Institutional Training GrantsON THIS PAGE:
SEE ALSO: NCRR supports translational research through several comparative medicine programs that relate to the use of animal models in biomedical research. As part of this effort, veterinary schools and other institutions are encouraged to apply for grants that support Postdoctoral Programs (T32), Predoctoral Programs (T32), and Summer Programs for Veterinary Students (T35), which are described below. Potential applicants should consult the relevant Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) originally published in the NIH Guide, the relevant NCRR Division's Program Guidelines, and the NIH instructions for preparation of a paper PHS398 application (or electronic SF424 application in the near future). Applications should be relevant to that Division's Program Areas. Examples of already funded training grants to institutions are listed in each Division's Resource Directory. For guidance in preparing an application, please consult the Health Scientist Administrator identified within the FOA and listed under Program Contacts. Postdoctoral Programs for Veterinarians (T32)These grant programs train highly qualified veterinarians for research careers in biomedical areas related to comparative medicine. This training may be incorporated into the requirements for a research degree program. The research accomplished under this training program should provide the trainee with the necessary tools to successfully compete for independent grant funding (often a K01 or K99). Stipends are provided according to the NRSA schedule. READ MORE >> Predoctoral Programs for Veterinarians (T32)These grants support veterinary students for one year's immersion in hypothesis-based laboratory animal medicine, comparative medicine, or pathology. All training activities must be on a full-time basis during the year away from clinical instruction for the D.V.M. degree. This training may be incorporated into the requirements for a M.S. or Ph.D. degree program. Stipends are provided according to the NRSA schedule. Potential Principal Investigators should consult with the appropriate member of NCRR's Division of Comparative Medicine staff before applying for this grant. READ MORE >> Summer Programs for Veterinary Students (T35)These grants provide research training experiences for selected veterinary students for periods of 2-3 months. The objective is to attract highly qualified veterinary students to biomedical and biobehavioral research careers. They are intended to introduce students to research in cases where they might not otherwise have an opportunity to gain such experience. Trainee stipends are provided according to the National Research Service Awards (NRSA) schedule. Grants may be requested for up to 5 years and are renewable.
