Predoctoral Training Opportunities and ResourcesContentsExtramural
Intramural (NIH Campus) T32 Training Programs Shift to Steady-State Level and Switch to Single Receipt DateThe 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. Additionally, effective May 25, 2010, the NIBIB will accept Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training (T32) and Short-term Institutional Research Training (T35) applications (new, renewal, resubmission, and revision) for only one receipt date per year – May 25 for January Council. Read the full notice at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-EB-09-002.html. If you have questions about these 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.
HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Initiative for Interdisciplinary Graduate Research TrainingHHMI and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering have formed a partnership to support biomedical research institutions in developing graduate-level research training programs in emerging interdisciplinary fields. Training programs supported through this initiative are indicated in the list of NIBIB Funded Training Programs. Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards Short-Term Institutional Training Grants (T35)NIBIB uses the T35 mechanism to provide intensive clinical or translational research experiences for predoctoral bioengineering students or short-term training in focused, emerging scientific areas relevant to NIBIB’s scientific mission. NIBIB discourages current T32 awardees from submitting T35 applications; if applicants choose to apply, they must clearly indicate how the proposed T35 activities differ from the activities supported by their T32 award.
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) - Resubmissions OnlyThe 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 ResearchThe 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.
Graduate Partnerships ProgramThe 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. Summer Internship Program (SIP)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.
