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.
With only 26% of new applications getting approved, you have to do everything possible to stand out from the crowd and convince the NIH you are worthy.
Inside this instructional pack you will get all the specifics of R15 grants to help you decide whether or not you qualify, what to include and exclude in your application, the importance of contacting the appropriate IC personnel, and much more. Plus, follow these insider tips to ensure you include the specific criteria reviewers are looking for.
The R15 award is very competitive, but for good reason.

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 the application process.
The three main goals of the R15 grant clearly endeavor to encourage students to continue their interests in biomedical research, subsequently becoming talented investigators themselves in the future.
