Opportunity Summary:
The NIDDK Research Education Program Grants for Summer Research Experiences (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-140) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant program designed to strengthen research education in areas that fall within the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) mission. The central aim is workforce development: supporting educational activities that complement or enhance the preparation of people who will help meet national biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. In practical terms, the funding is intended to back well-structured summer research experiences that immerse participants in NIDDK-relevant research topics, giving them hands-on exposure to research environments, methods, and career pathways.
This program uses the NIH R25 Research Education mechanism, which is specifically meant to support organized educational efforts rather than traditional hypothesis-driven research projects. Applicants are expected to propose creative, structured summer programs that provide meaningful research experiences tied to NIDDK scientific areas, which include diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases, digestive diseases, nutritional science, and kidney/urologic/hematologic diseases. While the announcement text provided here is brief, the intent is clear: the institute wants programs that actively build research skills and research interest through mentored summer engagement, helping develop a stronger pipeline of future researchers and research-capable professionals in fields NIDDK supports.
Key administrative details frame how the opportunity works. The program was posted on March 13, 2015, and the final listed closing date was May 7, 2018, with an archive date of June 7, 2018, meaning the specific announcement is no longer active but remains available as a reference. The award ceiling is listed as $100,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations to apply. The funding activity category is listed under Food and Nutrition Health, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 93.847, which corresponds to Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and public entities, reflecting the workforce-development purpose of the program. Eligible applicants include state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special district governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, regional organizations, and a wide range of nonprofit and higher-education institutions (both public and private). For-profit organizations are eligible as well, including small businesses and other for-profit entities. The eligibility language also explicitly includes many institution types that commonly participate in research education and training initiatives, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), along with faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, there are clear geographic and foreign involvement restrictions: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy for this opportunity.
For those seeking the original full announcement text and required application elements, NIH provided an official link to the program announcement: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-140.html. NIH also listed contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster addresses for technical access issues related to the online posting. Overall, this grant opportunity was built to fund summer-based research education programs that expand access to mentored research experiences and strengthen the pipeline of investigators and research-ready professionals working in NIDDK-relevant scientific areas.
