Minority Institutional Research Training Program (T32)
(Graduate Students)
This program
provides training to graduate (predoctoral) students enrolled
at minority serving institutions having the potential to develop
meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary,
hematologic, and sleep disorders research. These individuals
should be in the developmental stages of their career.
The minority serving institution collaborates with a research
center (medical school or comparable institution) that has
strong, well-established cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic,
or sleep disorders research and research training programs.
The institution opens its facilities to the student and provides
a mentor to work with the student's adviser at the minority
serving institution.
At the time of appointment, students must have received a
baccalaureate degree and must be training on a full-time basis
at the graduate level in a relevant biomedical or behavioral
science. Students are expected to meet the degree requirements
at their home institution. Students must be U.S. citizens,
noncitizen nationals, or legal permanent residents of the
U.S.

Minority Institutional Research Training Program Requests
for Application (RFA-HL-10-014)
The NHLBI Website also lists training programs under the
category Request
for Applications/Proposals & Program Announcements
through the application receipt date.
Who is eligible? Minority serving institutions. 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 heath-related
research. Institutions are encouraged to identify candidates
who will increase diversity on a national or institutional
basis.

12-month appointments
