Recovery Act Funds for Administrative Supplements Providing Summer Research Experiences for Students and Science Educators

NIBIB details for responding to the opportunity identified in Notice Number: NOT-OD-09-060

The NIBIB plans to provide administrative supplements to currently active grants for the purpose of promoting job creation, economic recovery, and accelerating the pace and achievement of scientific research. These supplements will also encourage students to seriously pursue research careers in the health related sciences, as well as provide elementary, middle school, and high school teachers, community college faculty, and faculty from non-research intensive institutions with short term research experiences in NIH-funded laboratories. Please refer to the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts Notice: NOT-OD-09-060 for a general description of this program. In addition to the information in the Guide Notice, below are NIBIB-specific details which should be considered in preparing an administrative supplement request to the NIBIB.

Funding Priorities:

• Research experiences that focus on Biomedical Engineering or Biomedical Imaging.
• Summer research opportunities for undergraduate and high school students.
• Summer research opportunities for science, mathematics, and engineering educators, especially those from elementary, middle, and high school, community college, or predominantly undergraduate institutions.

For the above categories, the NIBIB encourages the participation of individuals from diverse racial and ethnic groups and individuals with disabilities and from disadvantaged backgrounds.
