The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this NEI R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support educational activities with a primary focus on Research Experiences The NEI supports basic, translational, and clinical research on vision and diseases of the visual system as detailed in the NEI Strategic Plan. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage applications for research education programs that will significantly advance the mission of NEI. The proposed research education programs should focus on intensive hands-on research experiences to prepare recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds for biomedical doctoral degree programs. In addition to encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in biomedical research, NEI also seeks to recruit individuals without prior opportunities to participate in research in the visual sciences. Programs appropriate for this NOFO must include participants from a nationally recruited cohort. This NOFO does not allow appointed participants to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
