Description
Purpose. The NHLBIs Minority Institutional Research Training Program is a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Program intended to support training of predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training at minority serving institutions having the potential to develop meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders. Predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training in minority serving institutions need further opportunities to develop biomedical and behavioral research skills. The NHLBI Minority Institutional Research Training Program is designed to attract students in their developmental stages; to increase their awareness of cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research; and to encourage them to pursue research career opportunities in these areas. Trainee appointments will be determined by the institution and carried out in a manner that will include the recruitment of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Accordingly the NIH continues to encourage institutions to diversify their student and faculty populations and thus to increase the participation of individuals currently underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences such as: individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds that have inhibited their ability to pursue a career in health-related research. Institutions are encouraged to identify candidates who will increase diversity on a national or institutional basis.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ruth Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) grant mechanism (T32) and is a reissue of RFA-HL-08-017, which was previously released on June 12, 2008.
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The estimated annual funds (total costs) available for the program are expected to be approximately $250,000. The actual amount may vary, depending on the response to the FOA and availability of funds. Two new awards per year are anticipated.
