Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 24 332
The NIA Postdoctoral Fellowship Award to Promote Broad Participation in Translational Research for AD/ADRD (F32 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity (PAR-24-332) run through the National Institute on Aging (NIA). It is a discretionary, health-focused fellowship mechanism intended to support postdoctoral-level research training rather than a standard research project grant. The central aim is to broaden participation and strengthen diversity in the translational research workforce focused on Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), with the longer-term goal of building a pipeline of scientists prepared to contribute to or lead team-based, interdisciplinary efforts in AD/ADRD research.
At its core, this fellowship is designed for promising postdoctoral candidates from diverse backgrounds who want structured, mentored training that builds real translational research skills. The opportunity emphasizes translational work broadly defined, meaning it can span population and epidemiologic studies, behavioral and social research, and research intended to inform or accelerate the development of treatments, diagnostics, prevention approaches, early detection strategies, and disease management and care. The intent is not only to support an individual research plan, but to intentionally develop the fellow's capabilities to work across disciplines and to operate effectively in team-science environments common to translational AD/ADRD research.
A key restriction is reflected in the "Clinical Trial Not Allowed" designation. Applicants are not allowed to propose leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial as part of the fellowship. However, the NOFO does allow the fellow to propose gaining research experience within a clinical trial as long as that trial is led by the mentor or co-mentor. In practical terms, this means the fellowship can include meaningful exposure to clinical trial infrastructure, methods, recruitment, data collection, and analysis, but the applicant cannot be positioned as the person directing the trial as the responsible leader.
Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities other than higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The NOFO also explicitly highlights certain institution types as other eligible applicants, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), and eligible agencies of the federal government. On the other hand, non-U.S. (foreign) organizations are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. That said, foreign components, as NIH defines them in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are permitted, which generally means a U.S.-based applicant organization may include certain well-justified elements of the training or research taking place abroad when allowed under NIH policy.
From a logistics standpoint, the opportunity is listed under CFDA number 93.866. The posting indicates an original closing date of 2027-12-08, giving a multi-year window in which applications may be accepted according to the NOFO's submission schedule. The source data provided does not specify an award ceiling or expected number of awards, so applicants would typically look to the full NOFO text and NIH budget/fellowship guidance for details on allowable costs and the standard F32 structure. Overall, the program is best understood as a mentored postdoctoral training investment aimed at developing a more diverse cadre of translational AD/ADRD researchers who can contribute to the full arc of discovery-to-impact work, from understanding populations and risk to improving diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and care.Apply for PAR 24 332
