This FOA invites Research Education Grant (R25) applications from institutions/organizations to support the development and/or implementation of programs that relate to research education and preparation of clinical residents and fellows that will foster careers as physician-scientists. The PD/PI must have a staff appointment in a Department of Neurology, Neurosurgery or Pathology. Participants in the research education program must be residents or fellows, typically in neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, anesthesiology or emergency medicine, who will conduct research within the mission of NINDS. The NIH recognizes a unique and compelling need to promote diversity in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences research workforce. Accordingly, the NIH continues to encourage institutions to diversify their faculty populations and thus to increase the participation of individuals currently underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences such as individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with disabilities. PDs/PIs are encouraged to consider participants from diverse backgrounds for this funding opportunity.
