Opportunity Summary:
The NIAID Science Education Awards (R25) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-08-003) is a discretionary NIH funding program that supports the development of science education initiatives for K-12 students. The central goal is to fund organizations that can design and deliver educational programs that strengthen science learning, with a particular connection to areas aligned with NIAID interests such as allergy, immunology, transplantation, microbiology, and infectious diseases (CFDA 93.855 and 93.856). A key expectation is broad outreach: projects should be built to reach large numbers of students either directly (for example, through student-facing programs) or indirectly by working through teachers (for example, professional development, classroom-ready modules, or teacher-mediated dissemination). The FOA also emphasizes the use of approaches that can be evaluated, meaning applicants should propose measurable outcomes and practical ways to assess whether the education strategy is working.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The posting date listed is October 2, 2007, with multiple receipt dates for applications rather than a single deadline, and the announcement was ultimately archived on February 7, 2011. While archived status typically indicates the specific FOA is no longer accepting applications under that announcement, the summary details are still useful for understanding the program’s intent and the types of projects NIH sought to support under the R25 science education mechanism at that time.
Eligibility is broad within the United States and includes many types of applicant organizations. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local government entities (such as counties, cities or townships, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, excluding institutions of higher education in those categories as specified), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a range of for-profit entities including small businesses and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply, which means the applicant organization must be a domestic entity even if the project includes broader dissemination goals.
Administratively, the sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide. For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the listed point of contact is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster via FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV. The full FOA was available through the NIH link provided in the source material (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-003.html), which would have contained the detailed requirements for application content, review criteria, allowable costs, and reporting expectations.
