Opportunity Summary:
The Initiative to Maximize Research Education in Genomics Courses (R25) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-012) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity in the health category under CFDA 93.172 (Human Genome Research). Run through the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), it was designed to fund short, advanced-level educational courses focused on spreading state-of-the-art genomics knowledge and skills. The core purpose was to support courses that help researchers and trainees learn and adopt new or emerging techniques, methods, and analytical approaches that align with NHGRI's mission in human genome research. In practical terms, the program targeted intensive, higher-level training experiences rather than long, degree-granting programs, with an emphasis on rapidly disseminating cutting-edge genomics tools and concepts to the broader scientific community.
The scope of activities emphasized course-based research education, meaning structured short courses that could include hands-on training, workshops, or other concentrated instructional formats aimed at improving participants' ability to generate, interpret, and use genomic data. While the announcement summary does not list specific scientific topics, the intent was clearly to keep pace with fast-moving developments in genomics, including novel laboratory techniques, computational methods, and modern data analysis strategies. The overarching expectation was that these courses would strengthen the research workforce by making advanced genomics capabilities more accessible and more quickly adopted across institutions and disciplines.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), state governments, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions. The opportunity also allowed applications from small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. In addition, the eligibility language explicitly included a range of designated institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions could not apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy were not allowed.
From an administrative standpoint, the program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted and created on October 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2016, and it was archived on June 7, 2016, indicating it is no longer open for new applications under that specific announcement. The official announcement link was provided through the NIH Grants Guide (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-012.html). For technical issues accessing the announcement or resolving linking problems, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
