Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA LM 22 001
The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offered this R25 research education grant opportunity to fund short-term educational experiences designed to pull more talented students into biomedical informatics and biomedical data science career paths, with a clear emphasis on improving diversity in the field. The program is aimed specifically at undergraduates and masters-level students, especially students from diverse backgrounds and groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The central idea is to use structured, time-limited training and exposure (for example, summer or other short-term research education formats) to help students build skills, gain mentorship, and see a realistic pathway into further training and long-term careers in informatics and data science as applied to biomedicine and health.
This opportunity is identified as "Short-Term Research Education Experiences to Attract Talented Students to Biomedical Informatics/Data Science Careers and Enhance Diversity (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" with the funding opportunity number RFA-LM-22-001 and CFDA number 93.879. It sits in the Education and Health activity category and uses the grant funding instrument type. As an NIH R25, it is focused on research education rather than supporting a traditional hypothesis-driven research project, and it explicitly states that clinical trials are not allowed under this announcement. In practical terms, that means applicants need to design educational and training activities, mentoring structures, and learning experiences rather than proposing a clinical intervention study that would meet NIH's definition of a clinical trial.
A wide range of U.S.-based organizations were eligible to apply. Eligible applicant types included state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other organizations. The announcement also calls out additional eligible applicant categories that align with the program's diversity and workforce goals, 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, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, Indian/Native American tribal governments other than federally recognized, and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, the funding notice draws a firm boundary around foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions were not eligible to apply. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not allowed. The intent is that the supported education activities, administration, and program components remain within allowable U.S.-based organizational structures.
The posted award ceiling for this opportunity was $125,000, and the original closing date listed was May 31, 2022, with a creation date of March 14, 2022. The funding is administered by NIH (agency name: National Institutes of Health), and the opportunity category is listed as discretionary. Overall, this announcement is best understood as an NLM workforce-development and diversity-building investment: it provides relatively modest, targeted resources to organizations that can run well-structured short-term programs that introduce students to biomedical informatics and data science, connect them with mentors, and increase the likelihood that they pursue further education and careers in these areas, all while prioritizing participation by students from underrepresented backgrounds.Apply for RFA LM 22 001
