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 expose 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 Predoctoral Fellows (F31) - Resubmissions Only
The NIBIB uses the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) to provide up to two years of support for research training leading to the Ph.D. or equivalent research degree. Individuals in combined M.D./Ph.D. or other formally combined professional degree and research doctoral degree programs will be supported only during the research component of their program. NIBIB no longer accepts new applications to this program. However, it will accept up to 2 resubmissions of a previously reviewed application.
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellowships (F31) to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research
The NIBIB uses the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research to provide up to two years of support for research training leading to the Ph.D. or equivalent research degree. Individuals in combined M.D./Ph.D. or other formally combined professional degree and research doctoral degree programs will be supported only during the research component of their program. The overall goal of this program is to increase the number of scientists from diverse population groups who are prepared to pursue careers in interdisciplinary research at the interface between the biomedical and the mathematical, physical, or engineering sciences. Eligible candidates include individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.p>
The Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) links the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with universities in the graduate level training of students. Through university partnerships the NIH strengthens and expands its role as a provider of excellent training for the biomedical scientists of the future. The mission of the GPP is to establish and foster graduate education partnerships with national and international universities and institutions dedicated to quality education in biomedical basic and clinical research while providing the infrastructure and community support needed by the students in these programs.
The Summer Internship Program (SIP) at the NIH provides an opportunity to spend the summer working side-by-side with some of the leading scientists in the world in an environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research.
