Opportunity Summary:
The NINDS Research Education Programs for Residents and Fellows (R25) funding opportunity (PAR-13-384) is an NIH grant program designed to help institutions build or strengthen structured research education experiences for clinical residents and fellows who are interested in becoming physician-scientists. The central goal is to create formal programs that give trainees meaningful exposure to neuroscience-related research, improve their research skills and literacy, and support a pipeline from clinical training into long-term research careers that align with the mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). In practice, this means supporting organized educational activities and mentored research opportunities that can be integrated into residency and fellowship training in ways that make research careers more realistic and sustainable for clinicians.
The opportunity is aimed at institutions and organizations that can run a cohesive research education program rather than funding individual trainee research projects in isolation. Applications are expected to describe how the proposed program will develop and/or implement research education and preparation activities tailored to residents and fellows. While the announcement text provided here does not list specific required components, the intent of an NIH R25 in this context is typically to support a defined program structure: recruitment and selection of participants, a mentored research experience within NINDS-relevant areas, research skills development (for example, experimental design, data analysis, responsible conduct of research, and scientific communication), career development guidance, and program evaluation metrics that show whether the training is working (such as participant publications, presentations, subsequent research training, or pursuit of research-oriented faculty roles).
Leadership requirements are specific: the Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) must hold a staff appointment in a Department of Neurology, Neurosurgery, or Pathology. The participant population is also clearly defined. Trainees supported through the program must be clinical residents or fellows, typically drawn from neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, anesthesiology, or emergency medicine, and their research activities must fall within the NINDS scientific mission. That mission broadly covers research on neurological disorders and stroke across basic, translational, and clinical domains, so proposed training experiences should be grounded in neuroscience and neurological disease research rather than unrelated clinical research areas.
A major emphasis of the announcement is workforce diversity. NIH highlights an ongoing need to broaden participation in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences research workforce, and explicitly encourages applicant institutions to recruit and support individuals from groups that are underrepresented in these fields, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and individuals with disabilities. While the FOA does not frame this as a quota, it signals that strong applications should treat inclusive recruitment, supportive training environments, and equitable access to mentorship as a real program priority rather than an afterthought.
In terms of eligibility, a wide range of domestic U.S. organizations can apply, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The eligibility language also explicitly calls out several institution types as eligible, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed under this announcement.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant in the health funding category, listed under CFDA 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The funding opportunity was posted and created on November 5, 2013, with an original and final application closing date of January 25, 2016, and it was archived on February 25, 2016, meaning it is no longer active for new submissions under that specific announcement number. For historical reference and full details, the FOA was published through the NIH Grants Guide at the link provided (grants.nih.gov), and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact is included for access or linking issues.
