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 Fall 2021.

This FOA will utilize the U24 activity code. 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.

The SuRE Resource Center Award will fund a national center that will provide infrastructure support to SuRE-eligible institutions and provide application services to faculty investigators.
