Dr. Gary Fleming, Grants Management Officer. This program has no statutory formula or matching requirements. Awards for institutional grants may be made for project periods of up to 5 years. An institutional allowance will be provided, upon request, to the sponsoring institution for each awardee. In addition, any domestic public or nonprofit institution may apply for an institutional research training grant in a specified area of research from which a number of stipend awards will be made to individuals selected by the training program director at the institution.
Support is available for both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees.
Actual tuition fees can be requested for trainees, and an amount for institutional expenses may be requested. Indirect costs may be requested at 8 percent of total direct costs, exclusive of tuition and related fees or actual indirect costs, whichever is less. Research training support may not be used for intern or other clinical training. Annual reports of activities for tracking payback provisions are sometimes required from fellows upon termination of support. For Institutional grants a Financial Status Report must be submitted within 90 days after the end of the budget period.
