The purpose of this Notice is to amend funding opportunity announcement (FOA) PAR-11-292 entitled Educational Programs for Demography and Population Science, Family Planning and Contraception, and Reproductive Research (R25) as follows:
Part 2. Full Text of Announcement
Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
Current text (end of Section 1)
The audience for the educational program may include
individuals from the upper undergraduate to the Assistant Professor level.
Programs comprising for-credit courses that are primarily aimed at students or
participants at a single institution are not within the scope of this program.
The proposed research education program may complement ongoing research
training and education occurring at the applicant institution, but the proposed
educational experiences must be distinct from those research training and
research education programs currently receiving federal support. The R25 is not
a substitute for an institutional research training program (T32) and cannot be
used to circumvent or supplement Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service
Award (NRSA) mechanisms.
Amended text
The audience for the educational program may include
individuals from the upper undergraduate to the Assistant Professor level. This
mechanism is not intended to support training activities that limit participation
to a single institution or consortium of institutions. Programs comprising
for-credit courses that are primarily aimed at students or participants at a
single institution are not within the scope of this program.
The proposed research education program may complement ongoing research
training and education occurring at the applicant institution, but the proposed
educational experiences must be distinct from those research training and
research education programs currently receiving federal support. The R25 is not
a substitute for an institutional research training program (T32) and cannot be
used to circumvent or supplement Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service
Award (NRSA) mechanisms.
All other aspects of this FOA remain unchanged.
