Submission – NIGMS – Research Education: Bridges to the Doctorate (R25) -
PAR-17-209; September 25, 2018
Purpose: The over-arching goal
of this National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) R25 program is
to support educational activities that
enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce. To accomplish
this goal, the Research Education: Bridges to the Doctorate program will
support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for
Skills Development and Research Experiences. The Bridges to Doctorate Program
is intended to provide these educational activities to Master's level students
to increase transition to and completion of Ph.D.'s in biomedical sciences. A
program application must include each educational activity, and describe how
they will be synergized to make a comprehensive program. This program requires
partnerships between master's degree-granting institutions with doctorate
degree-granting institutions. Additionally, recruitment and retention plans are
required as part of the application. Note: The NIH encourages institutions
to diversify their student populations and thus to enhance the participation of
individuals currently underrepresented (UR) in the biomedical sciences research
enterprise, as described in NOT-OD-15-053.
