Opportunity Summary:
The NIDDK Short Term Education Program for Underrepresented Persons (STEP UP) (R25) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity that supports institutions in running and evaluating a structured, short-term summer research education program. The core purpose is to expand access to research training and strengthen the pipeline of future scientists by offering a ten to twelve week summer experience for high school and undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds that are underrepresented in research fields connected to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The program is national in scope and is focused on hands-on research education and training that aligns with NIDDK mission areas, including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and a broad range of disorders and organ systems such as digestive and liver diseases, urologic conditions, kidney diseases, and hematologic diseases.
This opportunity is issued as a discretionary grant under the NIH R25 education program mechanism, which is commonly used to support educational activities that complement and enhance formal training in the health sciences. Applications are expected from institutions capable of delivering a cohesive summer research experience, meaning applicants should be prepared to recruit eligible students, place them into meaningful research and educational activities, provide appropriate mentorship and oversight, and then assess how well the program meets its goals. A key element of this FOA is not only implementation but also evaluation, so the expectation is that the applicant organization will track outcomes and use evaluation findings to improve program quality and demonstrate impact on participants.
The funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-11-011) was posted and created on May 11, 2011, with an original and current application closing date of July 29, 2011. The program was archived on August 29, 2011. The estimated total funding amount listed is $1,250,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as specified), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Governmental units such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities are also listed as eligible. The FOA further clarifies additional eligible applicants, including historically underrepresented and community-serving institutions and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations are included among eligible applicants as well. Non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, so the supported training and program activities must be carried out within allowable domestic parameters.
The awarding agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.847, which corresponds to Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research. The activity category is listed under Food and Nutrition and Health, reflecting the strong overlap between NIDDK mission areas and nutrition/metabolic health research.
