Description

-Purpose. This FOA provides updated guidelines for the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) Support of Competitive Research (SCORE) Program SC3 mechanism for Research Continuance Awards. -Mechanism of Support. The SCORE Program is a developmental program designed to increase the research competitiveness of faculty at the minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and the research capabilities of MSIs. To achieve these objectives, three funding opportunities exist for individual investigator-initiated research awards according to their developmental level. The mechanisms used for these funding opportunities are SC1 (PAR-08-026), SC2 (PAR-08-027) and SC3 (PAR-08-028) awards for individual investigators. Descriptions of the SC1 and SC2 mechanisms may be found at the NIGMS website, http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Minority/MBRS/. This FOA will use the SC3 grant mechanism, which is the individual investigator-initiated research continuance award for faculty members at intermediate formative stages of their research career who seek to improve their scholarly development by engaging in meritorious research projects of limited scope, and publishing in a given biomedical/behavioral area limited to the NIH mission.
