Grant Description

Purpose. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is committed to promoting diversity in the biomedical workforce. To address this need, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), is soliciting applications that propose research partnerships between faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and faculty at academic institutions with established reproductive science research programs to form the new Cooperative Research Partnerships to Promote Workforce Diversity in the Reproductive Sciences (CPDR). Partnering investigators will also be responsible for providing CPDR-related research experiences to a diverse cadre of undergraduate students (see Section III.3). Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Cooperative Research Project (U01) grant mechanism. The CPDR will be funded by separate awards to partnering institutions. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD intends to commit approximately $1.2 million in total costs [direct plus facilities and administrative (F and A) costs] for this initiative in FY 2010 to fund up to two partnerships (up to four awards).
