| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Only institutions/organizations funded previously in response to RFA-OD-05-001 are eligible to apply. This is a limited competition FOA. In many cases, it is anticipated that the proposed education program will complement ongoing research training occurring at the applicant institution and that a substantial number of program faculty will have active research projects in which participants may gain relevant experiences consistent with their research interests and goals. Institutions with existing Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grants (e.g., T32) or other federally funded training programs may apply for an education program grant provided that the proposed educational experiences are distinct from those training programs receiving NIH support. Moreover, the R25 mechanism is not intended to support long-term training by NRSA-eligible individuals and may not be used to circumvent or supplement Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA research training mechanisms. If multiple sites are involved in the education program, the applicant institution must be one of these sites for the program. The need for and use of multiple sites must be justified. |
