Research Supplements to Promote Diversity
in Health-Related Research for
High School Students
This supplement enables principal investigators
with eligible NHLBI research grants or contracts to include
high school students in their projects. Priority is given
to applications requesting support for students with disabilities
and/or from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
The research activity proposed for the student must be part
of the approved research for the parent grant or contract,
or a logical extension. The student must be given opportunities
to interact with other individuals on the study and to contribute
to the study.
The program is designed to support high school students who
express an interest in the biomedical or behavioral sciences
and who will devote at least 2 years (two 3-month periods)
to the program. Support should be requested for at least 3
months during any year.
Who is eligible? All principal investigators
at U.S. institutions with eligible NHLBI research grants or
contracts may apply
The opportunities? Research training
Duration of support? Summer,
part-time during the academic year, or a combination of summer and academic
year
Where? At the principal
investigator's institution
Applications due? Any time, but no later
than 3 months before the last 2 years remaining on the NHLBI
research grant or contract
- The program is announced annually in the NIH
Guide to Grants and Contracts available by subscription or by accessing
the NIH
