The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced the Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools, aimed at supporting small-scale research grants for institutions with limited NIH funding. This program is designed to foster biomedical research experiences for health professional, undergraduate, and graduate students while enhancing the research environment at eligible institutions, which must have received no more than $6 million in NIH support over the past seven years. The REAP initiative emphasizes the inclusion of underrepresented students in research and requires applications to propose clinical trials addressing significant public health issues, specifically low-risk or mechanistic studies without FDA oversight. Interested applicants can find more information and guidelines at the provided link, with a funding ceiling of $300,000 and a submission deadline of January 7, 2025.
