Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education. Key requirements include recruiting qualified candidates with targeted recruitment for individuals with disabilities, providing multidisciplinary didactic instruction emphasizing scientific methodology, delivering research experience with qualified researchers and practicum activities, offering academic and career mentorship, and supporting professional development and conference attendance. Trainees must commit at least 80 percent of their time to training activities for a minimum of one academic year. Applications will be evaluated on five criteria: importance of the problem (15 points), design of training activities (50 points), plan of operation (10 points), project staff quality (15 points), and adequacy and accessibility of resources (10 points).
