The goal of the Institutional Biomedical Undergraduate Research Training (BURT) program is to strengthen research training environments and develop a pool of well-trained students who:Complete their baccalaureate degrees in biomedically-related fields, andTransition into and complete biomedical, research-focused higher degree programs (such as Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.).Specifically, this funding announcement provides support to eligible, domestic organizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical undergraduate training and mentoring to help build a strong biomedical research workforce for the nation.Applicant organizations must enroll undergraduate students and have received NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) funding averaging less than $50 million in total costs (direct and F&A/indirect) per year over the last three fiscal years (FY). To promote undergraduate research training opportunities across a range of eligible organizations, the program will accept applications in two tracks:Single Site: To support trainees from a single baccalaureate-degree granting organization.Community College Partnerships: To support community college trainee development through strong collaborations between at least one associate-degree granting organization (that is, a community college) and at least one baccalaureate-degree granting organization.The proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation.

Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports transformative, high-risk/high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral, and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in biomedical and public health. It encourages scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams to develop novel methods to collect, sense, connect, analyze, and interpret data from individuals, devices, and systems, enabling discovery and optimizing health. This includes applying AI in healthcare.
NIH NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Early-Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00) is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) / National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early-stage postdoctoral researchers in cancer-related fields to transition to independent research careers. The award provides a mentored phase (K99) followed by an independent phase (R00), supporting investigators who do not require an extended period of supervised training beyond their doctoral degrees. Eligible applicants must hold a research or clinical doctoral degree and be postdoctoral fellows who have not yet established independent research careers. The March 11, 2026 due date applies; award amounts vary by project.
NIH R25 Summer Research Education Experience Program is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds universities and institutions of higher education to provide summer research experiences in environmental health sciences to high school students, college undergraduates, and science teachers. Administered through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the program aims to attract young people to scientific careers and help teachers communicate about the scientific process more effectively. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions eligible for NIH grants. The application deadline was March 17, 2026.
NIH committed $402 million across 601 multiyear-funded grants in the first eight months of FY 2026 — more than four times the pace of two years ago. The mechanism front-loads obligations into a single fiscal year, leaving less budget for new project starts and squeezing FY 2026 success rates. What researchers and institutions should be doing now.

The notice explicitly defines non-responsive applications: incremental tool improvements, projects primarily focused on social determinants of health, and projects primarily focused on ethical/legal/social issues. With NIH SBIR/STTR just reopened and the OMB Uniform Grants Regulation rewrite reshaping discretionary awards, the NLM clinical informatics line is one of the few stable, well-defined biomedical funding streams left at the agency. Here is how to read it.

The Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act (S. 3971) was signed April 13, 2026, reauthorizing the program through 2031. NIH posted no active SBIR/STTR NOFOs through early June 2026 while it rebuilt its solicitation suite around new statutory requirements. The September 5 standard receipt date is the first real test of the post-freeze pipeline — here is what the unwind looks like and how to position for it.
