NCRR - MISSION - 10-95
The mission of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)
is to be a "catalyst for discovery" for NIH-supported investigations
throughout the nation by providing a broad range of technologies and
resources that enable research to thrive. NCRR supports primary
research to create and develop these critical resources and
technologies, promotes resource sharing and collaborations within and
across scientific disciplines, and provides quick, flexible
approaches to new and emerging needs of both biomedical and
behavioral investigators. NCRR support is in four areas: Biomedical
Technology, Clinical Research, Comparative Medicine, and Research
Infrastructure.
NCRR - RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE (CFDA 93.389 and 93.167) - 10-95
Infrastructure addresses the underrepresentation of minority
investigators, enhances the research environment at minority colleges
and universities that award doctoral degrees in the health sciences,
improves biomedical and behavioral research facilities through
matching grants for construction and renovation, facilitates
collaboration between minority baccalaureate/masters degree granting
institutions and research intensive universities, increases the pool
of minority high school students interested in science careers,
enhances K-12 science teacher education and skills, and improves
pre-college science education and the public's understanding of
science.
Science Education Partnership Award (R25)
The objective of the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA)
is to encourage scientists to work with educators and community
organizations to improve student (K-12) and public understanding of
science, and increase interest of young people in science careers.
The SEPA Program encourages and supports the initiation of
cooperative efforts among diverse elements in the scientific and
education community, including universities, elementary and secondary
schools, foundations, industry, the media, and museums, to develop
model programs for increasing scientific literacy. The model programs
span many science areas, including AIDS, nutrition and human growth,
and modern genetics.
