Participating Organization Information: PA-25-423

NHLBI Specific Information: 
The NHLBI supports training programs to prepare individuals to become productive researchers in the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the heart, lung, blood, and sleep. See the  NHLBI Mission Statement.

NHLBI encourages submissions from physician-scientists and from postdoctoral fellows early in their training to lay the groundwork for a future K award (K01, K08, K23 or K99) application.

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 priorities and for guidance on the proposed research and training plans.

NHGRI Specific Information:

NHGRI will consider only applications that propose research training directly relevant to the mission of NHGRI. NHGRI supports the development of resources, approaches, and technologies that accelerate and support studies focused on the structure and biology of genomes; the genomics of disease; the implementation and effectiveness of genomic medicine; and genomic data science and bioinformatics. NHGRI also supports ethical, legal, regulatory, policy, economic, cultural, and societal issues raised by the advancement and use of genomics. NHGRI does not support disease-specific research. 

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.

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 priorities.

NIBIB Specific Information: 

NIBIB interests include the development and integration of advanced bioengineering, sensing, imaging, and computational technologies for the improvement of human health and medical care. An application is not within the NIBIB mission if its principal focus is the development of a technology with the goal of understanding basic biological function or pathological mechanisms. Additionally, NIBIB only supports projects developing platform technologies that are applicable to a broad spectrum of disorders and diseases. However, applicants may propose research that utilizes only a single tissue, organ, or physiological condition as a model system to facilitate the development of what is expected to be a more broadly applicable enabling technology.

Support will be provided for a maximum of 2 years.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the NIBIB Scientific Contact on the left before they begin to prepare their application.

Additional information on NIBIB's training programs can be found at http://www.nibib.nih.gov/training-careers.

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 support research that examines how the environment affects biological systems across the lifespan and to translate this knowledge to reduce disease and promote human health.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the NIEHS Scientific Program Contact before preparing an application to discuss the relevance of the proposed research to the Institute’s mission. 

NIGMS Specific Information:
 
Specific information on NIGMS F32 awards including FAQs can be found at: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/IndivPostdoc/.
 
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) will provide up to 3 years of aggregate Kirschstein-NRSA support to eligible individuals who seek postdoctoral research training in areas related to the scientific research areas supported by the Institute. Applicants requesting or receiving only one year of support should recognize the responsibilities associated with NRSA payback obligations.

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the Institute’s Scientific Program Contact in the early stages of formulating an application to discuss the relevance of the proposed research to the Institute’s research priorities. 

NCCIH Specific Information:

NCCIH uses this program to support predoctoral individuals in supervised research training experiences. NCCIH will not accept applications to this program proposing to conduct new, free-standing clinical trials. Applicants to the fellowship programs interested in clinical trial research are encouraged to participate in the planning, design, and implementation of the mentor’s ongoing clinical trials in order to gain the training and experience necessary to become independent clinical investigators. Before the application receipt date, applicants and mentor(s) are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposed research interest with an NCCIH Program Officer in the specific scientific area and/or intervention that is closely related to the proposed project to confirm its relevance to NCCIH's mission, research priorities, and strategic plan. A list of NCCIH program officials can be found at Division of Extramural Research Program Directors.

Applications that will include the use of natural products or devices in an ongoing interventional research project should explicitly describe the status of the Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE). Applicants interested in natural products research are encouraged to review NCCIH's Natural Product Integrity Policy.
