Postdoctoral Training Opportunities & ResourcesContentsExtramural
Intramural (NIH Campus) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards - Institutional Research Training Grants (T32)Institutional Training Grants (T32) are awarded to institutions with strong research programs to support a designated number of predoctoral and/or postdoctoral trainees interested in pursuing research careers in biomedical imaging and bioengineering. The NIBIB is committed to increasing diversity in biomedical research, and T32 programs are expected to be successful in the recruitment of a diverse population of trainees, including women, minorities and individuals with disabilities. In addition, the NIBIB strongly values T32 programs that encourage and provide training in the skills necessary for trainees to apply for subsequent support through individual fellowships ("F"), mentored career development award (“K” ) programs, or independent research project grants.
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards Short-Term Institutional Training Grants (T35)Short-Term Institutional Training Grants (T35) provide short-term support for training experiences under the supervision of experienced researchers and exposes students to individuals with active research careers as well as providing them with knowledge about further research training and biomedical research career opportunities. The NIBIB is interested in supporting short-term training programs in the following areas: intensive research experiences for medical students and clinical residents to encourage interest in biomedical imaging and bioengineering research careers; substantial clinical experiences for biomedical engineering graduate students to help shape their understanding and appreciation of challenges in medicine; substantial industrial experiences for biomedical engineering graduate students; and biomedical research experiences for graduate students in the quantitative and technical sciences (e.g., physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and engineering).
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (F32)The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (F32) provide up to five years of support for promising postdoctoral applicants who have the potential to become productive and successful independent research investigators in interdisciplinary research at the interface between the biomedical and the mathematical, physical, or engineering sciences.
NIH/NIST Joint Postdoctoral ProgramNIH/NIST Joint Postdoctoral Program is a partnership between NIST and the NIH (NIBIB) to support postdoctoral fellowships. The goal is to cultivate a scientific work force competent in both the biological and the physical sciences. Each Postdoctoral Associate will have two Advisers, one at the NIH and one at NIST, and the Associate is expected to spend time at both the NIH and the NIST laboratories during the course of the two-year award. Postdoctoral Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA)The Postdoctoral IRTA program provides the opportunity for recent doctoral degree recipients to enhance their research skills in the resource-rich National Institutes of Health (NIH) environment, which consists of more than 1200 laboratories located on the NIH campus. Trainees pursue both basic and clinical research free from the demands of obtaining grants and teaching, although opportunities to do both are available. Related Resources |
