Grant Description

Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, solicits Research Education (R25) grant applications from institutions/organizations to serve as the Coordination Core (CC) for the Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (PRIDE). This FOA runs parallel with a separate FOA that solicits the applications for five Summer Institutes (See RFA-HL-10-019). The Institutes are designed to enable faculty and scientists from diverse backgrounds to further develop their research skills and knowledge, enhancing their career development as faculty members or scientists. The primary goal of PRIDE is to encourage scientists and research-oriented faculty from diverse backgrounds to further develop their research skills and gain experience in advanced methods and experimental approaches in basic and applied sciences relevant to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. Ultimately, these enhanced skills will allow them to compete for external funding for scientific research in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Among other tasks, the CC solicited by this FOA (RFA HL-10-028) will facilitate coordination of education and evaluation activities between and among Summer Institute awardees and the NHLBI and provide support for candidate selection, program-wide organization, and identification and training of mentors. In addition the CC will plan, arrange, and support annual meetings and PD/PI meetings for the program. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism. Research education programs may not be transferred from one institution to another, unless strongly justified (see Section VI.2). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NHLBI intends to commit up to $270,000 in total costs in FY2010 to fund one Coordination Core in response to this FOA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
