diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged.
The proposed program needs to fit with the mission of the participating IC that the application is being submitted to and should not have a general STEM focus.
