Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 18 782
The NINDS Research Education Opportunities program is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Education Program (R25) funding opportunity focused on strengthening research education in areas aligned with the mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The central aim is workforce development: supporting educational activities that complement and enhance the training pipeline so the United States can meet ongoing biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to fund structured research education efforts (not independent research projects) that build skills, exposure, and preparedness for research careers related to neurological disorders and stroke.
This opportunity is published as PAR-18-782 and uses the grant funding instrument under the health activity category (CFDA 93.853). It is explicitly labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning applicants should not propose a clinical trial as part of the supported activities. The focus is on research education rather than conducting clinical trial interventions, even if the educational program touches on clinical research concepts. Applicants should interpret this as a boundary around the type of work supported: training, curriculum development, mentoring structures, workshops, and other educational experiences are in scope, but running a clinical trial is not.
A wide range of U.S.-based organizations are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The opportunity also highlights eligibility for several institution types that serve specific populations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). This emphasis signals an interest in supporting research education capacity and participation across diverse institutions and communities.
There are clear restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant organization. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. At the same time, "foreign components" are allowed as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement. In NIH terms, this typically means that while the applicant organization must be domestic, certain project elements can involve foreign collaboration or activities when justified and compliant with NIH policy, rather than having the main applicant or a major organizational component located outside the U.S.
Key administrative details in the source data include an award ceiling of $250,000 and an original closing date of August 27, 2020, with the funding opportunity originally created on May 11, 2018. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, which often means it may vary depending on available appropriations, application volume, and program priorities in a given cycle.
Overall, this R25 opportunity is best understood as support for education-focused programs that expand research readiness and capability in NINDS-relevant fields, strengthen the research workforce, and provide structured educational experiences without crossing into the conduct of clinical trials.Apply for PAR 18 782
