Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to announce a virtual "office hour" for people interested in applying to NIGMS' Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) and Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE) programs. These research training programs share the goal of developing a diverse pool of scientists earning a biomedical Ph.D., but have different institutional eligibility based on NIH Research Project Grant (RPG) support.

IMSD eligibility is limited to research-intensive institutions (i.e., those with an average of funding greater than or equal to $7.5 million total costs over the last 3 fiscal years) while G-RISE eligibility is limited to research-active institutions (i.e., those with an average of NIH RPG funding less than $7.5 million total costs over the last 3 fiscal years).  During the meeting, we'll provide a brief overview of the FOAs and answer your programmatic, budget, or scientific review questions.

The next application due date for both the IMSD and G-RISE funding opportunity announcements is January 30, 2023.

Those interested in joining the office hour are strongly encouraged to review the 2021 IMSD/G-RISE webinar and companion slide deck.
