PAR-24-128: Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) (T32)
Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0
T. Vanderah (Pharmacology) - Competitive Resubmission
The overall goal of the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists is available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. More information about NRSA programs may be found at the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award website. The NRSA program has been the primary means of supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral research training programs since enactment of the NRSA legislation in 1974.
Each NIGMS-funded MSTP award is expected to provide a rigorous, well-designed research training program that includes mentored research experiences, courses, seminars, and additional training opportunities that equip clinician scientists with the following skills required for careers in the biomedical research workforce:
- Technical (for example, appropriate methods, technologies, and quantitative/computational approaches).
- Operational (for example, independent knowledge acquisition, rigorous experimental design, interpretation of data, and conducting research in the safest manner possible).
- Professional (for example, management, leadership, communication, and teamwork).
Eligibility
NIGMS will accept only one MSTP application per institution.
Each application must be submitted by an eligible organization with a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and a unique NIH eRA Institutional Profile File (IPF) number. For organizations with multiple campuses, eligibility can be considered for an individual campus (for example, main, satellite, etc.) as the applicant organization only if a UEI and a unique NIH eRA IPF number are established for the individual campus. For organizations that use one UEI or NIH IPF number for multiple campuses, eligibility as the applicant organization is determined for the campuses together.
