<p style="margin-left:0px;">The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants (T32) to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and/or enhance predoctoral and postdoctoral research training, including short-term research training, to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to meet the needs of the Nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research agenda. Research training programs are expected to incorporate engaging, didactic, research, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation. Programs proposing only short-term predoctoral research training should not apply to this announcement, but rather to the Kirschstein-NRSA Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant Program (T35) exclusively reserved for predoctoral, short-term research training.</p>

<a id='_bookmark222936' tabindex='-1' aria-hidden='true'></a><p>The overall goal of the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists is available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. In order to accomplish this goal, NRSA training programs are designed to train individuals to conduct research and to prepare for research careers. More information about NRSA programs may be found at the<a href="https://researchtraining.nih.gov/programs/training-grants/T32-a"> Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award</a> (NRSA) website.</p><p>The NRSA program has been the primary means of supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral research training programs since enactment of the NRSA legislation in 1974. Institutional NRSA programs allow the Training Program Director/Principal Investigator (Training PD/PI) to select trainees and develop an enhanced program of coursework, mentored research experiences, and technical, operational and professional skills development that provides added value to already existing programs and prepares the appointed trainees for careers in the biomedical research workforce (the breadth of careers that sustain the biomedical research enterprise, including but limited to careers as independent NIH-funded investigators).</p><p>The grant offsets the costs of stipends, tuition and fees, and training related experiences, including health insurance, for the appointed trainees in accordance with the approved NIH support levels. The proposed institutional research training program may complement other ongoing research training and career development programs at the applicant organization but must be clearly distinct from related program currently receiving Federal support.</p><h4><strong>Purpose</strong></h4><p>The purpose of the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) program is to develop and/or enhance research training opportunities for individuals interested in careers in biomedical, behavioral or social sciences, and clinical research, in health services research, or in any other discipline relevant to the NIH mission. NIH encourages biomedical research training to keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise that is increasingly complex, interdisciplinary, quantitative, and collaborative. Programs should prepare trainees to effectively engage in a research enterprise characterized by increased breadth in the backgrounds of individuals participating, the approaches taken to investigate research questions, and the range of careers that biomedical doctoral recipients are pursuing. There is also increasing recognition of the need to enhance the reproducibility of biomedical research results through scientific rigor and transparency, and the skills of mentors to effectively engage a more diverse trainee population.</p><p>Each proposed program should provide rigorous research training, and mentored research experiences, and are expected to help trainees develop:</p><ul><li>The skills to independently acquire the knowledge needed to advance their chosen field; </li><li>The ability to think critically and independently, and to identify important research questions and approaches that push forward the boundaries of their areas of study;</li><li>An understanding of the health-related sciences and the relationship of their research training to health and disease;</li><li>A strong foundation in scientific reasoning, rigorous and reproducible research design, experimental methods, quantitative and computational approaches, and data analysis and interpretation;</li><li>The skills to conduct research in the safest manner possible, and a commitment to approaching biomedical research responsibly, ethically, and with integrity;</li><li>Experience initiating, conducting, interpreting and presenting rigorous and reproducible research with increasing self-direction;</li><li>The ability to work effectively in teams with colleagues from a variety of cultural and scientific backgrounds and to promote inclusive and supportive scientific research environments;</li><li>The skills to teach and communicate scientific research methodologies and findings to a wide variety of audiences (e.g., discipline-specific, across disciplines, and the public); and</li><li>The knowledge, professional skills, and experiences required to identify and transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce.</li></ul><h4 style="margin-left:0in;"><strong>Program Considerations</strong></h4><p> This NOFO is intended to support rigorous research training programs that will promote the development of a biomedical research workforce that will benefit from the full range of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds needed to advance and translate discovery for the benefit of all. NIH expects organizations to engage in outreach and recruitment activities to encourage </p><p>Applicants are expected to identify unique training goals and objectives (i.e., specific and measurable outcomes the program intends to achieve) and develop plans to implement evidence-informed training and mentoring activities (i.e., approaches that are grounded in the literature and from evaluations of existing relevant training programs) to address those needs and objectives.</p><p style="margin-left:.8pt;"><i><strong>Inclusive, Safe, Accessible and Supportive Research Training Environments that Promote Scientific Rigor</strong></i></p><p>Funded programs are expected to implement robust plans to develop inclusive, safe, accessible, and supportive research training environments to maximize success for all individuals in the training program</span>. Specifically, funded programs should have institutional and departmental environments where individuals from all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups, are welcomed and feel integrated into and supported by the biomedical research community. Funded programs are also expected to implement plans to enhance trainee retention (i.e., to sustain the scientific interests and participation of trainees from all backgrounds), which may be integrated with plans for mentor training (see below). Safety in research training environments should encompass:</p><ul><li>Environments free from <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/harassment.htm">harassment, bullying and intimidation</a>, in which everyone participating is treated in a respectful and supportive manner,</li><li>Laboratory and clinical settings where individuals exercise the highest standards of practice for chemical, biological and physical safety (for more information see examples of <a href="https://nigms.nih.gov/training/Pages/Laboratory-Safety-Training-and-Guidelines.aspx">Laboratory Safety Training Guidelines</a>), and</li><li>Practices at the institutional leadership and research community levels that demonstrate core values and behaviors to emphasize safety over competing goals.</li></ul><p style="margin-left:0in;">Biomedical research and the resulting scientific knowledge are increasingly complex, multidisciplinary, and collaborative in nature. Training PDs/PIs are encouraged to develop institutional training programs that will provide trainees with education and experience in a variety of rigorous and reproducible scientific approaches, systems for study, tools, and technologies. Consideration of team-based research approaches may also be warranted depending upon the goals of the proposed training program. Funded training programs must ensure that trainees have a solid foundation in methods to enhance data reproducibility through rigor and transparency (for examples, see <a href="https://www.nih.gov/research-training/rigor-reproducibility/training">NIH Rigor and Reproducibility Training</a>).</p><p style="margin-left:0in;"><i><strong>Mentor Training</strong></i></p><p style="margin-left:.8pt;">Effective mentorship is critical to the development and retention of scientists and the advancement of research. Studies have shown that effective mentorship has overall positive effects on mentees, mentors and the overall research environment (e.g., improved academic achievement, retention, and degree attainment, career satisfaction, career commitment of trainees from all backgrounds, and enhanced integration of trainees from underrepresented groups into the biomedical academic community; see National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2019, <a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/the-science-of-effective-mentoring-in-stemm" Title="Link to Non-U.S. Government Site">The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM</a>). Formal training, and ongoing professional development in effective mentoring practices has been shown to improve the knowledge and skills of research mentors across career stages.</p><p style="margin-left:.8pt;">Funded training programs are expected to support effective mentorship by ensuring all program faculty complete formal mentor training and periodic refreshers. Programs should consider the following as potential mentor training components, and are encouraged to adapt to program and trainee needs:</p><ul><li>Aligning expectations.</li><li>Maintaining effective communication.</li><li>Fostering independence.</li><li>Assessing understanding. </li><li>Enhancing professional development.</li><li>Addressing equity and inclusion.</li><li>Articulating a mentoring philosophy and plan.</li></ul><p><i><strong>Trainee Career Development</strong></i></p><p>Scientists supported by NRSA training programs pursue a wide variety of careers in the biomedical research workforce in a variety of sectors. These include research-intensive careers in academia, industry and government, and research-related careers in academic institutions, government agencies, for-profit businesses, and private foundations that directly benefit the broader biomedical research enterprise. Training PDs/PIs should make available appropriate skills training so that trainees are prepared to apply for subsequent independent support for their training, career development or research program (e.g., an individual fellowship award, mentored career development award, or research project grant), as appropriate for their career stage and interest. Training programs should also make available structured career development opportunities (e.g., workshops, individual development plans, informational interviews, shadowing, internships) so that trainees will obtain a working knowledge of various potential career paths that would make strong use of the knowledge and skills gained during research training, and the steps, experiences, networks, and credentials required to transition successfully to the next stage of their chosen career.</p><p><i><strong>Considerations for Clinicians and Dual-degree Students</strong></i></p><p>Past studies have shown that health professional trainees who train in programs with postdoctoral researchers who have intensive research backgrounds are more likely to work with their institutions to apply for and receive subsequent research grant support. Programs that emphasize research training for individuals with the MD or other health-professional degrees are therefore encouraged to develop interactions with basic science departments and include trainees with research doctorates when this approach is consistent with the goals of the proposed training program.</p><p>Institutional research training grants must be used to support a program of full-time research training. Within the full-time training period, research trainees who are also training as clinicians must devote their time to the proposed research training and confine clinical duties to those that are an integral part of the research training experience or can be conducted in the allowable additional 25% of their time (e.g., 10 hours per week) that may be devoted to clinical employment. The program may not be used to support studies leading to the MD, DDS, or other clinical, health-professional degrees except when those studies are part of a formal combined research degree program, such as the MD/PhD. Similarly, trainees may not accept NRSA support for clinical training that is 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.</p><p><i><strong>Other Considerations</strong></i></p><p>Institutional commitment and support for the proposed training program are important elements of the application. The research training program may complement and synergize with other ongoing federally supported research training and career development programs at the applicant institution (e.g., in the development of skills needed for careers in the biomedical research workforce that are not discipline-specific); however, the research training goals and objectives must be distinct from related programs at the same institution currently receiving federal support. Funded programs are expected to provide evidence of accomplishing the training goals in progress reports and upon renewal, to make aggregate data on training and career outcomes publicly available, and are strongly encouraged to disseminate successful training practices to the broader training community. Training grant funds may not be used solely as a vehicle to provide stipends for trainees to conduct research.</p><p>The duration of training, the transition of trainees to individual support mechanisms, and their transition to the next career stage are important considerations in institutional training programs. Also, an important consideration is the engagement of trainees in their training goals, process and activities through the program that enhances what they may be getting in existing programs within the institution. Training PD/PIs should limit appointments to individuals who plan to remain in the training program for no less than two years, whether that support comes from a training grant or some combination of NRSA and non-NRSA programs institution.</p><p>Short-term training is not intended, and may not be used, to support activities that would ordinarily be part of a research degree program, nor for any undergraduate-level training. Short-term positions should be requested at the time of application, as described in the <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/HTML5/section_11/11.1_general.htm">NIH Grants Policy Statement</a>. Research training programs solely for short-term research training should not apply to this announcement, but rather the T35 NRSA NOFO, which can be found in the <a href="https://researchtraining.nih.gov/programs/training-grants">NIH Training Kiosk.</a> </p>

<p>Program faculty should be active researchers in the biomedical sciences as demonstrated by recent publications and research support in the area of the proposed research training program. Programs are encouraged to recruit prospective preceptors/mentors from a wide variety of backgrounds, for example, faculty from underrepresented groups (see <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-031.html">Notice of NIH's Interest in Diversity</a>) and faculty at different career stages (for example, early stage investigators as well as senior faculty). When building a training team, programs should include faculty who are committed to training, mentoring, and providing inclusive, safe, accessible, and supportive research training environments. All program faculty should have a mentoring philosophy appropriately tailored to the needs of potential trainees that ensures trainees will receive the tailored mentorship needed to develop skills and advance their career. Program faculty should also have sufficient time to commit to training given their other professional obligations</span>.</p>

(<i>A plan involving only on-line instruction is not acceptable.</i>); 2) <i><strong>Subject Matter –</strong></i> Does the plan include a sufficiently broad selection of subject matter, such as conflict of interest, authorship, data management, human subjects and animal use, laboratory safety, research misconduct, research ethics? 3) <i><strong>Faculty Participation -</strong></i> Does the plan adequately describe how faculty will participate in the instruction? For renewal applications, are all training faculty who served as course directors, speakers, lecturers, and/or discussion leaders during the past project period named in the application? 4) <i><strong>Duration of Instruction -</strong></i> Does the plan meet the minimum requirements for RCR, i.e., at least eight contact hours of instruction? 5) <i><strong>Frequency of Instruction –</strong></i> Does the plan meet the minimum requirements for RCR, i.e., at least once during each career stage (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, predoctoral, postdoctoral, and faculty levels) and at a frequency of no less than once every four years?</p><p style="margin-left:18.75pt;">For renewal applications, does the progress report document acceptable RCR instruction in the five components described above?

The recipient agrees to this when registering in SAM.gov. The recipient must also submit an Assurance of Compliance (<a href="https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/form-hhs690.pdf">HHS-690</a>). To learn more, see the <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-providers/laws-regulations-guidance/laws/index.html">Laws and Regulations Enforced by the HHS Office for Civil Rights website</a>.<ul><li>HHS recognizes that NIH research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator’s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research. For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this NOFO.</li></ul></li></ul><p>All federal statutes and regulations relevant to federal financial assistance, including those highlighted in <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/HTML5/section_4/4_public_policy_requirements__objectives_and_other_appropriation_mandates.htm">NIH Grants Policy Statement Section 4 Public Policy Requirements, Objectives and Other Appropriation Mandates.</a></p><p>Recipients are responsible for ensuring that their activities comply with all applicable federal regulations.
