Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 24 144
The Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Award (R16, Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to strengthen research capacity at resource-limited colleges and universities by funding investigator-initiated biomedical research projects. The program supports a wide range of NIH-relevant science, including basic, social, clinical, behavioral, and translational research, as long as the proposed work aligns with NIH mission areas. A key feature of SuRE is that it is not just about producing research results; it is also meant to build a stronger, more sustainable research environment at the applicant institution by supporting faculty research programs, creating meaningful hands-on research opportunities for students, and improving the overall culture of scientific investigation on campus.
A central eligibility focus is the investigator and institutional context. SuRE is intended for faculty investigators working at eligible, resource-limited higher education institutions who are not currently supported by any NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The main exception is that investigators who have SuRE or SuRE-First awards are not automatically excluded on that basis alone, but otherwise the program is aimed at researchers who do not already have NIH RPG funding. The broader goal is to expand NIH-supported research participation by reaching institutions and investigators who have historically had fewer opportunities to compete for and sustain major federal biomedical research funding.
Eligible applicant organizations include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and certain other qualifying institutional categories. The announcement explicitly highlights several types of institutions that are included among eligible applicants: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). These categories reflect the program's emphasis on broadening participation and strengthening research ecosystems at institutions that often serve large proportions of students from groups underrepresented in biomedical research.
The opportunity is strictly limited to domestic applicants and domestic project components. Non-U.S. (foreign) organizations are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible either. In addition, foreign components, as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed under this funding opportunity. Another major boundary is in the title itself: clinical trials are not allowed under this R16 program announcement, so proposed studies must be designed to avoid meeting the NIH definition of a clinical trial.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program administered by the NIH. The funding opportunity number is PAR-24-144, and it falls under multiple NIH CFDA listings (including 93.113, 93.121, 93.172, 93.173, 93.242, 93.273, 93.279, 93.286, 93.361, 93.398, 93.846, 93.847, 93.853, 93.855, 93.859, 93.866, 93.867, and 93.879), reflecting that it can align with different NIH Institutes and Centers depending on scientific topic. The opportunity was created on March 14, 2024, and the original closing date listed is January 7, 2027. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating the maximum award amount referenced in the provided source data.
In practical terms, SuRE is best understood as a research-project grant aimed at helping a faculty member launch or strengthen an NIH-relevant research program in an environment with fewer research resources, while simultaneously embedding student training and mentorship into the project. Reviewers and program staff typically expect the work to be scientifically sound and feasible, but also to meaningfully contribute to long-term capacity building at the institution through sustained research activity, student development, and an improved research culture.Apply for PAR 24 144
