Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Program FY 2024 (P2C Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research.
To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:
- Courses for Skills Development
- Research Experiences
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DEM).
These post-baccalaureate research programs will incorporate extensive research experiences and well-designed courses for skills development to prepare recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups, to transition into and complete rigorous, research-focused biomedical doctoral degree programs (e.g., PhD or MD/PhD).
The long-term goal of post-baccalaureate participants admitted to the program should be pursuing a career focused on DEM-related research.
Eligible applicants for the R25 must be research-intensive doctoral degree-granting institutions with a research base in DEM science of at least $3 million in direct costs of peer-reviewed research projects, and research opportunities for students admitted to the program must be in DEM science.

G. Harold & Leila Y. Mathers Foundation Grants
The G. Harold & Leila Y. Mathers Foundation seeks to advance knowledge in the life sciences by supporting scientific research that will benefit humanity. The Foundation primarily supports basic science, ideally with broad translational applications. It tends not to fund overly disease-focused research. Immunology, microbiome, genomics, structural biology, cellular physiology, and neuroscience are some noteworthy examples of current research support.
Foundation Guidelines:
· Grants are typically up to $750,000, inclusive of 10% indirect costs.
· Grant duration must be 3 years.
· The budget should be reasonable (based on the aims of the project, the number of researchers involved, type of animal models used, etc.).
· Grant funds may be used only to support the actual investigation (no capital equipment).
· Requests for funding previously federally supported research, and/or applications pending federal approval will not be accorded priority consideration.
· The Foundation does not support clinical trials or drug discovery.
· The Foundation will not support projects which it considers pre-clinical drug development.
· Covid-19 related research projects (aims or sub-aims) and medical imaging technology related projects will not be considered for support.
· LOIs or Formal Proposals that have been declined should not be resubmitted at a later date for consideration.

1. EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (National Science Foundation)
The Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) fulfills the mandate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to promote scientific progress nationwide. Through this program, NSF facilitates the establishment of partnerships among academic institutions, government, industry, and non-profit sectors that are designed to promote sustainable improvements in the research infrastructure, Research and Development (R&D) capacity, and R&D competitiveness of EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions (i.e., states, territories, and commonwealths).
The E-CORE RII program supports jurisdictions in building capacity in one or more targeted research infrastructure cores that underlie the jurisdiction's research ecosystem. Based on the evidence-based and self-identified need of the jurisdiction, capacity building supported by E-CORE RII may include (but is not limited to) development, enhancement, and/or sustainability of: jurisdiction-wide research administration; research facilities; higher education pathways; STEM education (K-16) pathways; broadening participation; workforce development; national and global partnerships; community engagement and outreach; economic development and use-inspired research; and/or early career research trainee pathways.
E-CORE RII projects must be designed to support the sustainability of the infrastructure core(s) beyond the award period. In E-CORE RII's support of one or more research infrastructure cores in an EPSCoR-eligible jurisdiction, the program will also support the development and growth of new jurisdictional networks, and the leveraging of existing jurisdictional networks, that can drive demonstrable and sustainable impact to advance the jurisdiction-wide research ecosystem.
Through the fostering of STEM research ecosystems and research capacity pathways across institution types and sectors in a jurisdiction, E-CORE RII aims to support jurisdiction-wide research infrastructure cores based on jurisdictional variability.
A jurisdiction's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research ecosystem encompasses all new and ongoing interactions among its research environment, researchers, stakeholders, and STEM research activities to improve knowledge, or contribute to end-use or societal impacts in the jurisdiction.
