NIH - NINDS Diversity Research Education Grants in Neuroscience (R25)
PAR-11-010

Internal Competition Completed

Principal Investigators Selected:

• Philip B. Gorelick, Neurology and Rehabilitation
  

Program Description:

The purpose of the FOA is to invite applications for Diversity Research Education grants whose goals are to support the development and/or implementation of programs to: (1) increase the number of Ph.D.-level research scientists from diverse backgrounds including graduate, post-doctoral and/or junior-faculty career levels; and (2) advance the careers of the participants to the next step in their education. Funding support for the R25 Diversity Research Education Programs should lead to increased recruitment, mentoring, education and retention of researchers from diverse backgrounds in the neuroscience scientific workforce.
 
The NINDS expects applicant institutions to propose programs that will lead to an improvement in the professional development and education of underrepresented individuals in biomedical research. Investigators with creative, innovative ideas for new programs are encouraged to discuss these with NINDS program officials. Examples of programs that are of potential interest to the NINDS include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Programs that target Participants from Diverse Backgrounds
• Programs that target Mentors and Institutional Officials
• Programs that target Health Disparities
• Programs that target Small Business Entry

UIC is restricted to one application.
