This grant, the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32), is for eligible domestic institutions. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers this award to develop and enhance predoctoral and postdoctoral research training programs. The primary goal is to ensure a highly skilled workforce is available to meet the Nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research demands. Training programs should incorporate engaging didactic, research, and career development elements, preparing trainees for impactful careers in health-related research. This grant supports comprehensive training, though not exclusively short-term predoctoral training (which has a separate mechanism, T35). Trainees can gain experience in mentor-led clinical trials but cannot lead independent ones.
