NIH Call for Proposals: NICHD Research Education Programs (R25) in United States

Deadline: 25 May 2019

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for its “NICHD Research Education Programs (R25)” to support research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NICHD R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.

The NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism is designed to support the development and implementation of creative and innovative research education programs for biomedical, behavioral, and clinical researchers. It encourages applications to develop and conduct short-term research education programs to improve the knowledge and research skills of scientists conducting research in areas relevant to the mission of NICHD, including reproductive, developmental, behavioral, social, and rehabilitative processes that determine the health and well-being of newborns, infants, children, adults, families, and populations.
