Opportunity Summary:
The Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) (R25) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), designed to strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented (UR) students pursuing research careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The core purpose of the program is institutional: it funds colleges and universities that want to create new, or expand and improve existing, developmental programs that better prepare UR students academically, scientifically, and professionally for advanced research training and long-term competitiveness in research careers. A central emphasis is helping students build the preparation and skill set needed to successfully complete a Ph.D. in biomedical and/or behavioral science fields, which often requires not only strong coursework but also meaningful research training experiences and professional development.
RISE uses the NIH R25 research education grant mechanism, which is intended to support structured educational and training-related activities rather than stand-alone research projects. Institutions applying are expected to propose integrated, well-coordinated developmental activities that directly strengthen students preparation for doctoral-level study and research careers. This includes efforts that enhance academic preparation, provide substantive research training opportunities, and build professional skills that are commonly required for success in graduate school and beyond. While the announcement text provided does not list specific required activities, the description makes clear that NIGMS is looking for coherent programs where the pieces fit together (for example, coordinated mentoring, research exposure, skills development, and academic support) rather than isolated or disconnected interventions.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based institutions of higher education and certain mission-focused categories of institutions that typically serve large numbers of students from historically underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Eligible applicant types include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. The announcement also explicitly notes eligibility for institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), 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 the opportunity does not allow non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations or foreign components as defined by NIH policy. The funding opportunity also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of the award.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-196 and falls under the Health funding activity category, with CFDA number 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training). It was originally posted on April 15, 2013, with an original closing date of June 20, 2013, and a current closing date listed as May 28, 2015. The archive date is June 28, 2015, indicating that this particular announcement is no longer active for new submissions under the same posting, though similar NIH opportunities may exist under newer announcements. For official details, applicants were directed to the NIH Grants Guide page for the announcement, and support contacts were provided through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity was aimed at institutions that can demonstrate a strong rationale for why their student population would benefit from a structured, campus-based program to improve readiness for Ph.D. training and research careers, especially where there is significant enrollment of students from underrepresented populations in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The overall intent is capacity-building at the institutional level: enhancing the quality, reach, and effectiveness of developmental programming so that more UR students are positioned to enter and complete rigorous doctoral programs and ultimately contribute to the nation s biomedical and behavioral research workforce.
