National Institutes of Health

Description

The NIA, NIAAA, NIDCD, NIDA, NIEHS, NIMH, NINDS, and the ODS are interested in supporting individual predoctoral fellowships for combined MD/PhD training in research areas relevant to the mission of the participating Institutes. - The amount of the award will be determined by the Ruth L. Kirschstein-National Research Service Award (Kirschstein-NRSA) predoctoral award guidelines. The number of awards will depend upon the quality of the applications received, available funds, and each Institute's programmatic priorities. - This PA uses the Individual Kirschstein-NRSA F30 award mechanism. - Eligible organizations include domestic institutions/organizations; for-profit or non-profit organizations; public or private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospital, and laboratories; and eligible agencies of the Federal government including NIH intramural laboratories. - Candidates for the Kirschstein-NRSA F30 award must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States, or must have been lawfully admitted to the United States for Permanent Residence. Non-citizen nationals are generally persons born in outlying possessions of the United States, i.e. American Samoa and Swains Island. Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Individuals may apply for the F30 in advance of admission to the United States as a Permanent Resident recognizing that no award will be made until legal verification of Permanent Resident status is provided. - An individual may not have two or more competing NIH fellowship applications pending review concurrently. In addition, the NIH will not accept for review any application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed. This does not preclude the submission of a substantial revision of an application already reviewed, but such application must include an Introduction addressing the previous critique. - The Kirschstein-NRSA individual fellowship application (PHS 416-1, rev. 06/2002) is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088.
