PURPOSE OF THIS RFA

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) recognizes 
the increasing trend toward the use of interdisciplinary approaches to 
advance the nation's biomedical research endeavor and thus the need to 
encourage cross-disciplinary training for the next generation of 
researchers.  Therefore, this RFA seeks to encourage cross-training of 
undergraduate students in the quantitative and physical sciences by 
providing opportunities to take part in mentored research experiences 
with NIH-supported biomedical investigators.  Such programs should 
provide innovative, mentored, realistic summer laboratory research 
experiences for an appropriately targeted (as defined by the applicant) 
group of undergraduate students in biomedical research projects at the 
applicant institution.  The proposed plan of undergraduate 
interdisciplinary research training should include strong faculty 
involvement, interactive group activities, presentations, and seminars.

Applications are sought for programs that recruit students from the 
quantitative and physical disciplines such as, but not limited to, 
engineering, mathematics, computer science, and physics, to participate 
in biomedical and/or translational research. 

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

Background

This program seeks to promote the initiation and development of 
distinct, innovative summer research experiences for a cohort of no 
fewer than five and no more than ten undergraduate students who would 
not normally be involved in the biomedical research endeavor.  Programs 
that recruit students from disciplines not traditionally involved in 
biomedical research such as, but not limited to, engineering, 
mathematics, computer science, and physics, to participate in 
interdisciplinary biomedical and/or translational research are 
especially encouraged.

Specific Objectives

The proposed summer program is expected to be specifically designed for 
the undergraduate students majoring in 'non-biological' fields and 
should promote their understanding of the need to apply quantitative 
and related skills to solve biological questions.  Development of 
interest among prospective research scientists in interdisciplinary 
approaches to biomedically related problems is the primary objective of 
this summer apprenticeship program.  The Program Director should be an 
individual with the ability and authority to run an institutional, 
cross-departmental program.  Participating mentors should have active, 
NIH extramurally funded research and preferably should have a 
demonstrated record of student training.  In addition, participating 
mentors must be able to allocate sufficient time to mentor 
undergraduate participants in the summer research experience program.  
Additional information on NIGMS programs is available at the web site: 
http://www.nih.gov/nigms/. 

MECHANISM OF SUPPORT

This RFA will use the NIH education research project (R25) award 
mechanism.  As an applicant you will be solely responsible for 
planning, directing, and executing the proposed project.  This RFA is a 
one-time solicitation.  Future unsolicited applications will not be 
accepted. The anticipated award date is February 2005. 

This RFA uses just-in-time concepts.  It also uses the non-modular 
budgeting formats (see 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm).  This 
program does not require cost sharing as defined in the current NIH 
Grants Policy Statement at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps_2001/part_i_1.htm. 

FUNDS AVAILABLE
 
NIGMS intends to commit approximately $1.5 million in FY 2005 to fund 
15 to 20 new or competing renewal applications.  An applicant may 
request a project period of up to four (4) years and a budget for 
direct costs of up to $85,000 per year.  Because the nature and scope 
of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it 
is anticipated that the size of each award will also vary, but an 
applicant institution can only hold one award.  Although the financial 
plans of NIGMS provide support for this program, awards pursuant to 
this RFA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt 
of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.  At this time, it 
is not known if this RFA will be reissued.

ELIGIBLE INSTITUTIONS

You may submit an application if your institution has any of the 
following characteristics: 

o  Public or private non-profit domestic institutions, such as 
universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories that have a cohort 
of mentors with NIH or other extramural research support.

Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply.

INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS   

Any individual with the skills, knowledge, authority, and resources 
necessary to carry out the proposed mentoring program for 
undergraduates in research is invited to work with his/her institution 
to develop an application for support.  Individuals from 
underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with 
disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH programs.   

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Applicants should fully describe the proposed 'Summer Research 
Experiences for Undergraduates' Program plan and explain how its design 
will meet the goals of this initiative and the needs of the targeted 
student group.  Applicants should describe the criteria to be used in 
the selection of students and their placement under the guidance of 
specific mentors.  A detailed description of potential laboratory 
experiences as well as other enrichment activities planned for the 
students must be included.  The enrichment activities must provide the 
students an understanding of basic biological concepts and of how 
mathematics, physics, and computer science can assist in solving 
biomedical research questions.  Applicants should provide evidence of 
previous experience, if any, in mentoring the targeted population.  The 
first week of the summer experience should also include instruction in 
laboratory safety, discussions of ethical considerations in research, 
and information on career options. 

The applicants need also show evidence of the distinct nature of the 
proposed summer program and a commitment to training the targeted pool.  
Applicants with existing grants to provide summer research experiences 
for undergraduates should describe the existing programs and explain 
how they do not duplicate the proposed research experiences and goals 
of the program designed under this initiative.  Applicants can only 
submit one grant proposal per institution.

NIGMS expects that students who enter a Summer Research Experiences for 
Undergraduates Program will receive support from the institution 
(grantee), i.e., access to equipment and library resources.  Applicants 
should describe the type(s) of institutional resources that would be 
available for this program as well as a plan for monitoring student 
activities to ensure that the program goals are being met.

Undergraduate students selected to participate in the summer programs 
should be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Evaluation Requirements 

Each application must include an evaluation plan that clearly 
identifies measurable objectives, ascertains outcomes, and describes 
the steps to assess effectiveness of the proposed activities.  An 
applicant should describe the current methods and facilities available 
for tracking student participants and must provide details of the 
methodology to be used to assess whether the program is meeting the 
program's objectives.

Ideas on approaching evaluations of this type of program may be found 
on http://www.the-aps.org/education/promote/promote.html.  This site is 
a project of the American Physiological Society that has received 
support from NIGMS.  Although it is targeted to the evaluation of 
programs to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in 
biomedical science, the material on this site may also be used as a 
resource for developing evaluation plans for Summer Research 
Experiences for Undergraduates Programs.  For each noncompeting 
renewal, the Program Director will report on evaluation of the impact 
of the Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates on the student 
career choices in the participating departments.

Reporting Requirements 

The Application for Continuation of a Grant (PHS 2590, rev. 5/01, 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm) or equivalent documentation 
must be submitted to, and be approved by, NIH to noncompetitively fund 
each additional budget period within a previously approved project 
period.  The PHS 2590 (SNAP) application should include in the progress 
report a list of students supported, description of the enrichment 
activities provided, and a list of the mentors participating in the 
summer research experience.  The annual progress report must also 
include information on how the proposed program objectives were 
fulfilled (reference: NIH Grants Policy Statement, NIH Publication No. 
99-8, October 1998).  At the end of the approved project period, a 
final report summarizing the accomplishments of the program (total 
number of students that participated during the entire grant period and 
the effect of their undergraduate research experiences on their current 
career plans) must be submitted.

reviewed, but such applications must include an Introduction addressing 
the previous critique, describing the changes and improvements made, 
and marked text to indicate the changes.  

PEER REVIEW PROCESS  
 
Upon receipt, applications will be reviewed for completeness by the CSR 
and responsiveness by the NIGMS.  Incomplete and/or non-responsive 
applications will be returned to the applicant without further 
consideration.

Applications that are complete and responsive to the RFA will be 
evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate peer 
review group convened by the NIGMS in accordance with the review 
criteria stated below.  As part of the initial merit review, all 
applications will:

o  Receive a written critique
o  Undergo a process in which only those applications deemed to have 
the highest scientific merit, generally the top half of the 
applications under review, will be discussed and assigned a priority 
score
o  Receive a second level review by the NIGMS National Advisory 
Council.

REVIEW CRITERIA

In their written comments, reviewers will be asked to discuss the 
following aspects of the application in order to judge the likelihood 
that the proposed summer research experience will have a substantial 
impact on the pursuit of the stated program goals: 

o  Description of a distinct summer program that includes enrichment 
activities in addition to mentored research experiences and provides 
quantitatively trained students with the background needed to 
understand and pursue biomedical research;  

o  Quality of the proposed summer program activities and likelihood 
that they will provide a meaningful research experience for the 
targeted population;

o  Rationale for the selection procedures of the targeted student 
population and evidence of adequate student pool;

o  Qualifications and experience of the research faculty as 
investigators and mentors, including evidence of adequate NIH-funded 
support;

o  Qualifications and experience of the program director to carry out 
the proposed program;

o  Merit of the measurable objectives and the plan for the evaluation 
of the impact of the program;

o  Evidence of institutional commitment; adequacy and availability of 
research resources and the research environment;

o  Cost-effectiveness of the project, appropriateness of the scope of 
the program and its potential benefit to the students.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW CRITERIA:  In addition to the above criteria, the 
following items will be considered in the determination of scientific 
merit and priority score:

PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS FROM RESEARCH RISK: The involvement of 
human subjects and protections from research risk relating to their 
participation in the proposed research will be assessed. (See criteria 
included in the section on Federal Citations, below.)
 
INCLUSION OF WOMEN, MINORITIES AND CHILDREN IN RESEARCH: The adequacy 
of plans to include subjects from both genders, all racial and ethnic 
groups (and subgroups), and children as appropriate for the scientific

REQUIRED FEDERAL CITATIONS 
HUMAN SUBJECTS PROTECTION: Federal regulations (45CFR46) require that 
applications and proposals involving humans subjects be evaluated with 
reference to the risks to the subjects, the adequacy of the protection 
against these risks, the potential benefits of the research to the 
subjects and others, and the importance of the knowledge gained or to 
be gained.
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/45cfr46.htm 

INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN CLINICAL RESEARCH: It is the 
policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and their 
sub-populations must be included in all NIH-supported clinical research 
projects unless a clear and compelling justification is provided 
indicating that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the health 
of the subjects or the purpose of the research. This policy results 
from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 
103-43).

All investigators proposing clinical research should read the "NIH 
Guidelines for Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in 
Clinical Research - Amended, October, 2001," published in the NIH Guide 
for Grants and Contracts on October 9, 2001 
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-001.html); a 
complete copy of the updated Guidelines are available at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/women_min/guidelines_amended_10_2001
.htm.  The amended policy incorporates: the use of an NIH definition 
of clinical research; updated racial and ethnic categories in 
compliance with the new OMB standards; clarification of language 
governing NIH-defined Phase III clinical trials consistent with the new 
PHS Form 398; and updated roles and responsibilities of NIH staff and 
the extramural community.  The policy continues to require for all NIH-
defined Phase III clinical trials that: a) all applications or 
proposals and/or protocols must provide a description of plans to 
conduct analyses, as appropriate, to address differences by sex/gender 
and/or racial/ethnic groups, including subgroups if applicable; and b) 
investigators must report annual accrual and progress in conducting 
analyses, as appropriate, by sex/gender and/or racial/ethnic group 
differences.

INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AS PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN 
SUBJECTS: The NIH maintains a policy that children (i.e., individuals 
under the age of 21) must be included in all human subjects research, 
conducted or supported by the NIH, unless there are scientific and 
ethical reasons not to include them. This policy applies to all initial 
(Type 1) applications submitted for receipt dates after October 1, 1998.

All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should 
read the "NIH Policy and Guidelines" on the inclusion of children as 
participants in research involving human subjects that is available at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/children/children.htm

REQUIRED EDUCATION ON THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECT PARTICIPANTS:
NIH policy requires education on the protection of human 
subject participants for all investigators submitting NIH proposals for 
research involving human subjects.  You will find this policy 
announcement in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Announcement, 
dated June 5, 2000, at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice
-files/NOT-OD-00-039.html.

HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS (hESC): Criteria for federal funding of 
research on hESCs can be found at 
http://stemcells.nih.gov/index.asp and at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-005.html.  
Only research using hESC lines that are registered in the NIH Human 
Embryonic Stem Cell Registry will be eligible for Federal funding (see 
http://escr.nih.gov).   It is the responsibility of the applicant to 
provide the official NIH identifier(s)for the hESC line(s)to be used in 
the proposed research.  Applications that do not provide this 
information will be returned without review. 

PUBLIC ACCESS TO RESEARCH DATA THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT: 
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110 has been 
revised to provide public access to research data through the Freedom 
of Information Act (FOIA) under some circumstances.  Data that are (1) 
first produced in a project that is supported in whole or in part with 
Federal funds and (2) cited publicly and officially by a Federal agency 
in support of an action that has the force and effect of law (i.e., a 
regulation) may be accessed through FOIA.  It is important for 
applicants to understand the basic scope of this amendment.  NIH has 
provided guidance at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/a110/a110_guidance_dec1999.htm.

Applicants may wish to place data collected under this RFA in a public 
archive, which can provide protections for the data and manage the 
distribution for an indefinite period of time.  If so, the application 
should include a description of the archiving plan in the study design 
and include information about this in the budget justification section 
of the application. In addition, applicants should think about how to 
structure informed consent statements and other human subjects 
procedures given the potential for wider use of data collected under 
this award.

STANDARDS FOR PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION: 
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) issued final 
modification to the "Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable 
Health Information", the "Privacy Rule," on August 14, 2002.  The 
Privacy Rule is a federal regulation under the Health Insurance 
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 that governs the 
protection of individually identifiable health information, and is 
administered and enforced by the DHHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR). 
Those who must comply with the Privacy Rule (classified under the Rule 
as "covered entities") must do so by April 14, 2003 (with the exception 
of small health plans which have an extra year to comply).  

Decisions about applicability and implementation of the Privacy Rule 
reside with the researcher and his/her institution. The OCR website 
(http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/) provides information on the Privacy Rule, 
including a complete Regulation Text and a set of decision tools on "Am 
I a covered entity?"  Information on the impact of the HIPAA Privacy 
Rule on NIH processes involving the review, funding, and progress 
monitoring of grants, cooperative agreements, and research contracts 
can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/
notice-files/NOT-OD-03-025.html.

URLs IN NIH GRANT APPLICATIONS OR APPENDICES: All applications and 
proposals for NIH funding must be self-contained within specified page 
limitations. Unless otherwise specified in an NIH solicitation, 
Internet addresses (URLs) should not be used to provide information 
necessary to the review because reviewers are under no obligation to 
view the Internet sites.   Furthermore, we caution reviewers that their 
anonymity may be compromised when they directly access an Internet 
site.

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010: The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to 
achieving the health promotion and disease prevention objectives of 
"Healthy People 2010," a PHS-led national activity for setting priority 
areas. This RFA is related to one or more of the priority areas. 
Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2010" at 
http://www.health.gov/healthypeople.

AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS: This program is described in the Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance at http://www.cfda.gov/ and is not subject 
to the intergovernmental review requirements of Executive Order 12372 
or Health Systems Agency review.  Awards are made under the 
authorization of Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act 
as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR 52 
and 45 CFR Parts 74 and 92. All awards are subject to the terms and 
conditions, cost principles, and other considerations described in the 
NIH Grants Policy Statement.  The NIH Grants Policy Statement can be 
found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/policy.htm.

The PHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to provide a smoke-
free workplace and discourage the use of all tobacco products.  In 
addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits 
smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a 
facility) in which regular or routine education, library, day care, 
health care, or early childhood development services are provided to 
children.  This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect and 
advance the physical and mental health of the American people.
