NIH<\/strong> Team-Based Design in Biomedical Engineering Education (R25 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) <\/strong><\/p>\n

URL: <\/strong>https:\/\/grants.nih.gov\/grants\/guide\/pa-files\/PAR-19-215.html<\/a><\/p>\n

OBJECTIVES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH.\u00a0 The over-arching goal of this NIBIB R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and\/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation\u2019s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs.<\/p>\n

To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on\u00a0Courses for Skills Development<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This FOA seeks to support programs that\u00a0include innovative approaches to enhance biomedical engineering design education to ensure a future workforce that can meet the nation\u2019s needs in biomedical research and healthcare technologies.<\/p>\n

Applications are encouraged from institutions that propose to establish new or to enhance existing team-based design courses or programs in undergraduate biomedical engineering departments or other degree-granting programs with biomedical engineering tracks\/minors. This FOA targets the education of undergraduate biomedical engineering\/bioengineering students in a team-based environment. While current best practices such as multidisciplinary\/interdisciplinary education, introduction to the regulatory pathway and other issues related to the commercialization of medical devices, and clinical immersion remain encouraged components of a strong BME program, this FOA also challenges institutions to propose other novel, innovative and\/or ground-breaking activities that can form the basis of the next generation of biomedical engineering design education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FUNDING INFORMATION<\/strong>:<\/strong> Direct costs of up to $20,000 per year may be requested.\u00a0 Programs that include a clinical immersion program outside the academic year and lasting 6 to 10 weeks may request an additional $20,000 to cover participant costs (see Participant Costs section below), yielding a total of $40,000 in direct costs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This FOA does not require cost sharing<\/p>\n
