National Cancer
Institute (NCI) Kerry Gastley |
NCI-Specific Information: NCI T32 training programs must be cancer focused. No less than 75% of the trainees per award year must be postdoctoral fellows. The Principal Investigator (PI) must hold an R01, or R01-like,
peer-reviewed cancer-focused research grant at the time of application. The PI is expected
to maintain such grant support during the project period. Mentors are expected to have
independent R01, or R01-like, research funding. New and Early Stage Investigators (/grants/new_investigators/investigator_policies_faqs.htm)
with no such funding may serve as co-mentors. For the NCI T32, R01-like research
funding includes peer-reviewed research grants from other federal sources and private
foundations. The award duration is expected to be for at least 3 years with a minimum of
$150,000 direct costs per year. Grants under a no-cost extension do not
qualify.

NHGRI Specific Information: NHGRI has aligned its institutional training program with its latest strategic plan: "Charting a course for genomic medicine from base pairs to bedside," (http://www.genome.gov/Pages/About/Planning/2011NHGRIStrategicPlan.pdf). The realignment resulted in the: 1) revamping the Institutional Training Grants in Genomic Sciences to support pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training with a focus on the quantitative sciences, bioinformatics, and technology development: For details, consult Notice NOT-HG-14-016 located at:/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-HG-14-016.html; 2) initiating the Institutional Training Grants in Genomic Medicine to support post-doctoral training only: For details, consult Notice NOT-HG-14-017 located at: /grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-HG-14-017.html ; and 3) establishing Institutional Training Grants in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) of Genetic and Genomic Research for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training with a focus on developing multi-disciplinary conceptual and methodological skills necessary to pursue independent careers as ELSI researchers - consult Notice NOT-HG-15-004 located at: /grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-HG-15-004.html.

National
Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Grants Management Contact: |
NINR Specific Information: The NINR funds this program to enable institutions with schools of nursing to make awards to individuals with a Bachelor’s degree or higher in nursing for predoctoral and postdoctoral research training. Innovative scientific programs that are interdisciplinary are especially encouraged. Applications from institutions which implement strategies for identifying and recruiting students who have already completed a Bachelor's Degree in a field other than nursing; students who are from an under-represented group; or students who are currently BSN-Ph.D. students are particularly encouraged. Applicants are encouraged to review NINR's Mission and Strategic Plan(NINR Mission and Strategic Plan) for additional information on the Institute's research and training goals. Once students are selected for the T32 program, the generation of an annual individual development plan (IDP) is strongly encouraged. The IDP should include specific, measurable, action-based goals with realistic timelines, strategies to acquire skills and knowledge to realize goals. It is strongly suggested that the annual report addresses how the student has met the research or IDP goals and evidence of PI/mentor and student productivity. If the research goals are unmet, the mentor is strongly encouraged to generate a plan for how the student will meet specific research goals. During the course of the training period students are strongly encouraged to have the experience of writing a grant application for extramural funding (may be an F31 or from other non-federal sources). NINR will consider support for up to two T32s per institution.
