Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Currently read:

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.

Modified to read (in Bold Italic):

To accomplish the stated overarching goal, this funding opportunity will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on: 

• Curriculum or Methods Development 

Specifically, this UE5 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. 

NIDA supports innovative research addressing critical issues of neuroscience, genetics, behavior, prevention, treatment, epidemiology, etiology, health services, HIV/AIDS, and co-occurring opportunistic infections (e.g., viral hepatitis C, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections) associated consequences in substance using populations, medication development, or other research areas relevant to substance use disorder. NIDA encourages applications focused on educational activities that are related to computational genomics, data science, and/or cloud computing relevant to addiction training and research.
