Amount: 

$500,000 

Amount Note: 

This funding opportunity will use the Institutional Research and
Academic Career Development Award (K12) award mechanism. Although no
specific funds are set aside for this Program Announcement, it is
anticipated that one or two new awards may be made annually at an
average cost of $500,000 in their first year. 

Eligibility: 

Nonprofit and for-profit organizations as well as academic institutions
may submit applications. An application must be submitted on behalf of a
consortium of domestic, private or public, educational institutions. The
applicant institution must be the primary site of the postdoctoral
research experience. A consortium must include one or more partners that
are MSIs as defined by one or both of the following guidelines: 1. A
public or private nonprofit university, two-year or four-year college,
or other institution offering undergraduate, graduate, or
health-professional degrees, with a traditionally high (more than 50
percent) underrepresented minority student enrollment 2. A public or
private nonprofit university, two-year or four-year college, or other
institution offering undergraduate, graduate, or health-professional
degrees with a student enrollment, a significant proportion of which
(but not necessarily more than 50 percent) is derived from
underrepresented minorities, provided the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services determines that said institution has a
demonstrated commitment to the special encouragement of, and assistance
to, underrepresented minority faculty, students, and investigators; or
an Indian tribe that has a recognized governing body and that performs
substantial governmental functions, or an Alaska Regional Corporation
(ARC) The Program Director should have experience in managing career
development programs and success in preparing investigators for
independent research careers. Additionally, they should have experience

Abstract: 

The Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award
(IRACDA) program will support postdoctoral candidates in their research
at research intensive-institutions and in teaching assignments at
minority serving institutions (MSIs). It is expected that this
initiative will provide an important new resource to motivate the next
generation of scientists at MSIs. \\The <file:///\\The>  primary
objective of the research career development program is to prepare
qualified individuals for careers that significantly impact the nation's
research agenda. Within the framework of the program's overall
commitment to excellence and projected need for investigators in
particular areas of research, attention must be given to recruiting
postdoctoral candidates from minority groups underrepresented nationally
in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. \\For <file:///\\For>  the
purposes of this program announcement, underrepresented minorities are
individuals belonging to a particular ethnic or racial group that has
been determined by the applicant institution to be underrepresented in
biomedical or behavioral research. Historically, individuals who have
been found to be underrepresented in biomedical or behavioral research
include, but are not limited to, U.S. citizens who are Hispanic
Americans, African Americans, Native Americans (including Alaska
Natives) and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands. However, the IRACDA
program is not intended to be limited to underrepresented minorities.
\\The <file:///\\The>  objectives of this initiative are\- to enhance
research-oriented teaching at MSIs;\- to increase or enhance the
research and other skills needed in developing scientists to conduct
high quality research in an academic environment;\- to promote links
between research-intensive institutions and MSIs that can lead to
further collaborations in research and teaching; and\- to increase the
number of well-qualified underrepresented minority students from the
partner MSIs entering competitive careers in biomedical research.
