Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 20 213
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Institutional Predoctoral Research Training Grant (T32) under the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program is a federal grant opportunity designed to strengthen the biomedical research workforce by supporting high-quality, institution-run doctoral training programs. The central aim is to build a diverse pipeline of well-prepared PhD-level scientists who can contribute meaningfully to the United States biomedical research agenda as the field continues to evolve rapidly. In practical terms, the program funds institutions to create or enhance structured predoctoral research training environments that use evidence-informed methods for graduate education and mentoring, rather than relying only on informal or ad hoc training practices.
This opportunity specifically supports training programs that combine multiple components of professional development. NIGMS expects funded programs to include well-integrated didactic training (coursework and formal instruction), strong mentored research experiences, and career development activities that prepare trainees for a range of biomedical research careers. The emphasis is on training that is responsive to real-world workforce needs and that equips trainees with skills to make a significant impact on health-related research priorities in the nation. Because the announcement is labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," the supported activities should not include clinical trial research as part of the proposed training grant scope.
Eligibility is limited to domestic (U.S.-based) applicant organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, as long as they are not institutions of higher education where specified), and certain tribal governments and tribal organizations. The announcement also highlights a broad set of eligible institution types and community-centered organizations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and faith-based or community-based organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible.
The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with NIGMS as the participating institute, and the opportunity falls under the health funding category (CFDA number 93.859). The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant using the T32 institutional training format. The specific funding opportunity number is PAR 20-213, and the opportunity record indicates an original closing date of September 26, 2023, with a creation date of June 1, 2020. Award ceiling and expected number of awards are not specified in the provided source information, which typically means applicants should consult the full FOA and NIH training grant policies for budget structure, allowable costs, trainee support levels, and standard NRSA-related requirements.Apply for PAR 20 213
