The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has published NOFOs for the SuRE (PAR-24-144) and SuRE-First (PAR-24-145) R16 grant mechanisms. Notable changes include:
Deadlines
Beginning in 2024, each SuRE R16 grant now has two annual submission deadlines, with the due dates being the same for each. The next due date for both SuRE and Sure-First applications is May 29, 2024.
- 2024: May 29 and Sept 27
- 2025: May 28 and Sept 29
- 2026: May 27 and Sept 28
PEDP Attachement
The NIH now requires that an attachment called a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspective (PEDP) be included with all R16 submissions. This is a summary of strategies to advance the scientific and technical merit of the proposed project through inclusivity. The PEDP is submitted as a one-page "Other Attachment" to be included in grant applications. You may learn more by visiting this NIH page on PEDPs.
SuRE Finding & Evaluating Funding Opportunities - Mar 25, 2024, 2-3pm EDT (10-11am AKDT) - Join a review of best practices for finding, vetting, and reading funding opportunities (FOAs) so that you can develop responsive research proposals.
