Purpose

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences intends to publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications for research as part of the Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Program. SuRE Program is replacing the SCORE Program. Two distinct funding opportunity announcements will be used to support research projects led by faculty investigators at different career stages. A third SuRE funding opportunity announcement will support a national resource center to provide infrastructure development to SuRE-eligible institutions and application services to faculty investigators.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.

The FOA is expected to be published in early Spring 2021 with an expected application due date in late Spring 2021.

Details of the planned FOA are provided below.

Research Initiative Details

SuRE is a research capacity building program designed to develop and sustain research excellence in higher education institutions that receive limited NIH research support and serve students who are underrepresented in biomedical research. Eligible institutions include but are not limited to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs).

SuRE Awards will support faculty investigators with prior experience in leading independent research who are not funded by an NIH Research Project Grant. SuRE research projects must have student participation in the execution, analysis, and reporting of the research. An applicant institution must demonstrate a commitment to build the research capacity of the institution and its support to the faculty investigator who applies for the award.

SuRE awards will support meritorious investigator-initiated research projects with student participation in mission areas of all NIH Institutes and Centers.
