Opportunity Summary:
The Educational Programs for Population Research (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 06 507) is a National Institutes of Health grant program designed to support research education activities that align with the mission of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The focus is population research and population science, specifically work that helps explain the processes shaping population size, growth, composition, and distribution, along with the determinants and real-world consequences of those population processes. Rather than funding a traditional research project, this program uses the NIH Research Education (R25) mechanism to build skills, strengthen training environments, and expand the pipeline of researchers prepared to do high-quality population-related science.
The FOA emphasizes educational efforts that advance three core objectives. First, it aims to enhance the development of interdisciplinary scientists, meaning programs are expected to help learners work across fields and integrate perspectives from multiple disciplines relevant to population research. Second, it encourages educational activities that facilitate interdisciplinary studies by improving the dissemination and practical use of existing population data sets, which can include helping participants find, access, manage, and analyze established data resources already available to the research community. Third, it supports advancing the adoption of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, signaling that strong applications will likely provide structured learning opportunities in modern analytic techniques, study design, measurement, data interpretation, and mixed-method approaches that are commonly needed in population research.
Eligibility to apply is broad across U.S.-based organizations, including private and public institutions of higher education, state governments, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, with additional categories possible as clarified in the full announcement. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, but eligible federal agencies may apply, and faith-based or community-based organizations are also allowed. The FOA allows an applicant organization to submit more than one application as long as each proposed program is scientifically distinct, and it expects the applicant institution to show a real institutional commitment, including leadership support and dedicated faculty time to develop and run the program.
The program is aimed at supporting participants across a wide career span, from upper-division undergraduates through postdoctoral scholars and new investigators. Participants must be U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals, or lawful permanent residents; individuals on temporary or student visas cannot be supported. The opportunity is intended for people who have an interest in population research or population science, including trainees coming from outside traditional population fields if they are entering areas with strong potential for interdisciplinary collaboration with population scientists.
Two application components are explicitly required and treated as essential for review: a plan for Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research and a formal evaluation plan. Applications that do not include these sections may be delayed or not reviewed, which signals that NIH expects programs not only to teach content but also to demonstrate ethical training and show how the educational activities will be assessed for quality and outcomes.
In terms of funding and timing, awards under this FOA are discretionary and contingent on the availability of funds and the receipt of enough meritorious applications. The FOA had multiple receipt dates, with posting and closing information indicating it was active during the 2006 to 2009 period (Posted August 4, 2006; current closing date listed as September 7, 2009; archive date October 7, 2009). The associated CFDA number is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Overall, PA 06 507 supports structured educational programs that strengthen interdisciplinary population research capacity, promote better use of existing population data, and improve methodological training across quantitative and qualitative approaches, while requiring a clear plan for responsible research conduct and a credible evaluation strategy to document program effectiveness.
