Centers of Excellence at 1890 Institutions (1890 COEs)

The intent of the 1890 COEs Program is to provide support for Centers of Excellence that were originally established in 2015 in conjunction with the 125th Anniversary of the Second Morrill Act of 1890. The 1890 COEs are hosted by 1890 Land-Grant Institutions with the goals of: 1) increasing profitability and rural prosperity in underserved farming communities; 2) addressing critical needs for enhanced international training and development; and 3) increasing diversity in the science, technology, engineering, agriculture and mathematics (STEAM) pipeline.

There is limited genomic and epigenomic data from U.S. racial/ethnic minorities. NIMHD is looking for investigators to bridge this gap with this #FundingOpportunity to identify the mechanisms by which social factors lead to epigenetic changes and gene function that affect minority health and/or health disparities.

Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities (INRO) promotes biomedical research training opportunities in allergic, immunologic, or infectious diseases. Applicants for INRO should be talented senior-level undergraduate students, those who have recently completed a master’s degree, or those who are in their final year of a master’s degree program. Through INRO, the NIAID training office sponsors postbac trainees from U.S. populations underrepresented in the biomedical sciences and those dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion — as defined by Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity Notice. Individuals from underrepresented populations and/or disadvantaged backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the biomedical sciences and be actively pursuing a postbaccalaureate (postbac) research training position – also called an Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) – in NIAID at the time of their INRO application. If selected to attend the visit, and if offered a position, candidates should be prepared to confirm a laboratory by March 1, with a start date of June 15 of the visit year.
