NIGMS supports T32 Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) predoctoral research training through programs in 11 different scientific disciplines, and M.D.-Ph.D. training through its medical scientist training program. These programs are designed to enhance graduate research training in basic biomedical sciences relevant to the NIGMS mission. The overall goal of these programs is to promote fundamental, interdisciplinary and innovative research training essential for future biomedical researchers. Consistent with its mission, NIGMS is taking steps to catalyze the modernization of graduate education to ensure that students receive adequate training early in graduate school to develop the skills required for the next generation of scientists. As part of this overarching effort and as recommended by a working group of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director, it is critical that graduate trainees be exposed to a variety of careers in ways that are not always available at their institutions. NIGMS will accept applications for a one-time administrative supplement to existing NIGMS predoctoral T32 training grants for the development and implementation of curricular activities aimed at broadening the training of graduate students to better prepare them for research careers in a variety of venues, such as industry, government, or entrepreneurial enterprises.
Eligibility & Requirements:
Applicants must have an NIGMS-funded predoctoral T32 training grant that will be active at least through June 30, 2018. For institutions with 2 or more NIGMS predoctoral training grants, it is expected that faculty on these grants will cooperate and collaborate to develop curricula that are broadly applicable to trainees at their institution. The request for supplementary funds must be submitted by the institution on behalf of the PD(s)/PI(s) of this training grant. For supplements to parent awards that include multiple PDs/PIs, the supplement may be requested by any or all of the PDs/PIs (in accordance with the existing leadership plan) and submitted by the awardee institution of the parent award.
