Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 23 266
The NIMH Research Education Programs for Psychiatry Residents (R25 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) funding opportunity (PAR-23-266) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant designed to build and strengthen research education experiences specifically aimed at psychiatry residents. It sits within the NIH Research Education Program (R25) mechanism, which funds structured educational activities (rather than stand-alone research projects) that help draw people with particular clinical or disciplinary training into long-term research careers across biomedical, behavioral, and clinical science. In practice, this means the program is meant to create or enhance organized research education pathways in psychiatry residency settings that can motivate, prepare, and support residents to pursue research trajectories aligned with the National Institute of Mental Health mission.
A key feature of this opportunity is its workforce-development focus: the central goal is recruitment and preparation of psychiatry residents for research careers, not the execution of independent clinical trials. The label "Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed" signals that the grant cannot be used to run an independent clinical trial as the primary activity under the award. The emphasis is instead on education and career development-oriented programming, such as mentored research exposure, research methods training, didactic curricula, and other structured experiences that increase research competence and commitment among psychiatry residents. While research education can include learning about clinical trials and potentially participating in broader research environments, the award is not intended to function as a vehicle for leading a new, independent trial.
Eligibility is broad across many U.S.-based organization types, reflecting NIH's intent to reach a wide range of training environments and institutional contexts. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other eligible entities. The opportunity also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized entities. This breadth is intended to support diverse institutional applicants and, by extension, broaden participation in mental health research career pathways.
There are important geographic and organizational restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. In addition, foreign components, as NIH defines them in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed under this opportunity. Taken together, these restrictions make clear that the program must be proposed, led, and carried out within eligible U.S. organizational structures without foreign components.
From a funding details standpoint, the opportunity is administered by the National Institutes of Health under CFDA number 93.242, with an award ceiling listed at $200,000. The original closing date provided is May 25, 2025. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, consistent with NIMH's role in supporting mental health research and research training infrastructure. While the notice indicates "ExpectedAwards:" without a number provided in the source data, applicants should typically interpret that as meaning the precise number of awards may vary by fiscal year priorities and available appropriations.
Overall, PAR-23-266 is best understood as a program-building and trainee-pipeline opportunity. Competitive applications will generally be those that lay out a coherent, well-structured research education plan for psychiatry residents, explain how the program will recruit and retain participants into research career paths, and demonstrate that the applicant organization has the environment, mentorship capacity, and educational resources to deliver meaningful research training aligned with NIMH priorities, all while staying within the constraint that independent clinical trials are not supported under this specific R25 announcement.Apply for PAR 23 266
