The National Institute on Aging (NIA) sets a high priority on expanding the number of researchers focused on aging-related diseases and other health concerns. To help develop our next generation of scientists, we are participating in the NIH Research Enhancement (R15) Award program. It has two components: the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions, and the Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools, with two funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) for each.
Learn more about the four new NIA-supported R15 AREA FOAs:
- Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 – Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
- Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Required)
- Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools (R15 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
- Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools (R15 Clinical Trial Required)
