Funding Opportunity PAR-24-135 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. ThisNotice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites R25 applications to support the development and implementation of research education programs forundergraduate students from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. It is essential to expand and diversify the skilled aging research workforce and provide exposure toaging research to individuals early in their careers. The proposed research education programs will support intensive research experiences in theaging field with the goal of preparingundergraduate students to transition into strong, research-focused advanced degree programs or competitive private sector research careers inaging-related disciplines. ThisNOFO does not allow participants to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
