Donor Name: National Institute on Aging (NIA)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: (mm/dd/yyyy) 01/16/2024
Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000
Grant Duration: 2 Years
Details:
These awards provide funding to support graduate students from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, in finishing their dissertations. Specifically, the award supports dissertation research costs of students enrolled in accredited research doctoral programs in the United States (including Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories or possessions).
The purpose of this NOFO is in alignment with key elements of NIA’s Strategic Directions for Research on Aging, including fostering the development of researchers and clinician-scientists in aging and to work to recruit, train, and retain scientists from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. This program will support individuals at a particularly critical juncture in their doctoral training – a period during which institutional support often declines or terminates altogether – with support not readily or sufficiently available in Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) predoctoral (F31) programs, which limits support to stipends, tuition and fees, and institutional allowance. These awards are available to support predoctoral students, including those from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral sciences, who are enrolled, and in good standing, in accredited research-doctoral programs in the United States (including Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories or possessions).
Project Period
Support is provided for up to two years.
