Administrative Supplements for NIGMS Predoctoral T32 Grants to Develop Curricular and Training Activities

To continue our efforts to catalyze the modernization of biomedical graduate education, we invite eligible NIGMS-funded T32 predoctoral training programs to submit administrative supplement requests to develop new curricular and training activities to enhance the program’s ability to: 1) provide graduate trainees with a strong foundation in research design and methods in areas related to conducting rigorous and transparent research to enhance reproducibility (PA-18-756); 2) prepare students for diverse careers in the biomedical research workforce (PA-18-757); 3) develop the knowledge and skills of trainees to enhance laboratory safety (PA-18-758); and 4) develop the technical, operational, and professional skills of predoctoral biomedical researchers (PA-18-759). Grantees should consider the following before applying: Only one application will be accepted per institution per area of curricular/training activity development. We expect that in institutions with two or more NIGMS predoctoral training grants the programs will cooperate to develop a single application proposing activities that are broadly applicable to their trainees. If an institution has received a previous administrative supplement in one of the four areas described above, the institution is not eligible for an additional award in that same area. There’s a budget cap of $80,000 in direct costs per award, and the funds from the supplement must be expended by June 30, 2019. Supplement funds cannot be used t...
