About this opportunity

The National Institute on Aging is soliciting R25 applications to support the development and implementation of summer research education programs in Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias, with an application due date of May 26, 2027. Participants in funded programs are not permitted to lead independent clinical trials, though they may obtain research experience in clinical trials led by a mentor or co-mentor.

Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and not federally recognized), tribal organizations, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, school districts, housing authorities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Non-domestic entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are ineligible.

The programs target high school students, undergraduates, and science teachers from all backgrounds, with emphasis on individuals from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Proposed research education programs will provide intensive summer research experiences designed to expose participants to AD/ADRD research and encourage further study or participation in biomedical and behavioral research.

The opportunity operates under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) within the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health. The source does not specify award ceilings, award floors, expected number of awards, period of performance, or place of performance.

Synopsis

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites R25 applications to support the development and implementation of summer research education programs for high school students, undergraduates, or science teachers from all backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. It is essential to expand and broaden the skilled Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Alzheimers Disease 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 summer research experiences in the AD/ADRD field with the goal of exposing participants to AD/ADRD research and encourage further study or participation in biomedical and behavioral research. This NOFO does not allow 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.
