NCI Specific Information: NCI requires a clear cancer focus in the research training and gives funding priority to applications for which the primary sponsor has cancer related R01 (or equivalent) research funding. For the F33, R01-equivalent research funding includes peer-reviewed research grants with a minimum of 3 years in duration and $150,000 in annual direct costs. Grants under a no-cost extension do not qualify. Additional NCI-specific information/requirements can be found at Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA for Senior Fellows (F33). |

NIDCR Specific Information: NIDCR welcomes senior fellowship applications from experienced scientists (at least seven years beyond the qualifying doctoral degree), enabling them to update their skills or make changes in the direction of their careers. Support may be requested for up to two years. Applicants must conduct research relevant to the NIDCR Strategic Plan and demonstrate a commitment to a career in dental, oral, and craniofacial health research. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the NIDCR Scientific Program Contact before preparing an application to discuss the relevance of the F33 proposal to the Institute’s research priorities. |
| National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences Scientific Program Contact: Michael C. Humble, Ph.D. Phone: (984) 287-3272 Email: humble@niehs.nih.gov Grants Management Contact: Clark Phillips Phone: (984) 287-3364 Email: clark.phillips@nih.gov |
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. |
| National Institute of General
Medical Sciences Scientific Program Contact: Michael A. Sesma, Ph.D. Email: msesma@nigms.nih.gov Grants Management Contact: Grace Olascoaga Phone: (301) 594-5135 Email: olascoag@nigms.nih.gov |
NIGMS Specific Information: Specific information on NIGMS F33 awards including FAQs can be found at: NRSA Individual Senior Fellowships (F33). NIGMS Senior fellowships do not support typical sabbatical research which is closely related to the investigator’s area of expertise. Rather, NIGMS support for F33 fellows is intended to allow investigators to make major changes in the direction of their research careers by providing them with opportunities to spend a short period of time (typically 12 months) training with an appropriate sponsor. The sponsor’s field and area of expertise must be significantly different from that of the applicant and should be optimal for the proposed training. Applicants must demonstrate that the proposed training will redirect, revitalize, or restart their research careers once they return to their home institution. Applicants must have a permanent position to which they expect to return following completion of the F33 fellowship. |
| National Institute of Nursing
Research Scientific Program Contact: David Banks, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.S.S.W., RN Phone: (301) 496-9558 Email: banksd@mail.nih.gov Grants Management Contact: Randi Freundlich Phone: (301) 594-5974 Email: Freundlichr@mail.nih.gov |
NINR Specific Information: NINR uses the F33 fellowship to provide support for individuals, who have a Bachelor’s degree or higher in nursing, to provide senior fellowship research training to nurse scientists who would like to extend their potential for continuing to contribute to nursing research in scientific areas related to NINR’s mission. Applications must have a clear focus in science areas related to the NINR mission statement and strategic plan. Only nurse applicants who have a research doctoral degree are accepted for this postdoctoral research training program. Nurses with research doctoral degrees interested in applying for this opportunity are strongly encouraged to contact the NINR Program Director for Extramural Training. The applicant may contact the NINR Program Director by email sending a copy of their NIH Biosketch with any questions and a synopsis of interests and research/training aims. |
