Postdoctoral Training Opportunities & ResourcesContentsExtramural
Intramural (NIH Campus) T32 Training Programs Shift to Steady-State Level (June 2009)The NIBIB has implemented a large expansion of its institutional (T32/T35) training portfolio over the last three years, including the addition of new training awards in many of our program areas and the transition to the NIBIB-funded phase of the NIBIB-HHMI Interfaces program. This portfolio growth phase is now complete, and going forward we will maintain the T32 program in a steady state consistent with our strategic plan. Consequently, applications for new T32/T35 programs will only be funded if, and as, they successfully compete with renewal (competing continuation) applications of currently supported T32/T35 programs. Given this policy, applicants considering a new application or a renewal application for a T32/T35 grant are strongly encouraged to consider alternative mechanisms to support research training. In particular, the NIBIB will place increasing emphasis on the F32 mechanism, as well as support of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows on research grants. If you have questions about this or other aspects of training, please contact Richard Baird, Director of the NIBIB Interdisciplinary Training Division. Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards - Institutional Research Training Grants (T32)NIBIB supports predoctoral, postdoctoral, or combined predoctoral/postdoctoral research training in its scientific mission areas (http://www.nibib.nih.gov/Research/ProgramAreas). Postdoctoral training programs may support either PhD or MD degree holders, the former programs typically focusing on basic research and the latter programs focusing on clinical and translational research. NIBIB will accept applications proposing focused or broad-based training programs in bioimaging and bioengineering, including multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary training programs integrating the physical, engineering, and biological sciences. NIBIB requires a minimum of 2-year training experience for predoctoral and postdoctoral PhD trainees but allows a 1-year training experience for medical residents and clinical fellows.
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (F32)The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (F32) provide up to five years of support for promising postdoctoral applicants who have the potential to become productive and successful independent research investigators in interdisciplinary research at the interface between the biomedical and the mathematical, physical, or engineering sciences.
NIH Pathway to Independence (PI) Award (K99/R00)The Pathway to Independence (PI) program, targeted to applicants with no more than five years of postdoctoral research experience who have made a commitment to an academic career but who do not currently have an independent faculty position, provides two phases of support. The first phase provides one to two years of mentored support for highly promising, postdoctoral researchers in biomedical imaging and bioengineering. The second phase, contingent upon internal administrative review and the procurement of an independent research position, will provide up to three years of independent research support.
NIH/NIST Joint Postdoctoral ProgramNIH/NIST Joint Postdoctoral Program is a partnership between NIST and the NIH (NIBIB) to support postdoctoral fellowships. The goal is to cultivate a scientific work force competent in both the biological and the physical sciences. Each Postdoctoral Associate will have two Advisers, one at the NIH and one at NIST, and the Associate is expected to spend time at both the NIH and the NIST laboratories during the course of the two-year award. Postdoctoral Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA)The Postdoctoral IRTA program provides the opportunity for recent doctoral degree recipients to enhance their research skills in the resource-rich National Institutes of Health (NIH) environment, which consists of more than 1200 laboratories located on the NIH campus. Trainees pursue both basic and clinical research free from the demands of obtaining grants and teaching, although opportunities to do both are available. Related Resources
