Opportunity Summary:
The Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) (R25) funding opportunity (PAR 16-118) is a discretionary grant program offered through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). It falls under the NIH Research Education Program mechanism (R25), which is specifically designed to support structured research education activities that align with NIH mission areas. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant to fund programs that develop and strengthen research training and educational experiences, rather than supporting a single research project in the way a traditional research grant might.
The central purpose of the NIGMS RISE program is to enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce. The emphasis on diversity reflects a workforce development goal: helping ensure that people from a wide range of backgrounds are prepared to enter, remain in, and advance within research careers. While the short description does not list specific required activities, R25 programs typically support organized educational components such as skills-based coursework, mentored research experiences, career development programming, research seminars, professional development in responsible conduct of research, and structured pathways that prepare participants for the next training or career stage. The focus is on building capacity and providing educational supports that improve readiness for research careers and help broaden participation in the research enterprise.
Eligibility to apply includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligible applicant types referenced as "others" depending on the details provided in the full announcement. The activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA numbers are 93.859 (and also listed as 93., likely truncated in the source). The funding instrument type is a Grant. The opportunity was created and posted on March 4, 2016, and the listed original and current closing date is May 25, 2018. The source data does not provide an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, so those details would need to be confirmed from the full funding announcement or NIH program guidance.
Overall, this opportunity supports institutions in building or expanding research education programs that measurably strengthen research preparation and participation, with an explicit programmatic priority on improving diversity in the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce through organized, NIH-aligned educational activities.
