Opportunity Summary:
Training Modules to Enhance Data Reproducibility (R25) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Education Program funding opportunity designed to strengthen how biomedical, behavioral, and clinical researchers are trained, with a specific emphasis on improving the reproducibility of research data. It uses the NIH R25 mechanism, which is intended to support structured research education activities that complement, rather than replace, traditional research training pathways. In practical terms, the program is aimed at helping institutions create and deliver educational content that builds a more capable research workforce and improves the broader understanding of research practices and their implications.
The central focus of this particular funding opportunity is the development of skills-based courses, specifically training modules that directly address data reproducibility. The intended trainees are graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning investigators, reflecting NIH interest in reaching researchers early enough to influence day-to-day scientific habits before they become entrenched. Applications are expected to propose creative, well-designed educational activities that can be used to teach and reinforce best practices related to producing reliable, transparent, and reproducible research outputs. While the announcement text provided does not list specific module topics, the emphasis on "skills development" signals that NIH was looking for practical training content that participants can apply immediately in research settings (for example, stronger approaches to data handling, documentation, reporting, and other practices that affect whether results can be reproduced).
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-GM-15-006 and is categorized as a discretionary grant in the education/health funding activity area. It was posted and created on August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of November 20, 2014, and an archive date of December 21, 2014. The award ceiling is stated as $150,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes it easier for applicants to propose robust educational plans without needing to secure additional mandatory non-federal contributions.
Eligibility is broad and spans many types of U.S.-based organizations, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments, tribal governments (including federally recognized tribes), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, special district governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of mission- or population-focused institutional types 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), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement is clear that non-U.S. entities are not eligible to apply: foreign organizations and foreign institutions cannot apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
The opportunity is associated with NIH and spans multiple CFDA program areas (now often referenced through assistance listing numbers), indicating that the reproducibility training goal is relevant across many scientific domains. The listed CFDAs include oral diseases and disorders research, complementary and integrative health, alcohol research, drug abuse and addiction research, research infrastructure, cancer research manpower, neurosciences and neurological disorders, biomedical research and research training, aging research, and vision research. This variety reinforces that NIH viewed reproducibility not as a niche concern, but as a cross-cutting need that affects the integrity and usefulness of research across institutes and disciplines.
