Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools, aimed at supporting small-scale research grants at institutions with limited NIH funding. This program invites applications for investigator-initiated mechanistic and minimal risk clinical trials that align with the research interests of various NIH institutes, focusing on enhancing the research environment and providing biomedical research experiences for health professional, undergraduate, and graduate students. The opportunity is particularly significant for institutions that do not receive substantial NIH funding, as it aims to foster research capabilities in the health sector. Interested applicants can reach out to Dr. Jean Yuan at jean.yuan@nih.gov or call 301-827-0009 for further information. The estimated synopsis post date is December 25, 2025, with applications expected to close by February 25, 2026, and awards anticipated by December 25, 2026.
