Research Supplements to Promote Diversity
in Health-Related Research for
Undergraduate StudentsThis supplement enables principal investigators with
eligible NHLBI research grants to include undergraduate 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 proposed for the student must be part of the
approved research for the parent grant or a logical extension.

individuals on the study, to contribute intellectually, and
to enhance his or her research skills and knowledge.

who are interested in biomedical or behavioral research 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 1 year.
