Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Parent F31 - Diversity)
F31

Enhances the diversity of the health-related research workforce by supporting the research training of predoctoral students from population groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research workforce. The proposed mentored research training is expected to enhance the individual's potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientist.

T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity
T32

The NHLBI's T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity 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 institutions with an institutional mission focused on serving health disparity populations not well represented in scientific research, or institutions that have been identified by federal legislation as having an institutional mission focused on these populations, with the potential to develop meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic diseases, and sleep disorders.

Postdoctoral

- Training and Career Development
Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (PRIDE)

All-expense-paid Summer Institute, research education and mentoring initiative sponsored by the NHLBI to address the difficulties experienced by junior investigators and transitioning postdoctoral scientists in establishing independent academic research careers and negotiating through the academic ranks.

Research Supplements to Promote Re-Entry into Biomedical and Behavioral Research Careers (Admin Supp)
SUPP
  • Admin Supp – Clinical Trial Not Allowed (PA-18-592)

Provides administrative supplements to currently active NIH research grants to support individuals with high potential to re-enter an active research career after a qualifying interruption for family or other responsibilities.
