Part 2. Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
Program Considerations
NLM participates in NIH-wide programs to increase diversity in the research workforce. The goal of this FOA is to help outstanding postdoctoral researchers who are considered under-represented minority in science to transition into independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. NLM supports research career development in clinical/public health informatics, translational bioinformatics, data science and consumer informatics. We define informatics as the intersection of computer, information and behavioral sciences with one or more application domains. Application domains of interest include health care delivery, basic biomedical research, clinical and translational research, public health and others. Whatever the application domain, the research career focus must be informatics or data science.
