Details:

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH.  The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.

To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on:

  • Courses for Skills Development
  • Research Experiences

Areas of particular interest include:

  • Training in specialized research techniques, research methodology, data sets, or statistical approaches.
  • Training in advanced approaches to clinical, translational, or basic research, for instance, training in design and implementation of clinical trials or complex data collection projects.
  • Training in the use of model organisms or systems.
  • Short-term courses to expose upper undergraduates in the scientific areas that are within the scientific scope of the NICHD.
  • Courses in computational analysis of genomic data to identify genomic variants associated with structural birth defects.
  • Training in gene editing techniques for producing organisms modeling structural birth defects or studying genes involved with embryonic development.
  • Training in approaches toward analyzing and modeling developmental gene regulatory networks.
  • Training in the collection of phenotypic and clinical data using controlled vocabularies and ontologies for standardized phenotyping of structural birth defects.
  • Virtual skills development courses and supporting resources for researchers on best practice topics such as:
    • The inclusion and retention of pregnant and lactating persons and/or pediatric patients and their families in clinical research.
    • Best practices for increasing the inclusion of under-represented groups in clinical research, focusing on outreach to members of under-represented groups, training of the researchers running the research projects, or both.
    • Data management to address issues such as disclosure review, discoverability, multi-site access to restricted-access data, interoperability, and other aspects of ensuring confidentiality while maximizing data sharing and accessibility.
