This NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Predoctoral Fellowship (F30) supports promising students in combined MD/PhD or other dual-doctoral programs (e.g., DO/PhD, DVM/PhD) at institutions lacking NIH-funded institutional dual-degree training. Its purpose is to enhance integrated research and clinical training, preparing individuals for independent physician/clinician-scientist careers. Applicants must propose a comprehensive research and clinical plan in health-related scientific fields. While the fellowship allows research experience in sponsor-led clinical trials, it explicitly excludes candidates leading independent clinical trials or feasibility studies, focusing on fundamental scientific development.

| Description: | This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support students at institutions without NIH-funded institutional predoctoral dual-degree training programs. The purpose of the Kirschstein-NRSA, dual-doctoral degree, predoctoral fellowship (F30) is to enhance the integrated research and clinical training of promising predoctoral students, who are matriculated in a combined MD/PhD or other dual-doctoral degree training program (e.g. DO/PhD, DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD), and who intend careers as physician/clinician-scientists. Candidates must propose an integrated research and clinical training plan and a dissertation research project in scientific health-related fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers. The fellowship experience is expected to clearly enhance the individual’s potential to develop into a productive, independent physician/clinician-scientist. This NOFO is designed specifically for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial, but does allow candidates to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor. |
