Support may be requested for up to two years. Applicants must 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 (NIEHS) Scientific Program Contact: Email: [email protected] Grants Management Contact: Email: [email protected] | 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. |
| National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Scientific Program Contact: Email: [email protected] Grants Management Contact: Email:[email protected] | 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. |
