NIH AREA (R15) Grants
UNH is eligible to apply for NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Grants (R15)
AREA grants support small research projects in the biomedical and behavioral sciences conducted by students and faculty in health professional schools, and other academic components that have not been major recipients of NIH research grant funds.
The goals of the AREA grant program play to UNH areas of strength:
* support meritorius research
* expose students to research
*
strengthen research envirionment of the
institution
AREA grants will support small-scale, new or ongoing projects, including:
* pilot research projects and
feasibility studies
* development, testing, and refinement of research
techniques
* secondary analysis of available data sets
* similar discrete
research projects that demonstrate research
capability
Support is for up to 3 years and up to $300,000 (direct costs)
AREA projects should include plans to expose undergraduate and/or graduate students to hands-on research
Multiple PIs are allowed
Preliminary data are not required but are allowed
All NIH Institutes and Centers participate except FIC, NIMHD and NCATS
