NIA Expanding Research in AD/ADRD (ERA) Summer Research Education Program (R25 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is soliciting applications to support the development and implementation of summer research education programs for high school students, undergraduates, or science teachers. The proposed programs will provide intensive summer research experiences in the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (ADRD) field, with the goal of encouraging further study or participation in biomedical and behavioral research. • The programs will support research experiences for high school students, undergraduates, or science teachers. • The programs will provide exposure to AD/ADRD research and encourage further study or participation in biomedical and behavioral research. • The programs will not allow participants to lead an independent clinical trial, but will allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. • The NIA intends to utilize the R25 activity code for this opportunity. • Applications are not being solicited at this time, but notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.
