About this opportunity
The National Institute on Aging is soliciting applications to support postbaccalaureate research education programs in Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias with an application deadline of May 26, 2027. Participants in funded programs cannot lead independent clinical trials, though they may obtain research experience in clinical trials led by mentors or co-mentors.
Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions, Indian tribal governments and organizations, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and state and local governments. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. The R25 mechanism funds intensive research experiences designed to prepare recent baccalaureates—including those from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences—to transition into advanced degree programs or competitive research careers in AD/ADRD disciplines.
Programs must develop and implement research education curricula that provide meaningful exposure to the AD/ADRD research workforce early in participants' careers. The funding mechanism operates under Assistance Listing 93.866 (Aging Research), which has supported biomedical, social, and behavioral research directed toward understanding aging processes and prevention and treatment of age-related diseases. Typical award periods for research education grants under the Aging Research program extend up to five years. The source does not specify an award ceiling, floor, or expected number of awards. Evaluation criteria will assess the scientific merit and significance of the proposed research education program, the technical adequacy of program design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives.
Synopsis
This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) invites R25 applications to support the development and implementation of research education programs for recent baccalaureates from all backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. It is essential to expand and broaden the skilled Alzheimers Disease (AD) and Alzheimers Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) research workforce and provide exposure to AD/ADRD research to individuals early in their careers. The proposed research education programs will support intensive research experiences in the AD/ADRD field with the goal of preparing recent baccalaureates to transition into strong, research-focused advanced degree programs or competitive private sector research careers in AD-related disciplines.
Eligibility
Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Regional Organizations; U.S. Territory or Possession; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed.
