This Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) is designed to fund small-scale research projects primarily at undergraduate-focused institutions. Its core purpose is to provide valuable biomedical research experiences for undergraduate students, simultaneously enhancing the overall research environment at these academic settings. The grant aims to support institutions that traditionally receive limited funding from the NIH, specifically those with baccalaureate science degree programs and an average NIH support below $6 million total costs per year in at least four of the past seven fiscal years. By fostering research at these institutions, the award cultivates future scientists and strengthens the national research infrastructure.
