Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (Parent T32)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (Parent T32) to eligible domestic institutions. The purpose of this grant is to enhance predoctoral and postdoctoral research training and ensure a diverse and highly trained workforce for the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research agenda. The research training programs should incorporate didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation. Some key aspects of this opportunity include: * The grant is for institutional research training and is not for individual research projects. * Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and others. * The grant does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. * The funding opportunity announcement does not specify a particular research area, but rather lists several possible areas of research that may be supported.
