nih. gov NIH Research Enhancement Award (R15) The NIH Research Enhancement Award (R15) program supports small-scale research projects at educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the nation’s research scientists but that have not been major recipients of NIH support.
The goals of the R15 are to support meritorious research, expose students to research, and strengthen the institution’s research environment. This program replaces the NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Parent Announcement , which expired on January 7, 2019, and will not be reissued.
The R15 activity code now includes two programs: Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) for Undergraduate–Focused Institutions Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed) at grants. nih. gov Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Required) at grants.

gov Early Career Research (ECR) Award (R21) The NIDCD Early Career Research (ECR) R21 Award supports both basic and clinical research from scientists who are beginning to establish an independent research career. It cannot be used for thesis or dissertation research.
The research must be focused on one or more of the areas within the biomedical and behavioral scientific mission of NIDCD: hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, or language.
The NIDCD ECR Award R21 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; translational research; outcomes research; and development of new research technology.
Irrespective of the type of project, the intent of the NIDCD ECR Award R21 is for the program director(s)/principal investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) to obtain sufficient preliminary data for a subsequent R01 application.

The Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) Program funds grants for innovative educational programs that create partnerships among biomedical and clinical researchers and K-12 teachers and schools, museums and science centers, media experts, and other educational organizations. The program aims to improve STEM literacy through innovative P-12 and informal science education. Projects can be classroom-based or informal science education projects in venues such as science centers, museums, and libraries.
Social disconnection and Suicide Risk in Late Life (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH). This funding opportunity is a companion to the R21 mechanism and also aims to stimulate research to understand the link between social disconnection and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. It focuses on identifying mechanisms by which social disconnection confers risk for, and social integration protects against, suicidal thoughts and behaviors in late life. This R01 mechanism is appropriate for applications with preliminary data.
