About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), with other NIH Institutes and Centers, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Support for Research Excellence First Independent Research (SuRE-First) Award by September 7, 2028, to support investigator-initiated biomedical research at resource-limited institutions by full-time faculty who have never held prior independent, peer-reviewed external research grants. Applications are not currently being solicited; this is a forecast providing potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive proposals.

Eligible applicants are limited to public and private higher education institutions. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign components of U.S. organizations are ineligible. The program supports investigator-initiated research in basic, social, clinical, behavioral, or translational science within NIH's mission scope, with dual objectives to furnish students high-quality undergraduate and graduate research experiences and enhance institutional scientific research culture.

The source does not specify award ceilings, award floors, expected number of awards, period of performance, place of performance, mandatory cost share, distinctive program objectives beyond those stated, evaluation criteria, weighting, or the parent programs' names by title. The opportunity carries multiple associated CFDA numbers: 93.846 (Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research), 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants), and 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training), reflecting potential multi-institute participation.

The program intends to encourage research capacity building at resource-limited institutions and is structured to support early-career investigators establishing independent research programs, addressing a targeted gap in NIH funding for faculty without existing peer-reviewed support.

Synopsis

The SuRE program supports research capacity building at eligible higher education institutions through funding investigator-initiated biomedical research inbasic, social, clinical, behavioral, or translational science that falls in the mission areas of the NIH. The purpose of SuRE-First awards is to provide support for investigator-initiated research at resource-limited institutions by full-time faculty who have not had any prior independent, peer-reviewed, external research grants, to furnish students with high-quality undergraduate and/or graduate research experiences, and to enhance the institutional scientific research culture.

Eligibility

Other Eligible Applicants include the following: 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.
