Opportunity Summary:
The Research Education Program for Laboratory Animal Medicine Veterinarians (R25) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-OD-12-006) offered through the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) within the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI) in the NIH Office of the Director. Its purpose is to support structured research education programs specifically aimed at veterinarians who want to build a career in Laboratory Animal Medicine (LAM), a specialty that underpins a large portion of biomedical and translational research by ensuring high-quality veterinary oversight, animal welfare, and scientifically sound use of animal models.
At its core, the program is designed to prepare veterinarians to become competent and proficient in LAM in ways that directly support biomedical investigations. The emphasis is not only on clinical or colony health responsibilities, but also on the research-facing skills that make LAM veterinarians effective partners in modern science. That includes training in collaborative research settings and gaining hands-on experience with the development, refinement, and maintenance of animal models that are used to understand disease mechanisms and evaluate potential interventions as part of translational research. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help institutions build or enhance educational experiences that move veterinarians toward careers where they can contribute meaningfully to study design, model selection and characterization, and the responsible execution of animal-based research.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Education Grant mechanism (R25), which is typically geared toward organized educational programs rather than funding independent research projects. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health-related. The program is listed under CFDA number 93.351 (Research Infrastructure Programs). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations to apply and can make budgeting more straightforward for applicants.
The award ceiling for this announcement is listed as 112,000, indicating the maximum amount expected per award under the terms of the announcement. The funding opportunity was posted on May 18, 2012, with the original and current closing date both set as July 18, 2012, and an archive date of August 18, 2012, meaning it was time-limited and is now archived as a historical opportunity rather than an open competition.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and government entities that can credibly run a research education program. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception language about non-501(c)(3) organizations outside higher education); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also explicitly includes a range of institution types that NIH often highlights to encourage wide participation, 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 well as U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, it clearly restricts non-U.S. participation: foreign (non-U.S.) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
For applicants looking for the full set of requirements, expectations, and application instructions, the announcement points to the NIH Grants Guide posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-OD-12-006.html.
