Opportunity Summary:
The NIBIB Research Education Programs for Residents and Clinical Fellows (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-167) is an NIH discretionary grant program designed to strengthen research education in areas that align with the mission of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). The main purpose is workforce development: building and improving the pipeline of clinicians who are prepared to contribute to the nation s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. Rather than serving as a traditional research project grant, this R25 mechanism focuses on structured research education activities and hands-on research experiences that complement existing clinical training.
A central emphasis of this announcement is supporting research experiences specifically for medical residents and clinical fellows, with the intention of helping them develop into clinician-scientists. The program is particularly relevant to Radiology, but it is not limited to that specialty. It explicitly includes residents and or fellows from a broad set of NIBIB-relevant clinical programs, such as cardiology, neurology, nuclear medicine, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, radiology, and surgery, among others. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help institutions create or enhance a formal program that gives these trainees meaningful exposure to research, supports their career development, and helps them build the skills and trajectory needed to pursue research-oriented clinical careers.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the Health funding activity category, associated with CFDA 93.286 (Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligible applicants include a range of U.S.-based organizations such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in that specific category). The eligibility scope also highlights several institution types often referenced in federal programs, including HBCUs, TCCUs, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, AANAPISIs, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and foreign components are not allowed, including non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations, consistent with NIH policy as stated in the announcement.
Key timeline and funding details in the source data show that the announcement was posted on April 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2017, and an archive date of October 8, 2017, indicating the opportunity is historical rather than currently open under that specific listing. The listed award ceiling is $70,000. Additional official details and the full program requirements were provided through the NIH Grants Guide page linked in the announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-167.html), and NIH Office of Extramural Research contact emails were included for access or technical issues related to the posting.
