Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Award (R16 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Award is a funding opportunity that supports research capacity building at eligible higher education institutions by funding investigator-initiated biomedical research in basic, social, clinical, behavioral, or translational science that falls in the mission areas of the NIH. The purpose of SuRE awards is to provide support for investigator-initiated research at resource-limited institutions by full-time faculty who are not currently funded by any NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs) with the exception of SuRE or SuRE-First awards, to furnish students with high-quality undergraduate and/or graduate research experiences, and to enhance the institutional scientific research culture. • The award is limited to institutions of higher education that award undergraduate (B.S. or B.A.) and/or graduate degrees in biomedical sciences; and have received no more than $6 million dollars per year (total costs) from NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs) in each of the preceding two fiscal years; and enroll at least 25% of undergraduate students supported by Pell grants based on the most recent two years of data available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) database maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics. • The award ceiling is $100,000. • The estimated award date is July 1, 2026. • The opportunity is open to public and state controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education.
