2021-2022 Faculty Research Mentoring Cohort Program
The ETSU Faculty Research Mentoring Cohort is accepting proposals for the 2021-2022 academic year in partnership with the Office of Planning and Decision Support, the Provost’s Office, and the Applied Social Research Laboratory. The goal of this microgrant/mentoring program is to develop a research community to support faculty research design knowledge, skills and abilities. The program will support a select group of ETSU faculty in designing and implementing systematic, rigorous research investigations.

NIH R15 Eligibility
NIH restricts eligibility for R15 awards to institutions that receive less than $6M/year in NIH funding in 4 of the last 7 years; calculated on an institution-wide (total) basis for REAP awards to health professional colleges and calculated college-wide for AREA awards to non-professional biomedical sciences colleges.
ETSU has enjoyed many years of NIH REAP eligibility, receiving more than $7M in total NIH funding in 2020 and more than $6M in 2019 and 2018. Given this level of success, we expect to surpass $6M in total NIH awards again in 2021, making ETSU health sciences faculty ineligible for at least 4 years. The last date we will be eligible to submit REAP R15 applications will be for the June 25, 2021 deadline.
At this time, faculty in the non-professional colleges, including Arts and Sciences, remain eligible for R15 AREA awards as ETSU has not yet reached the $6M/year threshold for even one of the required 4 of 7 years.
Please contact ORSPA if you have any questions.
