National Institutes of Health

Description

Purpose: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants (T32) to eligible institutions as the primary means of supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral research training to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles related to the Nations biomedical, behavioral and clinical research agenda. The primary objective of the T32 program is to prepare qualified individuals for careers that have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation. This FOA issued by The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), solicits grant applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to develop clinician-scientists who will be leaders in the field of pediatric clinical pharmacology research. Individuals in these programs should receive training and experience in the methods and conduct of basic and clinical research, in order to qualify them to perform such studies independently. Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants (T32). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: The NICHD intends to commit approximately $350,000 in Total Costs [Direct plus Facilities and Administrative (F and A) costs] in FY 2011 to fund up to 2 new grants in response to this FOA. Although the financial plans of the NICHD provide support for this program, awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
