PAR-25-415-Full-Announcement.html

This is a comprehensive federal grant opportunity announcement from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), with other NIH Institutes and Centers, for the Support for Research Excellence First Independent Research (SuRE-First) Award. The grant aims to encourage investigator-initiated research at resource-limited institutions, focusing on full-time faculty without prior independent, peer-reviewed external research grants. The primary objectives are to provide students with high-quality research experiences and enhance institutional scientific research culture.

The announcement is currently in a forecast stage, meaning applications are not being solicited at this time. The grant will be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, with potential funding through multiple federal grant programs including Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research (CFDA 93.846), Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242), and Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859). While specific award values and dates are not yet established, the notice is designed to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects, with investigators encouraged to begin considering application strategies for this upcoming funding opportunity.
