Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research award is to enhance the diversity of the health-related research workforce by supporting the research training of predoctoral students from diverse backgrounds including those from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research workforce.&lt;br/&gt;Through this award program, promising predoctoral students will obtain individualized, mentored research training from outstanding faculty sponsors while conducting well-defined research projects in scientific health-related fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers. The proposed mentored research training is expected to clearly enhance the individual's potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientist.   &lt;br/&gt;This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) does not allow candidates to propose to lead an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial, but does allow candidates to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.</description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Sep 2023 11:12:43 -0400</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{02AFE65E-A033-43F7-995E-1FD9154065F2}</guid><link>https://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/current-opportunities/not-od-23-166</link><title>Notice of Special Interest in Research on Family Support and Rejection in the Health and Well-Being of SGM Populations</title><description>The mission of the NIH is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. The NIH is committed to supporting research that will increase scientific understanding of health and well-being and lead to the development of effective evidence-based strategies, interventions, and services for people of all ages and backgrounds. NIH places a high priority on research with individuals and populations at increased risk for adverse health outcomes, and especially those who have received insufficient attention from the scientific research enterprise. To this end, and in response to Executive Order 14075 on Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals, this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) announces an interest in research on the impact and consequences of family support and family rejection on the health and well-being of sexual and gender minority (SGM, defined for NIH purposes in NOT-OD-19-139) individuals across the life course. </description><pubDate>Mon, 28 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{7039C04B-9B08-42C9-B636-212F0C836C67}</guid><link>https://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/current-opportunities/pa-23-189</link><title>Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Admin Supp Clinical Trial Not Allowed)</title><description>The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hereby notify Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) holding specific types of research grants (activity codes listed above) that funds are available for administrative supplements to enhance the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting students, postdoctorates, and eligible investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related research.

The NIDDK administratively funds supplemental slots designated specifically for a selected trainee - either predoctoral or postdoctoral - to an existing T32 or TL1 award. That position remains a part of the T32 or TL1 for as long as the named individual is a member of the training program. When the individual no longer receives support from the T32, the funds for the position are removed from the grant.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To ensure an appropriate training experience, only predoctoral slots are considered for programs that exclusively support predoctoral training; the same applies to postdoctoral slots. Programs supporting both predoctoral and postdoctoral training may apply for either.</description><pubDate>Wed, 15 Dec 2021 19:16:39 -0500</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{F28AFFB4-7DE9-42EB-A843-DC96FEF7458F}</guid><link>https://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/current-opportunities/not-od-21-139</link><title>Extramural Loan Repayment Program for Clinical Researchers (LRP-CR)</title><description>&lt;p&gt;This Notice replaces &lt;a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-133.html"&gt;NOT-OD-20-133&lt;/a&gt; and provides program-specific information for the Extramural Loan Repayment Program for Clinical Researchers (LRP-CR).
