About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute is soliciting applications for the Youth Enjoy Science Research Education Program (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) with an application deadline of September 28, 2026.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations), state and local governments, city and county governments, special district governments, public or Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, and other entity types.

The program also welcomes applications from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and eligible federal agencies.
The program supports educational activities with primary focus on research experiences, curriculum or methods development, and outreach designed to encourage individuals with limited or no substantial biomedical research experience to pursue further studies or careers in research. Institutional programs will engage grades 6-12 and/or undergraduate students in cutting-edge cancer research experiences and may also provide research experiences for teachers and faculty serving underrepresented populations. Program goals include inspiring interest in biomedical sciences, helping participants envision research as a career path, and strengthening practical research and career skills. Institutions may develop unique programs that capitalize on their research strengths and respond to their target populations.
The funding instrument is a grant. This opportunity is assigned to the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398). Applicants must follow Research-specific instructions designated in the application guide when submitting.
Synopsis

Update #2 · Latest ·
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to encourage individuals who have not had substantial biomedical research experience, or who have the potential to significantly benefit from additional biomedical research experience 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: (1) Research Experiences, (2) Curriculum or Methods Development and (3) Outreach. The NCI's mission is to conduct and support research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs concerning cancer. This funding opportunity seeks to facilitate educational activities that encourage students to become knowledgeable about cancer and available to focus on cancer later in their careers. To promote broad interest in pursuing a career in biomedical research via early intervention strategies, the NCI Youth Enjoy Science (YES) Program will support efforts to create and maintain an institutional program to engage grades 6-12 and/or undergraduate students in cutting edge cancer research experiences. The proposed institutional programs may also provide research experiences for the grade 6-12 teachers and undergraduate faculty members. The goals are to inspire interest in biomedical sciences, help envision research as a career path, and strengthen practical research and career skills. In alignment with these goals, institutions may develop unique programs that capitalize on their research strengths and are responsive to their target populations.
Update #1 ·
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this National Cancer Institute (NCI) R25 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 FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Research Experiences, Curriculum or Methods Development and Outreach. The NCIs mission is to conduct and support research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to cancer. This funding opportunity seeks to facilitate the education of students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research who will become knowledgeable about cancer, and available to focus on cancer later in their careers. With the aim of enhancing the pool of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds interested in pursuing a career in biomedical research via early intervention strategies, the NCI Youth Enjoy Science (YES) Program will support efforts to create and maintain an institutional program to engage grades 6-12 and/or undergraduate students from underrepresented populations in cutting edge cancer research experiences. The proposed institutional programs may also provide research experiences for the grade 6-12 teachers and undergraduate faculty members who serve underrepresented student populations. The specific goals are to inspire interest in biomedical sciences, help envision research as a career path, and strengthen practical research and career skills. In alignment with these goals, institutions may develop unique programs that capitalize on their research strengths and are responsive to their target populations.
