R15: Academic Research Enhancement Awards (AREA)
R15: NIH Research Enhancement Award
R15s support individual research projects in the biomedical and behavioral sciences conducted by faculty located in undergraduate-focused institutions, health professional schools, and graduate schools that have not been major recipients of NIH research grant funds. Unlike other funding mechanisms AREA awards require a plan for involving undergraduates in the proposed research. The program has two components: 1) Academic Enhancement Award (AREA) for undergraduate-focused institutions and 2) Research Enhancement Award Program for heath professional schools and graduate schools. NIA participates in the following AREA/REAP Funding Opportunity Announcements:
- Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 – Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
- Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 – Clinical Trial Required)
- Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP) for Health Professional Schools and Graduate Schools (R15 Clinical Trial Not Allowed
