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.

at U.S. institutions with eligible NHLBI research grants or
contracts may apply

research grant or contract
- The program is announced annually in the NIH Guide
to Grants and Contracts available by subscription or
