The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this NCI R25 program is to support research and educational activities that enhance the diversity of the cancer biomedical workforce. We seek to do this by providing training navigation to support scholars from diverse backgrounds, including individuals from groups shown to be underrepresented in the cancer biomedical workforce. The TEAM program will pilot test the use of training champions (TCs) at minority serving institutions (MSIs) to support the development of educational activities and scientific career development programs to enhance the preparation, productivity and progress of scholars from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, in the Notice of NIH's Interest in Diversity, NOT-OD-20-031. The career development levels of focus for this FOA will include predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, and early-stage investigators (ESIs). TCs are defined as personnel located within the MSI who can assist potential applicants with their plans to apply, attain, or transition to an independent grant award. This RFA will leverage TCs to assist scholars in identifying funding opportunities, networking with appropriate NCI/NIH program directors, and locating resources for competitive application preparation. TCs will also provide additional training support, navigation, and resources to enhance the skills required to successfully identify, prepare, submit, and obtain grants and career development opportunities. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Courses for Skills Development and Mentoring Activities.
