National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program (T34)

Funding Opportunity PAR-22-125 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training Program is to provide structured activities to prepare a diverse cohort of research-oriented students to transfer from associate degree-granting to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions and complete a baccalaureate degree in biomedical research fields. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to biomedical training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the research enterprise. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements. This program requires strong partnerships between at least two post-secondary educational institutions offering science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degrees. At least one partner must be an institution that offers the associate degree as the highest STEM degree and the other partner(s) must offer baccalaureate degrees in biomedically relevant STEM fields. Upon completion of the Bridges to the Baccalaureate Research Training program, trainees are expected to be well positioned to pursue a research-oriented biomedical higher degree program or enter careers in the biomedical research workforce.This FOA does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinic...
