Funding Opportunity: New T32 Medical Scientist Training Program
We’re pleased to announce our Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) (T32) funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has been reissued (PAR-21-189). This FOA continues our efforts toward changes in integrated medical and graduate research training to keep pace with the rapidly evolving research environment that’s increasingly complex, interdisciplinary, quantitative, and collaborative. This program provides support to eligible domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to integrated dual-degree training leading to the award of both clinical degrees (e.g., M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., and Pharm.D.), and research doctorate degrees (Ph.D.).
In addition, the new FOA:
Emphasizes creative and transformational approaches to clinician scientist training, including curricular reform, that preserve the best elements of current programs while enhancing the focus on developing trainee skills
Promotes a culture where the highest standards of practice ensure the safety of all individuals in the research environment
