Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

The overarching goal of this 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.

The NIH Research Education Program (UE5) supports research educational activities that complement other formal training programs in the mission areas of the NIH Institutes and Centers.

The overarching goal of this UE5 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 computational genomics and data science research.

This NOFO will support educational activities with a primary focus on:

• Curriculum or Methods Development

Specifically, this NOFO will support the development of undergraduate and master’s degree-level classroom content, and hands-on as well as online exercises related to computational genomics, data science, cloud computing, or a combination of these topics, tailored towards students attending institutions with a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research as described below in Section III.

The National Cancer Institute encourages applications focused on educational activities that are related to computational cancer genomics, cancer data science, cloud computing for cancer focused activities, or a combination of these topics, tailored towards students attending institutions with a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research as described below in Section III.
