This NIH Blueprint Neuroscience Department grant is for encouraging and preparing undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds to enter Ph.D. degree programs in the neurosciences. The initiative provides institutional awards to develop comprehensive neuroscience research education programs. These programs are built upon collaborative partnerships integrated across different educational institutions. Each partnership must comprise a research-intensive institution with an established neuroscience program and institution(s) with a substantial enrollment of undergraduates from groups underrepresented in biomedical sciences. The grant supports integrated curriculum, academic enhancement, and research training activities specifically designed to increase participants’ preparation for doctoral neuroscience programs, also fostering early communication with graduate programs. This opportunity utilizes the NIH Research Education (R25) award mechanism.

| Description: | Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov). The goal of this FOA is to encourage and prepare undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds to enter Ph.D. degree programs in the neurosciences. To accomplish this goal, this initiative will provide institutional awards to develop neuroscience research education programs consisting of collaborative partnerships integrated across different educational institutions. Each collaborative research education partnership must have the following components: a) a research-intensive institution that has an established neuroscience or neuroscience related program, b) institution(s) that have a substantial enrollment of undergraduates from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, c) integrated curriculum/academic enhancement and research training activities designed to increase participants preparation to enter doctoral programs in the neurosciences, and d) well-described plans to provide early communication and interaction between participating students and graduate neuroscience programs across the country. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) award mechanism. Research education programs may not be transferred from one institution to another, unless strongly justified (see Section VI.2). |
