  2. National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)NIGMS primarily supports basic biomedicalresearch and training. • Cell Biology and Biophysics • Genetics and Developmental Biology • Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological • Chemistry • Bioinformatics and Computational Biology • Minority Opportunities in Research

  3. MOREMISSION To increase the number of persons from underrepresented groups engaged in biomedical or behavioral research.

  4. HOW CAN MORE HELP YOU Faculty Development & Research Support Student Training

  5. NIGMS NIGMS MORE PROGRAMS (Div. of Minority Opportunities in Research) MORE MBRS (Minority Biomedical Research Support) MARC (Minority Access to Research Careers) SPECIAL INITIATIVES

  6. MBRS: RISE, IMSD MORE Programs Faculty SCORE, Fellowships Post-Doc Grad Student IRACDA Senior Fellowships Junior PREP Sophomore MARC U-STAR Freshman BRIDGES BRIDGES

  7. NIGMS RISE Program Overview 2-yr, 4-yr, & Graduate Students Student Development Activities: research experiences, workshops special courses, seminars, & scientific meetings, etc. Increase the number of URMs engaged in biomedical or behavioral research

  8. IMSD Program Overview (Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity) NIGMS • Undergraduate and Graduate Students at Research Institutions • Student Development Activities: research experiences, workshops, seminars, special courses, scientific meetings, etc. • Enhance academic competitiveness for the next step towards a research career IMSD Students All students from groups underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research IMSD Students

  9. NIGMS U*STAR Overview(Undergraduate Student Training in Academic Research) Honors Program Juniors/senior majors in biomedical sciences Student & Institutional Activities: research experiences, workshops, courses & curricula, seminars, scientific meetings, etc. Increase number of competitively trained URMs enrolling in Ph.D. Programs

  10. NIGMS PREP Overview College Graduates with B.S. Degree in Sciences Mentored Research at Graduate Institutions, 2 year-support (Apprentice Scientists) Application to Ph.D. Programs Increase the number of competitively trained URMs enrolling in Ph.D. Programs

  11. NIGMS SCORE Program Overview Development of Research Competence Other External Support Research Advancement Award (SC1) Research Continuance Award (SC3) Pilot Project Award (SC2) Institutional Development Award (S06)

  12. FELLOWSHIPS, DEVELOPMENT AWARDS & RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTS FOR FACULTY&STUDENTS

  13. GRAD. STUDENT PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS (F31) • Encourages students from minority groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences to seek the research doctorate. • Students must already be enrolled in a Ph.D. program. • Students must identify a sponsor for mentored research. • Up to 5 years of support (stipend, tuition & fees).

  14. FACULTY PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHPS(F34) • Provides an opportunity for eligible faculty who lack • the Ph.D. degree to obtain the research doctorate. • Faculty must be enrolled in a Ph.D. program. • Faculty must intend to return to the minority serving • institution after the training period. • Five-Year max. support: stipend–up to $37,476; • tuition/fees/institutional allowance.

  15. MORE Faculty Development Awards (K01) • Offers faculty (with Ph.D. degree) an opportunity to update their research skills through high quality research experiences. • Support for eligible faculty to spend the summer (or one academic term) every year for 2 to 5 years in a research intensive lab. • Ideally, experience should lead to long-termcollaborations. • Provides salary; supplies, equipment, & travel. Direct cost up to $50,000/year.

  16. MARC SENIOR FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS(F33) • Provides an opportunity to eligible faculty to update their research skills and/or move into new areas of research through intensive research in a state-of-the-art research environment. • Candidate must have received the Ph.D. at least 7 yrs. before, and be a full-time faculty in biomedical sciences or mathematics for at least 3 yrs. • Candidate must intend to return to the minority institution after the training period. • Two-Year max. support: stipend–up to $51,036, plus institutional allowance.

  17. NIGMS OTHER SUPPORT FROMNIGMS & NIH

  18. NIGMS BRIDGES TO THE FUTURE PROGRAMS(NIGMS Partnership with NCMHD) • Institutional support to help URM students make the transition from 2- year community college to 4-year baccalaureate program, and from MS degree programs to Ph.D. programs in biomedical sciences. • BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM:A partnership between 2-year colleges that award the Associates degree and institutions awarding the Baccalaureate degree in biomedical sciences. • DOCTORATE PROGRAM:A partnership between M.S. degree programs and institutions awarding the Ph.D. degree in biomedical sciences. • Provides tuition remission, salary, supplies.

  19. Research Supplements for Underrepresented Minorities • This is a NIH-wide program: principal investigators holding NIH research grants may request supplemental funds to support minority scientists and students. • The types of supplements available are: • High School Students • Undergraduate Students • Graduate Research Assistants • Postdoctoral Training • Investigators

  20. Advance your research career. Increase the no. of URMs in biomedical & behavioral research. Improve the academic & research training environment of your institution. Challenges & Opportunities
