Deadline: May 25, 2024
5 pm
Amount: $150,000 Direct costs per year, for two years. Indirect Cost Limit is 8%
Purpose
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this NCI 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.
To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Curriculum or Methods Development. Applications are encouraged that propose innovative, state-of-the-art programs that address the cause, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, or the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients, in order to advance the NCI mission.
To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:
- Curriculum or Methods Development: Proposed curriculum or methods development activities should have high potential to improve biomedical, behavioral or clinical cancer research education, or involve the development of novel instructional approaches or computer-based tools for cancer research education. Innovative and de novo projects that educate participants on the translational potential of recent advances in cancer research are encouraged. Whereas the proposed activities can provide a foundation for new courses or be integrated into the existing curricula in the grantee institution, it is expected that the curriculum or methods developed can be readily adaptable by the cancer research education community
- The proposed curriculum or methods to be developed should be appropriate for offering to or being used by participant audiences that include biomedical researchers; health care providers; medical, dental, nursing, and other health professional students; graduate students; and/or members of the lay community involved in the dissemination of health information.
- This R25 NOFO provides support for curriculum or methods development projects that may require up to 2 years to develop, test, and prepare for dissemination, prior to being offered to the intended participant audience. It does not support the actual offering of the developed curriculum or methods to identifiable participants at the applicant institution or elsewhere, which may be able to be supported through the companion funding opportunity, PAR-23-276 , Cancer Research Education Grants Program - Courses for Skills Development (R25).
