The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has issued a funding opportunity titled "Short Courses on Innovative Methodologies and Approaches in the Behavioral and Social Sciences" (R25). This initiative aims to support educational programs that enhance the training of a skilled workforce addressing biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. Specifically, it invites proposals for short courses focused on developing innovative methodologies and analytical techniques within behavioral and social science research. Applications must demonstrate how the course will fill an essential skills gap that existing programs do not address. Preferred courses should adopt integrative teaching methods, prioritize sustainability, and aim to disseminate knowledge widely, potentially through remote learning formats. The initiative emphasizes participation from diverse backgrounds, adhering to NIH guidelines regarding non-discriminatory practices. The program expects to fund approximately 3-4 awards annually, amounting to $1 million per fiscal year, with eligible institutions including higher education, nonprofits, and government entities. Final proposals must align with the specific missions of participating NIH Institutes and Centers while advancing innovative educational strategies in behavioral and social sciences research.
