Opportunity Summary:
The MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) (R25) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Program. It was created to carry out a legislative mandate aimed at increasing the participation of underrepresented (UR) minority faculty, investigators, and students in biomedical and behavioral research. The larger purpose is not only to grow the number of UR individuals engaged in these research areas, but also to expand access to high-quality research training environments and opportunities at institutions that serve UR populations.
RISE specifically supports institutional research education programs rather than individual fellowships. In practice, that means an eligible college or university applies for funding to build or strengthen structured training and development activities on its campus. The program focus is on helping UR students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences gain stronger preparation, research skills, and academic momentum as they advance toward the Ph.D. pathway in these fields. The emphasis is on skill-building and readiness for doctoral-level study, which can include experiences that increase research competency, exposure to active research environments, and professional development that supports long-term success in research careers.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional emphasis on minority-serving institutions. The opportunity explicitly lists Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) as eligible. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for institutions that may have limited discretionary funds but strong need and strong potential to expand research training capacity for UR students.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number is PAR-10-004, and it falls under the health funding activity category. The associated CFDA number is 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). The announcement was posted and created on October 9, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-004.html.
