The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) is designed to promote educational activities that align with NIH's mission areas. It targets the enhancement of research education and careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences, focusing particularly on encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those underrepresented in these fields, to engage in research studies or careers. This program aims to broaden participation and nurture future generations of scientists.
