Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 22 134
The NIAID Research Education Program (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), funding opportunity number PAR-22-134, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant that supports research education activities aligned with NIH mission areas, specifically those tied to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The central purpose of this program is educational rather than experimental: it is designed to build and strengthen research education efforts that complement and/or enhance existing training pathways. In practical terms, the program aims to help develop a well-prepared, diverse workforce capable of meeting the nations biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs in areas that fall within NIAIDs mission, such as allergy, immunology, and infectious diseases. As indicated by the title, clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity, meaning applicants should propose education-focused activities and must not include clinical trial conduct as part of the proposed work.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Education Program mechanism (R25), which is commonly used to support structured educational programs that can include curriculum development, skills-building workshops, mentoring and advising structures, short courses, research experiences that are educational in nature, and other organized activities that improve readiness for research careers. The emphasis on complementing or enhancing training signals that NIAID is looking for programs that add value to existing institutional training resources, fill gaps for specific populations or career stages, or provide specialized content in NIAID-relevant scientific areas. A key theme of the announcement is workforce diversity, with a clear intention to support educational activities that broaden participation and strengthen the pipeline into NIAID-relevant research fields.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (outside of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other eligible entities. The opportunity also highlights additional eligible applicant categories that reflect an emphasis on serving communities that are historically underrepresented in biomedical research. These include 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), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal government agencies, Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized, and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, there are important restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, including foreign organizations and foreign institutions, are not eligible to apply as the primary applicant. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. However, foreign components are allowed when they meet the NIH definition in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning an otherwise eligible U.S. applicant may propose certain project elements involving a foreign component if it is well-justified and compliant with NIH policy.
Administratively, the sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the program falls under the health funding activity category with CFDA number 93.855. The opportunity was created on 2022-03-15, and the original closing date listed is 2024-10-09. The provided source information does not specify an award ceiling or expected number of awards, so applicants would need to consult the full funding announcement and NIH budget guidance to understand typical budget ranges, allowable costs, project periods, and review considerations. Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as support for structured, NIAID-relevant research education programming that strengthens training ecosystems and expands participation, without supporting the conduct of clinical trials.Apply for PAR 22 134
