Opportunity Summary:
The Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health Related Research (PRIDE) (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-10-019) is a National Institutes of Health initiative led by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to support structured research education through Summer Institute programs. The central aim is to strengthen the research capabilities and career trajectories of faculty members and scientists from diverse backgrounds by giving them intensive training, mentorship, and exposure to advanced research methods relevant to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. The long-term intent is practical and outcome-focused: participants should leave better positioned to compete successfully for external research funding in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, including NIH and other sponsor awards.
This FOA invites applications from institutions and organizations that can design and run a Summer Institute experience directed by senior faculty, established investigators, and experienced mentors. In other words, the applicant organization is expected to assemble a strong leadership and mentoring team capable of guiding promising participants through skill-building that goes beyond introductory content. The Summer Institutes are meant to help participants deepen their knowledge and expand hands-on competence in advanced experimental approaches and methods across both basic and applied science areas tied to NHLBI priorities. While the announcement emphasizes research skill development, it also highlights career development as a key endpoint, particularly for individuals who are already faculty or scientists and are working to become more competitive as independent investigators.
The funding mechanism is the NIH Research Education grant (R25). Under this mechanism, the emphasis is on education and structured training experiences rather than supporting a stand-alone research project in the usual sense. A notable administrative detail is that research education programs funded through this FOA generally cannot be transferred from one institution to another unless there is a strong justification, reinforcing that the award is tightly linked to the specific institutional setting, leadership, and program design proposed in the application.
This PRIDE Summer Institute FOA is also explicitly connected to a parallel funding opportunity for a separate Coordination Core (referenced as RFA-HL-10-028). The Summer Institute awards and the Coordination Core are intended to operate in tandem, with the Coordination Core serving an organizing and support function across the broader PRIDE effort while the Summer Institutes deliver the direct education and mentoring experiences to participants.
In terms of funding scale and expected awards, NHLBI indicated an intention to commit up to $1.5 million in total costs in fiscal year 2010 to support up to five Summer Institute programs. As with most federal grant announcements, actual awards depend on the availability of appropriated funds and on receiving a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and private higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations, along with certain tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also calls out eligibility for several institution types that commonly serve underrepresented groups, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (including those other than federally recognized, as described in the eligibility language). This eligibility structure aligns with the program purpose of expanding diversity in the health-related research workforce by empowering institutions that are well positioned to reach, recruit, and support scientists from diverse backgrounds.
Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of December 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of February 4, 2010, and an archive date of March 7, 2010. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument type, with activity focused in health. Relevant CFDA numbers listed include 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research), 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), and 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), reflecting the scientific domains the Summer Institutes are expected to address. For applicants or readers needing the full text, the announcement points to the NIH grants page for the RFA, and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research contact information for technical access or linking issues.
