Research Training & Career Development

NIGMS supports biomedical and behavioral research training programs that help provide the most critical element of good research: well-prepared scientists. Programs cover basic biomedical research areas, some clinically related areas, and training at the interfaces of different fields.
 
NIH and NIGMS encourage institutions to diversify their student populations and thus to increase the participation of individuals currently underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. All NIGMS institutional training grant programs require a plan for the recruitment and retention of a diverse population of trainees.
