OpportunityTitle: Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: You may submit (an) application(s) if your domestic organization has any of the following characteristics:     Public or private institutions and components of institutions defined below as &#191;health professional schools/colleges&#191; and &#191;other academic components.&#191;     Applicant Schools/Components:    The applicant organization must offer baccalaureate or advanced degrees in the sciences related to biomedical and behavioral and meet the requirement of receiving research grants and/or cooperative agreements from the NIH totaling not more than $3 million per year (in both direct and F&amp;A/indirect costs) in each of four (4) or more of the last seven (7) years.  Note that this criterion of financial eligibility is based on the amount of NIH research grant monies received, not by the institution (university or college) as a whole, but by the individual school/college or aggregation of &quot;other academic components&quot; (see definition below) where the PD/PI has an appointment (e.g., School of Medicine, College of Nursing, etc.).  To determine the eligibility of a school or component with regard to this requirement, applicants should consult the list of ineligible schools/components on the AREA program Web site at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/area.htm.  If the name of the school does not appear on the list, it may be eligible to apply for AREA grants.  Applicants should check with their own institutions if unsure.  Although foreign institutions are not eligible, applications may include a foreign collaboration, component, or consortium.
Description: The purpose of the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) program is to stimulate research in educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the Nation&apos;s research scientists, but that have not been major recipients of NIH support. These AREA grants create opportunities for scientists and institutions otherwise unlikely to participate extensively in NIH programs, to contribute to the Nation&apos;s biomedical and behavioral research effort. AREA grants are intended to support small-scale health-related research projects proposed by faculty members of eligible, domestic institutions. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. This funding opportunity will use the R15 mechanism. Eligible organizations include all public or private institutions and components of institutions such as health professional schools/colleges and other academic components of domestic institutions offering baccalaureate or advanced degrees in the sciences related to health, except those that have received research grants and/or cooperative agreements from the NIH totaling more than $3 million per year (in both direct and indirect costs) in each of four (4) or more of the last seven (7) years.
