The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) aims to foster educational activities that promote diversity in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. It specifically targets individuals from groups underrepresented in these fields, encouraging them to pursue further education or careers in research. The program focuses on offering courses for skills development and providing research experiences to meet its overarching goal of enhancing diversity and participation in science.
