SuRE grants through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) support research capacity building at eligible institutions to increase funding success and enrich the campus research environment. Teaching an underserved student population while meeting specific NIH criteria qualifies an institution for assistance from the SuRE Resource Center to develop competitive grants and obtain funding.

The SuRE Resource Center guides under-resourced academic institutions as they strive to build a research program on their campus. Our services are free and include training, seed money, and mentoring to faculty and research administrative staff. Located at the University of Kentucky and funded by the NIH, we work to make research opportunities available to students from diverse backgrounds so that their voices are part of our national scientific community.
