NHGRI
Specific Information:
NHGRI will
consider only applications that propose research training directly relevant to the mission of
NHGRI. NHGRI supports resources, approaches, and technologies that accelerate genomic research
focused on the structure and biology of genomes; the genomics of disease; the implementation and
effectiveness of genomic medicine; computational genomics and data science; the impact of
genomic technology, advances, and implementation on health disparities and health equity; and
ethical, legal, and social issues related to genomic advances. NHGRI recognizes the importance
of diversity in the genomic workforce, without which the promise of genomics cannot be fully
achieved.
In
general, NHGRI supports studies that provide generalizable methods and knowledge. Approaches
that are comprehensive across the genome or are generalizable across variants, tissues,
diseases, or function may be in scope for NHGRI to the extent they address priority areas
described in the NHGRI
2020 Strategic Vision and
on
the web pages for the research mission of NHGRI’s Extramural Divisions and Offices. NHGRI
does
not support disease-specific research.
Prospective
applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Scientific Program Contact before preparing an
application to discuss the relevance of the proposed research to the Institute's research

NIEHS
Specific Information:
Training
opportunities supported under this announcement by the NIEHS are expected to focus on the
environmental health sciences and be responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is to reduce
the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental causes by understanding how
environmental factors, individual susceptibility and age interrelate in the disease
process.
Fellowship
applications should examine/address how an environmentally relevant toxicant or exposure is, or
might be, involved in a human health endpoint such as a specific human disease, dysfunction,
pathophysiologic condition, or relevant disease process. Examples of environmentally relevant
toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides,
herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, and
fungal/bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Agents considered non-responsive to this
announcement include, but are not limited to: alcohol, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals,
chemotherapeutic agents, radiation which is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure,
and infectious or parasitic agents, except when agents are disease co-factors to an
environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.
Fellowship
applications may include research in the Environmental Public Health field in which communities
which are exposed to environmental exposures or have concerns about environmentally related
diseases are actively engaged in all stages of research, dissemination and evaluation. Examples
of proposals in the Environmental Public Health field include investigating the health effects /
impacts of environmental exposures that disproportionately burden low income or minority
communities, investigating emerging environmental threats to communities, investigating
exposure-related diseases that are of great concern to a community, and research and evaluation
methodology to improve the theories and implementation strategies for working with communities
to address their environmental health concerns. Fellows would learn how to conduct research
using community based participatory methods, create outreach and education programs and
translate research finding to a vast array of stakeholders.

NINDS
Specific Information:
Funding may be requested using this funding opportunity for support of research and training leading
to a doctoral research degree. NINDS will provide fellowship support to Ph.D. students who are
within the first 6 years of graduate school. Support beyond the 6th year may be made in rare and
unusual circumstances and will require a written waiver from the Associate Director of the
Office of Programs to Enhance the Neuroscience Workforce (OPEN). Any waiver will require a detailed
written justification and should be requested at least six months prior to the termination date of
the fellowship award.
NINDS encourages dual-degree students in non-MSTP institutions who
will request support for medical school training to apply for support using the F30 funding
opportunity, as NINDS reviews dual degree (F30) fellowship applications in a special study section
(NST-2).
