R15 AREA Grants: How to Determine Your Eligibility &
Write a Winning Proposal
The Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA), also know as the R15, is a highly-competitive (but attainable) grant for supporting hands-on student involvement in research. For the R15, composing a winning proposal is only half the battle – you’ll need to do some work upfront to determine your eligibility for the grant.According to the NIH, the R15 grant program has three main goals:
If your research is meritorious, it should be a renewable form of investigation and should have an impact on peer-reviewed contributions, according to Dr. Sridhar Mani, Professor of Medicine and Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York. The R15 award is very competitive, but for good reason. As you’re going through the steps toward submitting an AREA application, always keep in mind that this is a research grant, not a teaching grant. The R15 is not for all projects — or for all investigators. So be sure to double-check your eligibility for the R15 grant before you start laboring over the application process. |
