Opportunity Summary:
The NHLBI Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD Fellows (F30) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity designed to support individuals pursuing combined medical and research doctoral training who plan to build research careers aligned with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) mission. In practical terms, it funds predoctoral fellows who are training to become physician-scientists and whose research focuses on topics connected to heart, lung, blood, and related sleep disorders research areas that fall under NHLBI program priorities. The goal is to provide structured, mentored research support during the MD/PhD pathway so that recipients can develop strong research skills, produce high-quality scientific work, and continue into research-intensive clinical and academic careers.
This opportunity accepts applications from two main groups of prospective fellows: students who are already enrolled in a combined MD/PhD program, and current medical or graduate students who intend to seek admission to an MD/PhD program. For applicants who are not yet formally enrolled in a combined degree program at the time of application, the key condition is that any award made is contingent upon the applicant subsequently enrolling in an MD/PhD program. In other words, the fellowship is aimed specifically at combined-degree training, and the funding depends on the trainee actually being in that training track.
The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with the NHLBI as the sponsoring institute. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. The announcement is associated with several CFDA program areas that reflect the NHLBI scope, including 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research), and 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means applicants and their institutions are not expected to commit matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility in the posted record is broad at the organizational level, listing categories such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and some non-501(c)(3) entities), and other organizations as further described in the full announcement. The listing also explicitly includes a range of institution types and eligible agencies, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and eligible federal agencies. Even though the fellowship is an individual award meant for a trainee, these eligibility categories matter because NIH fellowships are typically submitted through and administered by an eligible sponsoring institution on behalf of the applicant, with the applicant’s training environment, mentors, and institutional support forming a major part of the review context.
Key administrative dates in the record show the opportunity was posted and created on February 16, 2011, with an original closing date of January 7, 2013, and the same current closing date listed as January 7, 2013. The archive date is February 7, 2013, meaning this particular announcement is no longer active in that form, but it remains useful as a reference point for the structure and intent of the NHLBI F30 mechanism and for tracking historical requirements and program language.
For applicants and institutions looking for the complete terms, instructions, and any details not captured in the summary record, the full announcement was provided through the NIH Grants Guide at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-125.html.
