OVERVIEW
NIGMS uses several mechanisms to award grants to institutions and individuals to support research training for a variety of career levels and in a range of scientific areas. An institutional training grant (T32) application is submitted by an established investigator on behalf of a department or program, and the institution selects the candidates for training. Students can learn more about these training grant programs by clicking on the links to the predoctoral or postdoctoral research training areas listed below.
In contrast, candidates apply directly for individual fellowship awards (F31, F32). This site also lists specific research training areas for individual fellowships and links to the names of NIGMS staff who can provide more information about these training areas.
