Weekly News for
April 14, 2023
Three things to know this week:
1. NIH Instrumentation Grant Program for Resource-Limited Institutions (S10). Info webinar on May 3. Apply by July 3.
2. Enhance Science #FaceOfScience on April 26. Show the world what scientists look like with this social media campaign (ps. also tag us to show the faces of KENTUCKY scientists!).

As part of NIH’s UNITE initiative to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in biomedical research, NIGMS is pleased to announce the release of the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO): Instrumentation Grant Program for Resource-Limited Institutions (RLI-S10). The RLI-S10 program aims to enhance research capacity and educational opportunities at resource-limited institutions by providing funds to purchase modern, scientific instrumentation. Applications may propose purchase of instruments that support basic, translational, clinical, or biomedically related behavioral science. The instruments may be used in formal courses for teaching purposes as well as for research projects.

First application due date: July 3, 2023
Earliest start date: April 2024

Applications for the RLI-S10 program must list three major users, which include researchers who have a scientific need for the instrument or those who wish to use it for teaching upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses. The program director/principal investigator and major users aren’t required to have current NIH awards at the time of submission.

The total awards range from $25,000 to $250,000. Eligibility for the RLI-S10 program is restricted to institutions that receive limited NIH funding. Prior to preparing a submission, applicants should read the NOFO instructions carefully.

NIGMS encourages anyone who is interested in applying to the RLI-S10 NOFO to learn more about the program by attending their upcoming webinar on May 3, 3 to 4:30 pm ET, via Zoom (Meeting ID: 160 300 2485; Passcode: NIGMS).

For more information about the RLI-S10 program, contact Dorothy Beckett.

NIH Institutional Excellence in DEIA in Biomedical and Behavioral Research Prize

The prize competition will recognize and reward biomedical and behavioral science institutions that have identified gaps in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) and designed, implemented, and evaluated interventions to address them. The prize competition also aims to identify effective practices for enhancing DEIA within faculty, postdocs, and student bodies that can be feasibly disseminated for adoption by other institutions.

NIH will award $100,000 to up to 10 winners. Up to five of these awards will go to limited-resource institutions. Apply by Sept 26More
