Advancing Diversity in Aging Research

through Undergraduate Education (NIA)

Scope: The National Institute on Aging seeks (R25)

education project applications for the Advancing

Diversity in Aging Research through Undergraduate

Education announcement to support educational

activities that encourage individuals from diverse

backgrounds to pursue further studies or careers in

research.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, April 25, 2021; proposals,

May 25, 2021.

Funds: The number of awards depends on

appropriations and the submission of a sufficient

number of quality applications. The maximum project

period is ve years.

Eligibility: Colleges and universities; for-prot

organizations, including small businesses; nonprot

organizations; state, local, special district, and Native

American tribal governments; and independent school

districts, among others.

Areas: NIA said the solicitation supports creative

educational activities with a primary focus on: research

experiences, for example, for undergraduate students: to

provide hands-on exposure to research in the MSTEM

elds as they relate to aging, to reinforce their intent

to graduate with a science degree, and/or to prepare

them for graduate school admissions and/or careers

in research, where appropriate, to the interests and

abilities of the students. Some experiences may be

planned for the academic year while others may be

designed as summer experiences.

system biomolecular condensates (NIH)

Scope: The National Institutes of Health seeks (R21)

exploratory/developmental research grant applications

for the Blueprint for Neuroscience Research–Tools

and Technologies to Explore Nervous System

Biomolecular Condensates announcement to support

the development of innovative tools and/or technologies

to monitor or manipulate biomolecular condensates

(BMCs) in vivo and enable investigators to adopt

these tools to answer outstanding questions in basic

neuroscience.

Deadline: Letters of Intent, Aug. 15, 2021; proposals,

Sept. 15, 2021.

or propose to develop or test their tools or technologies

in a cellular, organismal, or other well-justied system

relevant to nervous system biological processes or

disease. The goal is to support projects that go beyond

what can be done with current technologies and move

towards monitoring and manipulation of BMCs in the

nervous systems of living organisms.
