Research Experiences and/or Mentoring Networks through Research Education to Enhance Clinician-Scientists' Participation in NIDCDs Research (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that help recruit individuals with specific specialty or disciplinary backgrounds to research careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. This funding opportunity is specifically focused on enhancing clinician-scientists' participation in research conducted by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). The program aims to develop research education programs and mentoring networks that will prepare and encourage clinicians to engage in research related to deafness and communication disorders. This R25 grant mechanism is designed to strengthen the research workforce by providing structured educational experiences that bridge clinical practice and research careers in the NIDCD mission areas.
