    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the Research With Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD) grant program, aimed at enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in biomedical research. This initiative supports scientists who have made significant contributions to DEIA and currently lack NIH research project funding, requiring applicants to submit a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) alongside their proposals. The program seeks to broaden the biomedical research workforce and increase access to research experiences for underrepresented researchers, with funding available for both scientific research and DEIA activities across various NIH Institutes. Interested applicants can find more information and apply by January 7, 2028, and should direct inquiries to grantsinfo@nih.gov.

    The "Research With Activities Related to Diversity (ReWARD)" program by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aims to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in biomedical research. It provides funding to scientists who have made significant contributions to DEIA and lack current NIH research project funding. This initiative encourages applications from diverse institutions, including historically underrepresented colleges and tribal organizations, and requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) as part of the application process. Key funding areas include research across NIH Institutes such as the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the National Institute of Mental Health, emphasizing scientific innovation that addresses health disparities. Applications must detail both scientific research goals and DEIA activities, fostering a balanced approach to advancing scientific knowledge while promoting inclusivity in research environments. The program's long-term goal is to broaden the biomedical research workforce, increase access to research experiences, and retain underrepresented researchers. The maximum project period for funding is five years, and the number of awards will depend on NIH appropriations. Key application dates begin in 2025, with an emphasis on organizational support for successful DEIA initiatives.
