Opportunity Summary:
The National Research Service Award (NRSA) Postdoctoral Fellowships in Epidemiology, Clinical Trials, and Outcomes Research in Skin Diseases (F32) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-06-536) sponsored by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) in partnership with the American Skin Association (ASA). Its main purpose is to help physicians who already have strong training and clinical expertise in dermatology add rigorous research training in epidemiology, clinical trials methodology, and outcomes research, specifically as these skills apply to skin diseases. In practical terms, the program is designed to create clinician-researchers who can ask and answer real-world questions about skin disease risk, treatment effectiveness, patient outcomes, and healthcare delivery using modern population-based and trial-based methods.
This opportunity uses the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual Postdoctoral NRSA Fellowship mechanism (F32), which is geared toward supporting individualized postdoctoral research training under the guidance of an established mentor and training environment. The fellowship is intended to fund up to two years of advanced training, with an emphasis on building formal methodological expertise. The announcement explicitly notes that the training period may be used to pursue a Master of Public Health (MPH) or a closely related graduate degree (for example, biostatistics or similar quantitative disciplines) and/or to support training toward a Ph.D. in epidemiology. The overall goal is career development: by the end of the fellowship, the recipient should be well positioned to pursue a long-term research career focused on epidemiology, clinical trials, and outcomes research in dermatologic and skin-related conditions.
A key limitation is the project period. Applications under this program may request no more than two years of support. Additionally, the announcement reminds applicants about the broader NRSA time cap: the requested period should be reduced by any prior NRSA postdoctoral support the fellow has already received, including time supported on institutional NRSA training grants (such as T32 programs), so that total NRSA postdoctoral support does not exceed three years. This matters for applicants who have already been funded on other NRSA training mechanisms, because it can reduce the maximum duration they are allowed to request under this specific F32.
The funding activity is categorized under health, and the relevant CFDA listing is 93.846 (Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Although the fellowship is aimed at training individuals, the posted eligibility categories for applicant organizations are broad and include many common research and public service entities (such as nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, small businesses, and other for-profit entities outside of small business). The announcement also states that foreign institutions are eligible to apply and that eligible federal government agencies may apply, which expands the range of potential sponsoring institutions and training sites beyond the typical domestic university setting.
There are also standard NIH fellowship submission rules highlighted in the listing. An individual cannot have two or more competing NIH fellowship applications pending review at the same time, and NIH CSR will not accept an application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed. In other words, applicants need to plan their submission strategy carefully and avoid submitting overlapping fellowship proposals concurrently or resubmitting substantially unchanged applications that have already gone through review.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 25, 2006, and it used multiple receipt dates (rather than one single deadline), with the listing indicating a current closing date of June 23, 2009 and an archive date of July 23, 2009. The full announcement was made available through NIH at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-06-536.html), and the contact listed for access or linking problems is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
