These programs concentrate on both didactic and experiential training in laboratory animal medicine and program management. The amount of research training is variable, depending upon the program selected and the interests of the training faculty. Sources of Funding 1.
Funding is for a maximum of three years.
The F32 applicants must arrange for a sponsor at an appropriate host institution to supervise their training experience. Stipends and terms of appointment for this program are the same as for the T32 program. The first three years of the award are used to further the candidate's research training. The last two years are dedicated to independent research which is proposed as an outgrowth of findings during the initial three years of the award. The application and review process is analogous to that used for R01 grants.
