PURPOSE OF THIS PA
The Education Grant Program at the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is a flexible, curriculum-driven
program aimed to create educational opportunities that will attract
undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to careers in
areas of biomedical or behavioral research of particular interest to the
NIDDK and to foster their career development. The NIDDK is especially
interested in attracting students and postdoctoral fellows from scientific
disciplines underrepresented in disease-oriented biomedical research such as
engineering, informatics, computer science, and computational sciences, and
encouraging them to apply their expertise to research relevant to diabetes
and other endocrine and metabolic diseases, digestive diseases and nutrition,
and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases.
The NIDDK Education Program grants (i.e. R25s) support the development and
implementation of curriculum-dependent programs that may focus on educational
activities before, during or after the completion of a doctoral level degree
(e.g. Ph.D., M.D., D.P.H., D.D.S., O.D.) as long as they address a need that
is not fulfilled adequately by any other grant mechanism available from the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and are dedicated to areas of high
priority to the NIDDK. The R25 grant may not be used to conduct traditional
biomedical research or as a research training grant. Applicants whose
programs cannot meet the Special Requirements stated in these guidelines
should refer to the traditional National Research Service Award (NRSA)
Institutional (T32) or Short-Term (T35) Training Grants as possible
alternative sources of support.
EDUCATION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND DESCRIPTION
A. Background: The principal objective of this PA is to develop the means to
attract students (undergraduate and graduate) and/or postdoctoral fellows to
NIDDK-relevant research. In particular, the participation of students from
scientific disciplines that are underrepresented in many disease-oriented
biomedical research programs should be encouraged. Programs should also
focus on attracting underrepresented minority students and postdoctoral
fellows to NIDDK-relevant research. Applicants are expected to propose
unique, innovative, curriculum-based education programs that focus on
scientific areas of interest to the NIDDK. This may be in the form of a
course, seminar series, yearly symposium, or other appropriate educational
tool. Evaluation of the proposed educational program must be integral to its
design. It is anticipated that inclusion of faculty currently active in
research related to the mission of NIDDK will be necessary in order to
provide the highest quality of information and to introduce role models and
future colleagues into the educational experiences.
B. Program: The award provides support to institutions for up to 5 years for
(1) the principal investigator;(2) an Advisory Committee to manage,
coordinate and evaluate the program; (3) the faculty to design, develop,
implement and continually refine the program curriculum; and (4) for other
Program-related costs. No support will be provided for stipends or tuition
costs of students and/or postdoctoral fellows.
These Programs should provide curriculum-based, multi-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary didactic and other educational experiences for predoctoral
students and/or postdoctoral fellows. Examples of specific Programs may
include, but are not limited to:
o specific disease processes of interest to NIDDK (e.g. diabetes, cystic
fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, hepatitis, renal diseases or
hematological disorders);
o the translation of basic science discoveries to patient care ("bench to
bedside" research);
o the relationships of specific organ systems (e.g. digestive, renal,
endocrine, hematopoietic) to health and illness;
o the appreciation and integration of whole animal physiology in current
biomedical research;
o information on how molecular techniques may be applied to NIDDK-relevant
diseases and research;
o the development of therapeutics related to diseases relevant to the NIDDK
(e.g. how does one move from a genome sequence to health benefits?).
C. Environment: The participating institution(s) must have well-established
research programs and faculty qualified in curriculum development,
implementation, and program evaluation to organize and develop the
curriculum. Qualified faculty members must be available to participate in
the program. The environment should be team-oriented and highly
collaborative with a strong potential for a dynamic two-way exchange of
information and ideas within and across diverse and disparate disciplines
such as the physical, biomedical, behavioral, population and quantitative
(mathematics, engineering, computer sciences, etc.) sciences. The
institution must demonstrate a commitment to provide sustained leadership and
dedicated faculty time to the development and implementation of the Program.
D. Allowable costs
1. Salary: The principal investigator may request salary support for his/her
role in leadership, management, coordination, and evaluation of the Program,
in accordance with the percent effort commitment to the Program, which will
usually be 10-50%. Faculty critical to the design, development,
implementation, and refinement of the specialized curriculum essential to the
didactic needs of the Program may request salary support in accordance with
the percent effort commitment to the Program. Salary support may be
requested for program faculty for their service on the Advisory Committee
(see SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS). The principal investigator and Program faculty
may derive additional compensation from other Federal sources or awards
provided the additional compensation does not exceed the maximum annual
salary level for Federal employees (see NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-02-030) and
their total percent effort on all awards does not exceed 100 percent.
2. Advertising and Recruitment Costs: A small proportion of the budget may be
requested for advertising and recruitment costs in order to attract the best
possible candidates to the Program.
3. Ancillary Personnel Support and Other Costs: In general, salaries for
secretaries, administrative assistants, and other ancillary personnel are not
allowed. Requests for consultant costs, equipment, supplies, and other
project-related expenses must be justified as specifically required by the
proposed Program and not duplicate items generally available at the
institution for educational programs.
4. Facilities and Administrative Costs: These costs, which were formerly
called indirect costs, will be reimbursed at 8 percent of modified total
direct costs.
E. Change of Institution: The NIDDK Education Project Grant cannot be
transferred from one institution to another.
F. Change of Principal Investigator: If the principal investigator moves to
another institution or resigns from the position, support of the award may be
continued provided that the current program director or the awardee
institution has submitted a written request for change of principal
investigator, countersigned by the appropriate institutional business
official, to the NIDDK describing the reasons for the change. The
biographical sketch of the proposed new principal investigator, including a
complete listing of active grant support, must also be provided. The
information provided must establish that the specific aims of the original
peer reviewed education program to be conducted under the direction of the
new principal investigator will remain unchanged, and that the new principal
investigator has the appropriate educational and administrative expertise to
lead the program as well as the support of the institution. NIDDK Program
staff must approve of this change and should be contacted prior to submission
of the letter (see INQUIRIES).
G. Changes of Program: Awards are made to a specific institution for a
specific program under the guidance of a particular principal investigator.
Changes in any of these parameters require prior approval by the NIDDK.
A strong rationale must be provided for any proposed changes in the aims of
the original peer reviewed Program. NIDDK program staff will evaluate the
proposed changes to ensure that the Program remains within the scope of the
original peer-reviewed education program. If the new Program does not
satisfy this requirement, the award will be terminated.
H. Progress Reports: An Annual Progress Report for the grant is required.
This report should provide information on the development and implementation
of the program/curriculum/symposium, modifications to the Program as
originally proposed, and updates on the evaluation of the Program by the
Advisory Committee. These progress reports will be closely monitored by
NIDDK staff to ensure that the Program is achieving its goals and meets the
intent of the NIDDK for this specialized R25 grant mechanism.
Progress reports are to submitted using the Form PHS 2590, which can be
accessed directly at the following website address:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/2590/2590.htm. Adapt the application
for continuation so it contains the following information:
- Appropriate Face Page
- A detailed budget page that provides all salaries and fringe benefits and
other budgetary information.
- A brief description of the Objectives and Goals of the Program
- A list of faculty and Advisory Committee members who have left the Program
and of the new individuals who are being added or taking their place.
Include for each new person their degree and department (or equivalent) and,
if a multi-institutional consortium, their institution.
- Biographical Sketches of:
i. New faculty
ii. New Advisory Committee members
-A Report from the Advisory Committee that is separately attached and
evaluates the development of, and in future years, the effectiveness of the
Program and any recommended changes; the plans for recruitment/advertising
including outreach to students from minority groups underrepresented in
biomedical research;
-Once the Program has been implemented, a list of the participants with their
backgrounds, and their evaluation of the Program.
I. Evaluation: In carrying out its stewardship of human resource related
programs, the NIDDK may request information essential to an assessment of the
effectiveness of this program. Accordingly, principal investigators are
hereby notified that they may be contacted after the completion of this award
for periodic updates on various aspects of the participants' employment
history, publications, support from research grants or contracts, honors and
awards, professional activities, and other information helpful in evaluating
the impact of the program on their career choices.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
This PA will use the NIH Education Project Grant (R25) award mechanism. As
an applicant, you will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and
executing the proposed project. R25 education grants are not typical research
instruments, but do involve experiments in education that require an
evaluation plan in order to determine the degree of success or failure.
Applicants may request up to five years of support to develop a specific
education program. Applications should propose short-term education projects
limited to five years or less, although the curriculum that is developed
should be self-sustaining. Awards are not renewable.
The total annual requested direct costs on the R25 grant are limited to
$100,000. Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs are payable at the rate
of 8 percent of total modified direct costs. The 8 percent F&A cost rate
will also apply to all subcontracts on R25 grants.
ELIGIBLE INSTITUTIONS
Applications may be submitted on behalf of the principal investigator by
domestic, non-Federal organizations, such as medical, dental, or nursing
schools or other institutions of higher education.
You may submit (an) application(s) if your institution has any of the
following characteristics:
o For-profit or non-profit organizations
o Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals,
and laboratories
o Units of State and local governments
o Eligible agencies of the Federal government
o Domestic
Applications may include more than one institution to create a Program
through consortium agreements that includes all of the disciplines, research
environments, students and faculty needed to accomplish the proposed
educational objectives (refer to the following URL for guidelines on these
agreements:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/part_iii_5.htm#Consortium).
However, only one of the participating institutions can be the recipient of
an award. An institution may submit more than one application in order to
support programs in different areas of scientific emphasis. Racial/ethnic
minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to
apply as principal investigators.
INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS
Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry
out the proposed research is invited to work with their institution to
develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial
and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always
encouraged to apply for NIH programs.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
o A specialized NIDDK-relevant education curriculum, not otherwise available
at the institution, or a significant expansion of a pre-existing NIDDK-
relevant education program, must be developed; examples of a newly developed
Program include, but are not limited to, a single course, a portion of an
established course, a yearly conference, a seminar series, or a group of
short courses.
o The principal investigator must assemble and chair a multidisciplinary
Advisory Committee representing all of the disciplines, departments, schools,
institutions, etc. involved in the NIDDK education program. The Advisory
Committee will assist the principal investigator in the recruitment and
selection of the faculty of the Program; the establishment and review of the
specialized curriculum; and monitoring and evaluation of the overall
