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

- Developing and disseminating Courses for Skills Development or Curriculum or Methods Development in alignment with one of the NIGMS topic areas defined in the annually released Notices of Special Interest (NOSIs) located in the Related Notices section above. Because of the complex nature of the training module topics, experts in the subject areas are encouraged to be included on the development and dissemination team.
- Assessing the current training needs of the intended audience, specifying the skills and knowledge that will be gained by the audience and how the module will enhance the biomedical research workforce.
- Filling a gap in the existing educational resources and ensuring the content is relevant and broadly useful for audiences that include biomedical researchers at one or more professional levels including students, postdoctoral scientists, staff scientists, clinical researchers, research faculty, etc. When piloting the modules, the developers should recruit participants for feedback that are reflective of the intended audience to ensure the effectiveness of the modules.
