Description

-The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) announces its support of the NIMH Career Opportunities in Research (NIMH COR) Honors Undergraduate Research Training Grant (T34) program. The goal of the program is to provide support for pre-baccalaureate research training to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles related to the Nations biomedical, neuroscience, behavioral and clinical research agenda for mental health.The specific objectives are to: (a) increase the number of well-prepared undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds who complete a research training program leading to a research doctorate (Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent) in biomedical, neuroscience, behavioral, or clinical sciences relevant to mental health research; and (b) develop and strengthen the undergraduate research training curricula with relevance to mental health.-This program utilizes the T34 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) funding mechanism.-Because the nature and scope of the proposed research training will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
