NIH NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARD INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH TRAINING GRANTS
Release Date: June 1, 2000
PA NUMBER: PA-00-103 (see replacement <a href="/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-02-109.html">PA-02-109</a>)
National Institutes of Health
This program announcement supercedes the notice that appeared in the NIH Guide,
Vol. 26, No. 16, May 16,1997.
Application Receipt Dates: January 10, May 10, September 10 annually
PURPOSE
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award National Research Service
Award (NRSA) Institutional Training Grants (T32) to eligible institutions to
develop or enhance research training opportunities for individuals, selected by
the institution, who are training for careers in specified areas of biomedical,
behavioral, and clinical research. The purpose of the NRSA program is to help
ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume
leadership roles related to the Nation's biomedical and behavioral research
agenda. Accordingly, the NRSA program supports predoctoral, postdoctoral, and
short-term research training experiences.
The NIH institutes and centers may have special policies and requirements for
their Institutional Research Training Grants (T32). Therefore, in the early
stages of application preparation, applicants should contact the prospective NIH
awarding component listed at the end of this announcement to discuss their
specific policies.
Predoctoral Training. Predoctoral research training must lead to the Ph.D.
degree or a comparable research doctoral degree. Students enrolled in health-
professional programs who wish to postpone their professional studies in order
to engage in full-time research training may also be appointed to an
Institutional Research Training Grant. Predoctoral research training must
emphasize fundamental training in areas of biomedical and behavioral sciences.
Postdoctoral Training. Postdoctoral research training is for individuals who
have received a Ph.D., D.V.M, D.D.S., M.D., or a comparable doctoral degree from
an accredited domestic or foreign institution. Research training at the
postdoctoral level must emphasize specialized training to meet national research
priorities in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences.
Research training grants are a desirable mechanism for the postdoctoral training
of physicians and other health professionals who may have extensive clinical
training but limited research experience. For such individuals, the training
may be a part of a research degree program. In all cases, postdoctoral trainees
should agree to engage in at least 2 years of research, research training, or
comparable activities beginning at the time of appointment since the duration of
training has been shown to be strongly correlated with post-training research
activity.
Short-Term Research Training for Health-Professional Students. Applications for
Institutional Research Training Grants may include a request for short-term
predoctoral positions reserved specifically to train medical or other health-
professional students on a full-time basis during the summer or other "off-
quarter" periods. Short-term appointments are intended to provide health-
professional students with opportunities to participate in biomedical and/or
behavioral research in an effort to attract these individuals into research
careers.
Short-term research training positions should last at least 2 months but must
not exceed 3 months. Individual health-professional students selected for
appointment should be encouraged to obtain multiple periods of short-term
research training during the years leading to their clinical degree. Such
appointments may be consecutive or may be reserved for summers or other "off-
quarter" periods. Since not all NIH institutes and centers support short-term
research training positions, applicants are strongly urged to contact the
appropriate NIH institute representative, listed at the end of this
announcement, before requesting short-term research training positions.
Short-term appointments on regular NRSA Institutional Research Training Grants
(T32), as described in this announcement, should not be confused with NRSA
Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (T35) which are exclusively
reserved for short-term research training appointments. Information about
Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants can be found at
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-027.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-027.html</a>.
HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion
and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2010," a PHS-led national
activity for setting priority areas. This Program Announcement (PA), NRSA
Institutional Research Training Grant, is related to one or more of the priority
areas. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2010" at
<a href="https://www.health.gov/healthypeople/">http://www.health.gov/healthypeople/</a>.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Applicant Eligibility Requirements
Only domestic, non-profit, private or public institutions may apply for grants
to support research training programs. The applicant institution must have a
strong research program in the area(s) proposed for research training and must
have the requisite staff and facilities to carry out the proposed program. The
research training program director at the institution will be responsible for
the selection and appointment of trainees to the NRSA research training grant
and for the overall direction, management, and administration of the program.
Trainees appointed to the training program must have the opportunity to carry
out supervised biomedical or behavioral research with the primary objective of
developing or extending their research skills and knowledge in preparation for a
research career.
Trainee Eligibility Requirements
Positions on NRSA institutional grants may not be used for study leading to the
M.D., D.D.S., or other clinical, health-professional degrees except when those
studies are a part of a formal combined research degree program, such as the
M.D./Ph.D. Similarly, trainees may not accept NRSA support for studies that are
part of residency training leading to clinical certification in a medical or
dental specialty or subspecialty. It is permissible and encouraged, however,
for clinicians to engage in NRSA supported full-time, postdoctoral research
training even when that experience is creditable toward certification by a
clinical specialty or subspecialty board.
Students enrolled in health-professional doctoral degree programs may receive
support for a period of short-term, full-time research training as described
above. Additionally, health-professional students or individuals in postgraduate
clinical training may interrupt their studies for a year or more to engage in an
extended period of full-time research training before completing their
professional degree or other types of clinical training.
Trainees are required to pursue their research training on a full-time basis,
devoting at least 40 hours per week to the program. Within the 40 hours per week
training period, research trainees who are also training as clinicians must
devote their time to the proposed research training and must confine clinical
duties to those that are an integral part of the research training experience.
Citizenship. To be appointed to a training position supported by an NRSA
research training grant, an individual must be a citizen or noncitizen national
of the United States or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence
(i.e., in possession of a currently valid Alien Registration Receipt Card I-551,
or some other legal verification of such status). Noncitizen nationals are
generally persons born in outlying possessions of the United States (e.g.,
American Samoa and Swains Island). Individuals on temporary or student visas
are not eligible.
Predoctoral Trainees. Predoctoral trainees must have received a baccalaureate
degree by the beginning date of their NRSA appointment, and must be training at
the postbaccalaureate level and enrolled in a program leading to a Ph.D. in
science or in an equivalent research doctoral degree program. Health-
professional students who wish to interrupt their studies for a year or more to
engage in full-time research training before completing their professional
degrees are
also eligible.
Postdoctoral Trainees. Postdoctoral trainees must have received, as of the
beginning date of the NRSA appointment, a Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., or comparable
doctoral degree from an accredited domestic or foreign institution. Eligible
doctoral degrees include, but are not limited to, the following: D.M.D., D.C.,
D.O., D.V.M., O.D., D.P.M., Sc.D., Eng.D., Dr. P.H., D.N.Sc., D. Pharm., N.D.,
D.S.W., and Psy.D. Documentation by an authorized official of the degree-
granting institution certifying all degree requirements have been met prior to
the beginning date of training is acceptable.
Short-Term Health-Professional Trainees. To be eligible for short-term
predoctoral research training positions, health-professional students must be
enrolled and in good standing and must have completed at least one quarter in a
program leading to a clinical doctorate prior to participating in the program.
Individuals matriculated in a formal research degree program, or those holding a
research doctorate or masters degree or a combined health-professional/research
doctorate are not eligible for short-term training positions. Within schools of
pharmacy, only individuals who are candidates for the Pharm.D. degree are
eligible for short-term positions.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
Institutional NRSA research training grants may be made for periods up to 5
years and are renewable. Awards within an approved competitive segment are
normally made in 12-month increments with support for additional years based on
satisfactory progress and the continued availability of funds.
Trainee appointments are normally made in 12-month increments. No trainee may
be appointed for less than 9 months during the initial period of appointment,
except with the prior approval of the NIH awarding unit or when health-
professional students are appointed to approved, short- term research training
positions.
No individual trainee may receive more than 5 years of aggregate NRSA support at
the predoctoral level or 3 years of support at the postdoctoral level, including
any combination of support from institutional training grants and individual
fellowship awards. Any extension of the total duration of trainee support at
either the predoctoral or postdoctoral level requires approval by the director
of the NIH Institute or Center that supports the award. Requests for extension
must be made in writing by the trainee, endorsed by the director of the training
program and the appropriate institutional official, and addressed to the
director of the awarding component. The request must include a compelling
justification for an extension of the statutory limits on the period of support.
Special Program Considerations
The primary objective of the NRSA program is to prepare qualified individuals
for careers that significantly impact the Nation's research agenda. Within the
framework of the program's longstanding commitment to excellence and projected
need for investigators in particular areas of research, attention must be given
to recruiting individuals from racial or ethnic groups underrepresented in the
biomedical and behavioral sciences. The following groups have been identified
as underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research nationally: African
Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Pacific
Islanders. Use of the term "minority" in this announcement will refer to these
groups.
Other considerations relate to the duration of training and the transition of
trainees to individual support mechanisms. Studies have shown that the length
of the appointment to a training grant for postdoctoral trainees with health-
professional degrees strongly correlates with subsequent application for and
receipt of independent NIH research support. Training grant program directors,
therefore, should limit appointments to individuals who are committed to a
career in research and plan to remain on the training grant or in some other
type of research experience for a minimum of 2 years. It has also been shown
that individuals who have been supported by an individual postdoctoral
fellowship are more likely to subsequently apply for and receive NIH research
support than are individuals who have received support only from a research
training grant. Therefore, program directors should encourage postdoctoral
trainees who have proceeded beyond the didactic part of their training to apply
for individual postdoctoral fellowships or mentored career development awards (K
awards). During the review of training grants applications, peer reviewers will
examine the training record to determine the average duration of training
appointments for health-professional postdoctoral trainees and whether there is
a record of transition to individual support mechanisms.
Past studies have shown that health professional trainees, who train in combined
programs with post-doctoral researchers with an intensive research background,
are more likely to apply for and receive research grant support. Programs
located in clinical departments that focus on research training for individuals
with an M.D. or other health-professional degrees should consider developing
ties to basic science departments or modifying their program to include
individuals with research doctoral degrees when such changes are consistent with
the goals of the program. Applications should describe the basic science
department's contribution to the research training experience and also indicate
if both health professional trainees and trainees with research doctorates are
included in the training program.
ALLOWABLE COSTS
Stipends. National Research Service Awards provide funds, in the form of
stipends, to graduate students and postdoctoral trainees. A stipend is provided
as a subsistence allowance to help trainees defray living expenses during the
research training experience. It is not provided as a condition of employment
with either the Federal Government or the awardee institution. Stipends must be
paid to all trainees at the levels approved by the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services. Stipend levels are adjusted from time-to-time and
current stipend levels are available on the NIH website at:
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm</a>.
Predoctoral Trainees. The annual predoctoral stipend for awards made with
fiscal year 2000 funds is $15,060. Stipend levels for fiscal years 2001 and
beyond may change. Consult the NIH website above for the future announcements
of stipend levels. For appointments of less than a year, the stipend will be
based on a monthly pro-ration that is $1,255 per month in fiscal year 2000.
Postdoctoral Trainees. The current annual stipend for postdoctoral trainees is
determined by the number of FULL years of relevant postdoctoral experience at
the time of appointment. Relevant experience may include research experience
(including industrial), teaching, internship, residency, clinical duties, or
other time spent in full-time studies in a health-related field following the
date of the qualifying doctoral degree. Stipend levels for fiscal years 2001 and
beyond may change. Consult the NIH website above for the future announcements
of stipend levels. Postdoctoral stipends for awards made with fiscal year 2000
funds are as follows:
Years of Relevant Experience Annual Amount
Less than 1 $26,916
Greater than or equal to 1 but less than 2 $28,416
Greater than or equal to 2 but less than 3 $33,516
Greater than or equal to 3 but less than 4 $35,232
Greater than or equal to 4 but less than 5 $36,936
Greater than or equal to 5 but less than 6 $38,628
Greater than or equal to 6 but less than 7 $40,332
Greater than or equal to 7 $42,300
Tuition, Fees, and Health Insurance. The NIH will offset the combined cost of
tuition, fees, and health insurance (either self-only or family as appropriate)
at the following rate: 100 percent of all costs up to $3,000 and 60 percent of
costs above $3,000. Costs associated with tuition, fees, and health insurance
are allowable only if they are required for all individuals in a similar
research training status at the institution regardless of the source of support.
A full description of the tuition policy is contained within the NRSA Policy
Guidelines on the NIH website at:
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsaguidelines/nrsa_toc.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsaguidelines/nrsa_toc.htm</a>
Other Trainee Costs. Trainee travel, including attendance at scientific meetings
that the institution determines to be necessary to the individual's research
training, is an allowable trainee expense. In addition, support for travel to a
research training experience away from the institution may be permitted.
Research training experiences away from the parent institution must be justified
considering the type of opportunities for training available, the manner in
which these opportunities differ from and compliment those offered at the parent
institution, and the relationship of the proposed experience to the trainee's
career stage and goals. This type of research training requires prior approval
from the NIH. Letters requesting such training may be submitted to the NIH
awarding component at any time during the award period. Under exceptional
circumstances, which can include providing accommodations for a trainee with
disabilities, it is possible to request institutional costs above the standard
rate. Requests for additional trainee costs must be explained in detail and
carefully justified in the application. Consultation with NIH program staff in
advance of such requests is strongly advised.
The institution may receive up to $167 per month to offset the cost of tuition,
fees, health insurance, travel, supplies, and other expenses for each short-
term, health-professional research training position.
Training Related Expenses: Institutional costs of $2,000 a year per predoctoral
trainee and $2,500 a year per postdoctoral trainee may be requested to defray
the costs of other research training related expenses, such as staff salaries,
consultant costs, equipment, research supplies, and staff travel.
Facilities and Administrative Costs. A facilities and administrative allowance
(indirect cost allowance) based on 8 percent of total allowable direct costs
(this excludes amounts for tuition, fees, health insurance, and equipment) may
be requested. Applications from state and local government agencies may request
full indirect cost reimbursement. See NRSA Policy Guidelines on the NIH Website
at: <a href="http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsaguidelines/nrsa_toc.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsaguidelines/nrsa_toc.htm</a> .
STIPEND SUPPLEMENTATION, COMPENSATION, AND OTHER INCOME
No departure from the established stipend schedule may be negotiated by the
institution with the trainee. For postdoctoral trainees, the stipend for each
additional full year of research training support is the next level in the
stipend structure and does not change in the middle of an appointment. The
grantee institution is allowed to provide funds to an individual in addition to
the stipends paid by the NIH. Such additional amounts may be either in the form
of augmented stipends (supplementation) or in the form of compensation, such as
salary or tuition remission for services such as teaching or serving as a
laboratory assistant, provided the following conditions described below are met.
Under no circumstances may the conditions of stipend supplementation or the
services provided for compensation interfere with, detract from, or prolong the
trainee's approved NRSA training program.
Stipend Supplementation. Supplementation or additional support to offset the
cost of living may be provided by the grantee institution. Supplementation does
not require any additional effort from the trainee. Federal funds may not be
used for supplementation unless specifically authorized under the terms of both
the program from which such supplemental funds are to be received and the
program whose funds are to be supplemented. Under no circumstances may DHHS
funds be used for supplementation.
Compensation. An institution may provide additional funds to a trainee in the
form of compensation (as salary and/or tuition remission) for services such as
teaching or serving as a research assistant. A trainee may receive compensation
for services as a research assistant or in some other position on a Federal
research grant, including a DHHS research grant. However, compensated services
should occur on a limited, part-time basis apart from the normal research
training activities, which require a minimum of 40 hours per week. In addition,
compensation may not be paid from a research grant supporting research that
constitutes the research training experience.
Educational Loans or G.I. Bill. An individual may make use of Federal
educational loan funds and assistance under the Veterans Readjustment Benefits
Act (G.I. Bill). Such funds are not considered supplementation or compensation.
Concurrent Awards. An NRSA may not be held concurrently with another federally
sponsored fellowship or similar Federal award that provides a stipend or
otherwise duplicates provisions of the NRSA.
Tax Liability. Internal Revenue Code Section 117 applies to the tax treatment of
all scholarships and fellowships. Under that section, non-degree candidates are
required to report as gross income any monies paid on their behalf for stipends,
or any course tuition and fees required for attendance. Degree candidates may
exclude from gross income (for tax purposes) any amount used for tuition and
related expenses such as fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for
courses of instruction at a qualified educational organization. The taxability
of stipends, however, in no way alters the relationship between NRSA trainees
and institutions. NRSA stipends are not considered salaries. In addition,
trainees supported under the NRSA are not considered to be in an employee-
employer relationship with the NIH or the awardee institution. It is therefore,
inappropriate and unallowable for institutions to charge costs associated with
employment (such as FICA, workman's compensation, or unemployment insurance) to
the training grant. It must be emphasized that the interpretation and
implementation of the tax laws are the domain of the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) and the courts. The NIH takes no position on the status of a particular
taxpayer, and it does not have the authority to dispense tax advice.
Individuals should consult their local IRS office about the applicability of the
law to their situation and for information on their tax obligations.
PAYBACK PROVISIONS
As specified in the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, NRSA recipients incur a
service payback obligation only during their first 12 months of postdoctoral
support. Additionally, the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 specifies that the
second and subsequent years of postdoctoral NRSA training will serve to pay back
a postdoctoral service payback obligation. Accordingly, the following
guidelines apply:
o Predoctoral trainees are not required to sign the payback agreement and do not
incur a service payback obligation.
o Postdoctoral trainees in the first 12 months of postdoctoral NRSA support must
sign the payback agreement form (PHS form 6031) before initiating an
appointment. Postdoctoral trainees in their first 12 months of support will
incur a period of service payback obligation equal to the period of support.
o Postdoctoral trainees in the 13th and subsequent months of NRSA postdoctoral
support are not required to sign the payback agreement form and will not incur a
service payback obligation for this period of support.
o The 13th and subsequent months of postdoctoral NRSA support are considered
acceptable payback service for prior postdoctoral support. For example,
postdoctoral trainees who continue under that award for 2 years have fulfilled
the obligation incurred during the first 12 months of support by the end of the
second year. Service payback obligations can also be paid back by conducting
health-related research or teaching averaging more than 20 hours per week of a
full work year after terminating NRSA support.
o Recipients with service obligations must begin to provide acceptable payback
service on a continuous basis within two years of termination of NRSA support.
The period for undertaking payback service may be delayed for such reasons as
temporary disability, completion of residency requirements, or completion of the
requirements for a graduate degree. Requests for an extension must be made in
writing to the NIH specifying the need for additional time and the length of the
required extension.
o Recipients of NRSA support are responsible for informing the NIH of changes in
status or address.
o For individuals who fail to fulfill their obligation through service, the
United States is entitled to recover the total amount of NRSA funds paid to the
individual for the obligated period plus interest at a rate determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury. Financial payback must be completed within 3 years
beginning on the date the United States becomes entitled to recover such amount.
o Under certain conditions, the Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (or those delegated this authority) may extend the period for starting
service or repayment, permit breaks in service, or in rare cases in which
service or financial repayment would constitute an extreme hardship, may waive
or suspend the payback obligation of an individual.
o Officials at the awardee institution have the responsibility of explaining the
terms of the payback requirements to all prospective training candidates before
appointment to the training grant. Additionally, all trainees recruited into the
training program must be provided with information related to the career options
that might be available when they complete the program. The relationship of the
positions available and the training provided must also be discussed along with
the applicability of these positions to any outstanding service payback
obligation.
Trainee Reporting Requirements
The institution must submit a completed Statement of Appointment (PHS Form 2271)
for each trainee appointed or reappointed to the training grant at the beginning
of the appointment period. Additionally, a completed Payback Agreement (PHS
Form 6031) must be submitted for each trainee in their first twelve months of
postdoctoral support. Within 30 days of the end of the total support period for
each trainee, the institution must submit a Termination Notice (PHS Form 416-7).
Failure to submit the required forms in a timely, complete, and accurate manner
may result in an expenditure disallowance or a delay in any continuation funding
for the award.
LEAVE
In general, trainees may receive stipends during the normal periods of vacation
and holidays observed by individuals in comparable training positions at the
grantee institution. For the purpose of these awards, however, the period
between the spring and fall semesters is considered to be an active time of
research and research training and is not considered to be a vacation or
holiday. Trainees may receive stipends for up to 15 calendar days of sick leave
per year. Sick leave may be used for the medical conditions related to
pregnancy and childbirth. Trainees may also receive stipends for up to 30
calendar days of parental leave per year for the adoption or the birth of a
child when those in comparable training positions at the grantee institution
have access to paid leave for this purpose and the use of parental leave is
approved by the program director.
A period of terminal leave is not permitted and payment may not be made from
grant funds for leave not taken. Individuals requiring periods of time away from
their research training experience longer than specified here must seek approval
from the NIH awarding component for an unpaid leave of absence. At the
beginning of a leave of absence, the trainee must submit a Termination Notice
(PHS Form 416-7) and upon return from the leave of absence, the trainee must be
formally reappointed to the grant by submitting an updated Statement of
Appointment (PHS Form 2271). Trainees within the first twelve months of
postdoctoral support must also submit a Payback Agreement (PHS Form 6031) upon
return from a leave of absence.
PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS
Inclusion of Women and Minorities in Research Involving Human Subjects. It is
the policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and their
subpopulations must be included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioral
research involving human subjects, unless a clear and compelling rationale and
justification are provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the
health of the subjects or the purpose of the research. This policy results from
the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43). All
investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the "NIH
Guidelines For Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical
Research," which have been published in the Federal Register of March 28, 1994
(FR 59 14508-14513), and in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Vol. 23, No.
11, March 18, 1994, and is available on the web at the following URL address:
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not94-100.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not94-100.html</a> .
Inclusion of Children as Participants in Research Involving Human Subjects. It
is the policy of NIH that children (i.e., individuals under the age of 21) must
be included in all human subjects research, conducted or supported by the NIH,
unless there are scientific and ethical reasons not to include them. This
policy applies to all initial (Type 1) applications submitted for receipt dates
after October 1, 1998.
All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the
"NIH Policy and Guidelines on the Inclusion of Children as Participants in
Research Involving Human Subjects " that was published in the NIH Guide for
Grants and Contracts, March 6, 1998 and is available at the following URL
address: <a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-024.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-024.html</a>.
Investigators may also obtain copies of these policies from the program staff
listed under INQUIRIES. Program staff may also provide additional relevant
information concerning the policy.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Applicants must use the grant application form PHS 398 (rev. 4/98). It contains
special instructions for Institutional National Research Service Awards (T32).
Applications Requesting Short-term Training for Health Professional Students.
Applicants who wish to include a request for short-term research training
positions should identify short-term positions separately within the "stipends"
and "training related expenses" categories on the budget page. Under
"stipends," short-term positions should be listed in the "other" category.
Tuition, fees, health insurance, and trainee travel, and other expenses are to
be included in "training related expenses." The description of the short-term
research training program should be included in the application for the regular
research training program, but should be separated from the description of the
regular program within each section of the application. In addition to the
information requested in the "program plan" section, the applicant should
address the relationship of the proposed short-term program to the regular
research training program and provide assurance that the short-term program will
not detract from the regular program. Applicants must observe the 25-page limit
on the narrative section.

CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC REVIEW
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
6701 ROCKLEDGE DRIVE, ROOM 1040
BETHESDA, MARYLAND 20892
BETHESDA, MARYLAND 20817 (express mail)
REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS
Complete applications will be assigned to the appropriate participating
Institute and a suitable Scientific Review Group. Review groups are composed
primarily of non-government scientists selected for their competence in research
and research training in a particular scientific area. Applicants will be
notified about their application's Institute and Review assignment.
Applications receive two sequential levels of review. The first level is an
assessment of the merit of the proposed research training by the primary review
group. Following the review, the Scientific Review Administrator, who
coordinates the review of applications, prepares a written summary of the review
of each application and forwards it to the appropriate staff contact within the
Institute. The second level of review is at the Institute's Council Meeting.
Review Criteria
Although individual NIH Institutes and Centers may have specialized review
criteria, most applications are evaluated using on the following criteria:
o Past research training record of both the program and the designated
preceptors as determined by the success of former trainees in seeking further
career development and in establishing productive scientific careers. Evidence
of further career development can include receipt of fellowships, career awards,
further training appointments, and similar accomplishments. Evidence of a
productive scientific career can include a record of successful competition for
research grants, receipt of special honors, a record of publications, receipt of
patents, promotion to scientific positions, and any other measure of success
consistent with the nature and duration of the training received.
o Objectives, design, and direction of the research training program;
o Caliber of preceptors as researchers, including successful competition for
research support;
o Institutional training environment, including the level of institutional
commitment, quality of the facilities, availability of appropriate courses, and
availability of research support;
o Recruitment and selection plans for trainees and the availability of high
quality candidates;
o Record of the research training program in retaining health-professional
postdoctoral trainees for at least 2 years in research training or other
research activities;
o When appropriate, the concomitant research training of health-professional
postdoctorates (i.e., individuals with the M.D., D.O., D.D.S., etc.) with basic
science postdoctorates (i.e., individuals with a Ph.D., etc.) or linkages with
basic science departments.
Short-Term Research Training Positions: In addition to the above criteria,
applications that request short-term research training positions will also be
assessed using the following criteria:
o Quality of the proposed short-term research training program including the
commitment and availability of the participating faculty, program design,
availability of research support, and training environment;
o Access to candidates for short-term research training and the ability to
recruit high quality, short-term trainees from the applicant institution or some
other health-professional school;
o Characteristics of the research training program that might be expected to
persuade short-term trainees to consider academic/research careers, particularly
in clinical areas;
o Success in attracting students back for multiple appointments (competing
continuation applications);
o Effect of the short-term training program on the quality of the regular
research training program or any existing, stand-alone short- term research
training program; including the appropriateness of the number of short-term
positions, and the plan to integrate the short-term training program into the
regular research training programs;
o Plan to follow former short-term trainees and to assess the effect of such
research training on their subsequent careers.
ADDITIONAL REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS
Minority Recruitment Plan: The NIH remains committed to increasing the
participation of individuals from underrepresented minority groups in biomedical
and behavioral research. As first announced in 1989, all competing applications
for institutional NRSA research training grants must include a specific plan to
recruit and retain underrepresented minorities in the training program. In
addition, all competing continuation applications must include a report on the
recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities during the previous
award period. If an application is received without a plan or without a report
on the previous award period, the application will be considered incomplete and
will be returned to the applicant without review. Additional information on
this requirement was published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Volume
22, Number 25, July 16, 1993 (see
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/1993/93.07.16/notice-recruitment-o004.html">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/1993/93.07.16/notice-recruitment-o004.html</a> ).
As indicated above, competing continuation applications must include a detailed
account of experiences in recruiting individuals from underrepresented groups
during the previous award period. Information must be included on successful and
unsuccessful recruitment strategies. The report should provide information on
the racial/ethnic distribution of:
o Students or postdoctorates who applied for admission or positions within the
department(s) relative to the training grant,
o Students or postdoctorates who were offered admission to or a position within
the department(s),
o Students actually enrolled in the academic program relevant to the training
grant,
o Students or postdoctorates who were appointed to the research training grant.
For those trainees who were appointed to the grant, the report should include
information about the duration of research training and whether those trainees
have finished their training in good standing. After the overall educational and
technical merit of an application has been assessed, peer reviewers will examine
and evaluate the minority recruitment plan. For competing continuation
applications, the reviewers will also examine and evaluate the record of the
program in recruiting and retaining underrepresented minority trainees during
the previous award period. The panel will consider whether the experience in
recruitment during the previous award period has been incorporated into the
formulation of the recruitment plan for the next award period.
The plan will be discussed after the overall determination of merit. The review
panel's evaluation will not be a factor in the determination of the priority
score but will be included in an administrative note in the summary statement.
If the minority recruitment plan or if the record of recruitment and retention
of minorities is judged to be unacceptable, funding will be withheld until a
revised plan that addresses the deficiencies is received. Staff within the NIH
awarding component, with guidance from the appropriate national advisory
committee or council, will determine whether amended plans and reports submitted
after the initial review are acceptable.
Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research: Every predoctoral and
postdoctoral NRSA trainee supported by an institutional research training grant
must receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. (For more
information on this provision, see the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts,
Volume 21, Number 43, November 27, 1992, see
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/1992/92.11.27/xnotic.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/1992/92.11.27/xnotic.htm</a> ) Applications must
include a description of a program to provide formal or informal instruction in
scientific integrity or the responsible conduct of research. Applications
without plans for instruction in the responsible conduct of research will be
considered incomplete and may be returned to the applicant without review.
o Although the NIH does not establish specific curricula or formal requirements,
all programs are encouraged to consider instruction in the following areas:
conflict of interest, responsible authorship, policies for handling misconduct,
policies regarding the use of human and animal subjects, and data management.
Within the context of training in scientific integrity it is also beneficial to
discuss the mutual responsibilities of the institution and the graduate students
or postdoctorates appointed to the program.
o Plans must address the subject matter of the instruction, the format of the
instruction, the degree of faculty participation, trainee attendance, and the
frequency of instruction.
o The rationale for the proposed plan of instruction must be provided.
o Program reports on the type of instruction provided, topics covered, and other
relevant information, such as attendance by trainees and faculty participation,
must be included in future competing continuation and noncompeting applications.
The NIH encourages institutions to provide instruction in the responsible
conduct of research to all graduate students, postdoctorates, and research staff
regardless of their source of support.
NIH initial review groups will assess the applicant's plans on the basis of the
appropriateness of topics, format, amount and nature of faculty participation,
and the frequency and duration of instruction.
The plan will be discussed after the overall determination of merit, so that the
review panel's evaluation of the plan will not be a factor in the determination
of the priority score. Plans will be judged as acceptable or unacceptable. The
acceptability of the plan will be described in an administrative note on the
summary statement. Regardless of the priority score, applications with
unacceptable plans will not be funded until the applicant provides a revised,
acceptable plan. Staff within the NIH awarding component will judge the
acceptability of the revised plan. Following initial review, the appropriate NIH
institute or center council, board, or other advisory group also reviews
applications. These advisory groups will consider, in addition to the
assessment of the scientific and educational merit of the research training
grant application, the initial review group's comments on the recruitment of
individuals from underrepresented minority groups into the research training
program and the plan for instruction in the responsible conduct of research.
Notification. Shortly after the review meeting, each applicant will be sent
notification of the Review Group's recommendation and the name and phone number
of the Institute program official responsible for the application. When the
program official representing the Institute receives the written summary of the
review, prepared by the SRA after the review meeting, a copy will be forwarded
to the applicant.
Following Council Review, the program official will notify each applicant of the
final disposition of his/her application.
AWARD CRITERIA
Applications are selected for funding primarily on the basis of scientific and
educational merit, but other factors are considered, such as: availability of
funds, research program priorities, the balance among types of research training
supported by the awarding component, the acceptability of the plan for minority
recruitment, and the acceptability of the proposal for instruction in the
responsible conduct of research. The awarding NIH institute will notify the
applicant of the final action shortly after advisory council review.
