Applications that are incomplete at the time of submission or are late will be deferred or returned.
The NIDCD expects that training in the responsible conduct of research be taken within the format of a semester-long course or seminar series, allowing for face-to-face discussion of material presented and assigned.  Applicants who have not completed such training within the last three years should describe their plan to take another course or seminar series in the responsible conduct of research to update their knowledge in this dynamically changing domain.

Institute/Center Specific Information
NIEHS Interests  Senior fellowship research training opportunities supported under this announcement are expected to focus on the environmental health sciences and be responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is to reduce the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental causes by understanding how environmental factors, individual susceptibility and age interrelate in the disease process.  Proposals should demonstrate a direct human health endpoint and address how an environmental exposure is, or might be, involved in that disease process.  Applications should focus on a specific human disease, dysfunction, pathophysiologic condition, or relevant human biologic process and propose to study a specific environmentally relevant toxicant. Examples of environmentally relevant toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal, and bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Agents considered non-responsive to this announcement include, but are not limited to: alcohol, chemotherapeutic agents, radiation which is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, and infectious or parasitic agents, except when these are disease co-factors to an environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.

Specific information on NIGMS F33 awards including FAQs can be found at: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/IndivSenior/

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.

Institute/Center Specific Information
Specific information on NINR F33 awards can be found at: http://www.ninr.nih.gov/

To provide senior fellowship research training to nurse scientists to broaden their scientific backgrounds and extend their potential for continuing to contribute to nursing research. NINR supports and conducts clinical and basic research and research training on acute and chronic illness across the life span, focusing on health promotion, disease prevention, health disparities, care-giving, management of symptoms, self-management, and care at the end of life. NINR seeks to extend nursing science by integrating the biological and behavioral sciences, applying new technologies to nursing research questions, improving the quality and effectiveness of interventions, and developing nursing research investigators. In so doing, the Institute is helping to address the critical shortage of nursing faculty, which both contributes to, and is affected by, the increasing gap between the supply and demand for nurses in the workforce. The sponsor must have active funding in the same research area as the applicant during the proposed award period.
