New Graduate Training Programs Announced
In May, we shared with you our plans to reorganize the undergraduate and graduate programs in the Division of Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity. Toward that end, we are pleased to announce two new graduate funding opportunities aimed at developing and implementing effective, evidence-based approaches to biomedical training and mentoring. The goal of these funding announcements is to enhance diversity in the biomedical research workforce and to encourage applications from training programs that:
Focus on skills development (including an emphasis on quantitative and computational skills)
Promote rigor and reproducibility in research and teach the responsible and safe conduct of research
Create inclusive, safe, and supportive research training environments
Use evidence-based, innovative educational and mentoring practices
Employ cohort-building activities and interventions that enhance the trainees’ science identity and self-efficacy
Provide individualized mentoring and oversight throughout the trainees’ graduate careers
Introduce trainees to a variety of scientific research areas and career paths
The new programs are:
Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) (T32)
PAR-19-037
Supports Ph.D. training programs at research-intensive institutions (i.e., those with a 3-year average of NIH research project grant funding equal to or above $7.5 million total costs; this information is available through NIH RePORTER)
First application deadline: Febr...
