NRSA INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH TRAINING GRANTS (T32) NINR Release Date: January 14, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-NR-02-001 National Institute of Nursing Research The Program Announcement "NIH National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training Grants," PA-00-103, was published in the NIH Guide on June 1, 2000, and is located at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-00-103.html. It seeks to encourage eligible institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for individuals, selected by the institution, who are training for careers in specified areas of biomedical and behavioral research. The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) views the T32 as one way to ensure that nurse scientists, highly trained in nursing research, are available in adequate numbers to address important gaps in our biological and behavioral understanding of clinical problems. In addition to the diverse scientific areas that may be the focus of the institutional training grant, this NOTICE seeks to encourage T32 applicants to consider two particular areas of inquiry for the May 10, 2002 receipt date: 1) genetics and 2) health disparities of underserved populations. These research areas continue to be identified by NINR and the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research (NACNR) as needing increased attention at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels. The NINR Strategic Plan on Reducing Health Disparities can be viewed at: http://www.ninr.nih.gov/research/diversity/mission.html. NINR is also interested in applications in any scientific area of inquiry that provide creative research training experiences for recent nursing graduates or students in BSN to PhD programs. A 2000 report by the National Research Council recommended: "The NINR should emphasize research training programs that foster earlier entry into research careers. . . . The NINR may wish to consider redirecting a portion of its NRSA funds to programs targeting students entering the nursing profession (such as B.A.-to-Ph.D. Programs) and recent nursing graduates." For the complete report, link to "Addressing the Nation"s Changing Needs for Biomedical and Behavioral Scientists" at http://www.nap.edu/books/0309069815/html/. This position is supported by a recent nursing research training workshop and by the National Advisory Council of Nursing Research. An executive summary of the workshop may be read at http://www.ninr.nih.gov/news-info/pubs/sswp_increasing.pdf. Please note that T32 applications for the National Institute of Nursing Research are accepted annually for the receipt date of May 10. Inquires are encouraged. The NINR website lists program directors who can assist prospective applicants in diverse areas of scientific opportunity: http://www.ninr.nih.gov/ResearchAndFunding/DEA/OEP/AreasofscienceFile.htm.
