What the grant funds

SuRE is a research capacity building program designed to develop and sustain research excellence in U.S. higher education institutions that receive limited NIH research support and serve students from groups underrepresented in biomedical research (see NOT-OD-20-031) with an emphasis on providing students with research opportunities and enriching the research environments at the applicant institutions. The purpose of SuRE-First awards is to support research grants for faculty investigators at eligible institutions who have not had prior independent external research grants.
