About this opportunity

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences is soliciting applications for the Medical Scientist Training Program (T32) to fund integrated dual-degree training leading to both professional medical doctorate and research doctorate (Ph.D. or equivalent) degrees, with an application due date of January 25, 2027.

Eligible applicants are domestic institutions, including higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal governments (federally recognized), tribally controlled colleges and universities, historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander serving institutions. Non-domestic organizations and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are ineligible.

Award values under the parent Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) typically range from approximately $75,000 to $1.4 million in direct costs, with project periods spanning two to five years. No cost share requirement is stated.

NIGMS priorities include iterative optimization of MSTP training efficacy and efficiency and fostering persistence of MSTP alumni in research careers. Training programs must incorporate didactic instruction, research, mentoring, and career development elements that prepare trainees for careers with significant impact on the Nation's health-related research needs. The program aims to develop a broad pool of highly trained physician-scientist leaders equipped to accelerate translation of research advances into clinical understanding, detection, treatment, and prevention of human disease.

Applicants must follow both general application instructions and training-specific form instructions designated for Training applications.
