This program is designed with you in mind. By tapping into funding for small-scale research projects, you can enhance the biomedical research experiences offered to your undergraduate students. This is a chance to not only support their learning but also to strengthen your institution’s research capabilities. Engaging in investigator-initiated clinical trials will allow you to explore vital insights without navigating the complexities of traditional trials.

Applying for this program is straightforward. If your institution qualifies, you can access grants that come with no minimum revenue requirements. This program offers an exceptional opportunity to boost your institution’s reputation in the scientific community while providing students with valuable, hands-on experiences. The benefits are clear: more funding leads to stronger research outcomes and a richer educational environment for your students.

Type of Financing
This program provides small-scale research grants. This funding is designed specifically for institutions that do not receive substantial financial support from the NIH.

Repayment Terms and Eligible Expenses
There are no repayment terms or interest rates associated with this grant, as grants do not require repayment. Eligible expenses include costs related to biomedical research projects, focusing on enhancing research experiences for undergraduate students and improving the overall research environment at your institution.

Restrictions and Fees
Funds cannot be used for projects requiring FDA oversight or those intended for trial efficacy establishment, as only minimal risk clinical trials qualify. Additionally, there are generally no associated fees with this program, helping you maximize your funding for research without unnecessary costs.

This program offers funding for small-scale research projects at institutions that haven’t received much support from the NIH. If you’re part of an eligible institution, you can secure grants that help enhance biomedical research experiences specifically for undergraduates. This not only benefits your students but also strengthens the overall research environment at your institution.

With this opportunity, you can engage in investigator-initiated clinical trials that carry minimal risk. These trials are defined as those that do not need FDA oversight and do not aim to establish efficacy formally. This means you can focus on gaining valuable insights without the complexities often associated with more rigorous trials.

There are no minimum revenue requirements, and any institution granting baccalaureate science degrees may participate. If you qualify, you can access these grants to support innovative research, providing your students with hands-on experiences while boosting your institution’s reputation in the scientific community.
