About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health seeks applicants for the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant (Parent T35) with an application due date of May 7, 2028. This grant develops and enhances research training opportunities for predoctoral students and graduate students pursuing careers in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research, with particular emphasis on intensive summer research experiences for health professional students (medical, veterinary, and other health-professional programs) and graduate students in physical or quantitative sciences.

Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, state and county governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), tribal organizations, independent school districts, special district governments, city and township governments, and public or Indian housing authorities. The program also includes underrepresented institutions: Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Non-domestic entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are ineligible.

The training must provide predoctoral students with thorough exposure to principles underlying biomedical research conduct. Many NIH Institutes and Centers use this parent announcement exclusively to support short-term training experiences. Training should be of sufficient depth to enable trainees upon completion to understand research fundamentals and potential career pathways.

Applications undergo technical review by peer panels composed of scientific authorities and compete on merit basis for available funding. Evaluation addresses scientific merit, training environment adequacy, investigator competency, institutional support, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives.

The program operates under multiple CFDA numbers, including 93.113 (Environmental Health), 93.173 (Deafness and Communication Disorders), 93.213 (Complementary and Integrative Health), 93.233 (Sleep Disorders), 93.273 (Alcohol Research), 93.286 (Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering), 93.351 (Research Infrastructure), 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases), 93.866 (Aging Research), and 93.867 (Vision Research). Each NIH Institute or Center administers awards aligned with its mission.

Synopsis

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (T35) to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and/or enhance research training opportunities for predoctoral students interested in careers within biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research workforce.

This program is also intended to encourage training of graduate students in the physical or quantitative sciences to pursue interests in research careers by short-term exposure to, and involvement in, the health-related sciences. The training should be of sufficient depth to enable the trainees, upon completion of the program, to have a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of biomedical research.
