This grant, the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA), is designed to foster small-scale biomedical research at institutions primarily focused on undergraduate education. Its core purpose is to provide valuable research experiences for undergraduate students and to significantly enhance the overall research environment at these eligible institutions. To qualify, institutions must award baccalaureate science degrees and have historically received less than $6 million annually in total NIH support for at least four of the last seven fiscal years. This initiative aims to broaden the reach of NIH funding, supporting institutions that are crucial for developing the next generation of biomedical researchers through direct, hands-on experience and improved research infrastructure.
