The NIH Research Education Program (UE5) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this UE5 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research.
To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support educational activities with a primary focus on:
- Courses for Skills Development
- Mentoring Activities
Programmatic Approach
MOSAIC Research Education Awards are intended to fund organizations that can provide robust mentoring, networking, and skills development opportunities for MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars and:
- Develop cohesive and mutually supportive cohorts of MOSAIC scholars that span the K99 to R00 award phases.
- Provide opportunities for MOSAIC scholars to engage in career development activities that will foster their progression to and success in independent academic research careers (for example, courses for skills development).
- Enhance the scientific and professional networks of MOSAIC scholars beyond their local institutions.
- Identify and connect scholars with additional mentors who can facilitate appropriate career advancement.
- Engage MOSAIC scholars’ primary research mentors (K99 phase) and appropriate organizational leader (R00 phase, for example department chair) to enhance mentoring relationships and promote career development of the scholars.
- Track and publicize outcomes (e.g., publicly available websites).
Project Period
The project period may not exceed 5 years.
