Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 17 183
The NICHD Research Education Programs (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-17-183) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant designed to support structured research education activities that fall within NIH mission areas, with a specific emphasis on the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The central purpose of this R25 program is workforce-focused: it funds educational efforts that complement and/or strengthen existing training pathways so the United States can meet ongoing biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. In practical terms, this mechanism is meant to build research capacity through organized education programs rather than solely supporting individual research projects, helping develop a pipeline of trainees and professionals prepared to contribute to NICHD-relevant science.
The funding is issued as a grant under the broad activity category of Health, Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 93.865. The listing shows an award ceiling of $150,000, indicating the maximum expected funding level per award under the opportunity as presented in the source data. The original closing date included in the record is January 24, 2018, and the opportunity record was created on February 28, 2017. While the data excerpt does not specify the number of expected awards, it frames the program as a standard NIH research education initiative intended to support educational programming that enhances research training and preparation.
Eligibility is broad and includes many domestic organization types across government, education, nonprofit, and private sectors. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education when relevant to that category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and an “other” category that NIH sometimes uses to capture additional qualified entities. The opportunity also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant types and communities, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal government agencies, regional organizations, Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized entities, and U.S. territories or possessions. This emphasis suggests the program is open to a wide range of institutions positioned to deliver research education and expand participation in biomedical and behavioral research training.
At the same time, the opportunity places strict limits on foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. In addition, foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are explicitly not allowed. These restrictions mean the applicant organization and the supported educational activities must be fully domestic in structure and execution, without foreign subcomponents or formal foreign participation that would meet NIH’s definition of a foreign component.
Overall, PAR-17-183 is best understood as an NICHD-focused NIH R25 research education grant aimed at strengthening the nation’s research workforce by funding well-designed educational programs that enhance research training and preparation in NICHD mission areas. The opportunity is accessible to a wide range of U.S.-based institutions and organizations, including many that serve historically underrepresented or special-focus student populations, while clearly excluding foreign applicants and foreign components.Apply for PAR 17 183
