Opportunity Summary:
The Limited Competition Scholars Training for the Advancement of Research (STAR) Revision to NINR T32 Training Grants (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NR-13-010) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) that targets a very specific goal: strengthening the pipeline of nurse scientists who can tackle complex clinical and basic research questions using integrated, interdisciplinary approaches. Rather than funding brand-new training programs, STAR is set up as a revision mechanism to existing NINR-funded institutional training grants (T32). In practical terms, it functions like an add-on to an already active NINR T32 training program, allowing a current awardee to expand its training capacity in a focused way.
The core purpose of this STAR revision is to support fast-track preparation of future researchers by funding up to two additional trainees (students) in an integrated interdisciplinary BSN-to-PhD training pathway. The emphasis is on accelerating progression from undergraduate nursing education into doctoral research training, while keeping the experience interdisciplinary. The intent is to produce researchers who are not only grounded in nursing science but also prepared to collaborate across disciplines and methods to solve difficult health problems that span clinical practice and foundational science.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity with an Education and Health activity focus, listed under CFDA 93.361 (Nursing Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants are not expected to contribute a required institutional financial match as a condition of eligibility. Because it is labeled a limited competition, the applicant pool is restricted; the program is not open to all institutions generally, and the eligibility rules are central to whether an application can even be considered.
Eligibility is limited to institutions that already hold an active NINR-funded T32 institutional training grant and that have at least two years remaining on that T32 award from the expected start date of the requested revision. This requirement signals that NINR expects the host training infrastructure to be stable and ongoing long enough to properly recruit, appoint, and support the additional STAR trainees within the existing T32 environment. The opportunity is explicitly limited to domestic entities. Foreign institutions are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not permitted. In addition, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, reinforcing that the training and administered program activities must remain within allowable U.S.-based institutional structures.
Key administrative dates show that the announcement was posted and created on March 18, 2013, with an application closing date of May 14, 2013, and an archive date of June 14, 2013, indicating that this particular solicitation was time-limited and is no longer active as originally issued. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the application format is a revision application submitted by the program director(s)/principal investigator(s) leading the currently funded T32 at a school of nursing.
For applicants seeking the original announcement and full details, the NIH posting was provided via the grants.nih.gov RFA page (RFA-NR-13-010). The listed support contact for access or linking problems was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
