Opportunity Summary:
The Minority Institutional Research Training Program (T32) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ruth L. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) training grant sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Its main goal is to strengthen research training capacity at minority serving institutions by supporting structured research training for predoctoral students, health professional students, and postdoctoral trainees. The program focuses specifically on building a pipeline of researchers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic (blood), and sleep disorders research, with an emphasis on giving trainees early, meaningful exposure to biomedical and behavioral research so they are more likely to pursue long-term research careers in these fields.
A central theme of the opportunity is expanding and diversifying the research workforce. The training appointments are made by the applicant institution, and the program is explicitly designed to promote recruitment and training of individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds. This includes (as described in the announcement) individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds whose circumstances have limited access to research career pathways. NIH also signals that institutions should be intentional about identifying candidates who will measurably increase diversity at the institutional level and/or contribute to diversity nationally in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences.
The funding mechanism is a T32 institutional training grant, meaning the award is made to an eligible institution rather than directly to individual trainees. The institution is responsible for designing and running a meritorious training program and for selecting trainees, providing research experiences, mentoring, and career development opportunities aligned with the NHLBI mission areas noted above. This specific funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is listed as Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-10-014 and is described as a reissue of an earlier solicitation (RFA-HL-08-017), indicating continuation of a previously competed program concept.
In terms of scale, the FOA states that approximately $250,000 per year in total costs is expected to be available for the program, although the final amount can vary depending on application volume and NHLBI funding availability. The NHLBI anticipated making about two new awards per year under this announcement. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more feasible for institutions that have limited discretionary resources.
Eligibility is aimed at minority serving institutions and similar higher education entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with specified categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and other eligible entities as clarified in the full announcement. The activity category is health, and the relevant CFDA program areas listed include sleep disorders research and research programs in cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases (CFDA numbers 93.233, 93.837, 93.838, and 93.839).
Administratively, the agency is NIH (with NHLBI as the sponsoring institute). The FOA was posted June 25, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2009, and an archive date of September 25, 2009, indicating this particular posting is historical rather than currently open. The full details, including application instructions and program requirements, were hosted on the NIH grants website under the RFA link provided in the announcement.
