Opportunity Summary:
The NINDS Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship for MD-PhD students (F31), funding opportunity number PAR-11-127, is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to support highly promising dual-degree trainees during the PhD (dissertation) portion of their combined MD-PhD program. Its central goal is to provide structured, mentored research training for doctoral candidates whose dissertation work falls within scientific, health-related fields that align with the mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), meaning the proposed research and training should be relevant to understanding, preventing, diagnosing, or treating neurological disorders and stroke, or otherwise advancing neuroscience in ways consistent with NINDS priorities.
This opportunity is categorized as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) within the health activity area, and it is tied to CFDA number 93.853, which corresponds to Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants and their institutions are not expected to commit matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is intended to function as an individual fellowship, meaning the application is centered on the trainee and their research training plan, typically carried out under the guidance of a qualified sponsor/mentor at an eligible institution, with a focus on building the fellow's research capabilities and trajectory toward a career in biomedical research relevant to neurology, stroke, and related neuroscience fields.
Eligibility is defined primarily at the institutional level for applicant organizations. Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S.-based entities such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as specified), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also explicitly includes several categories of institutions in its eligibility expansion, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and eligible federal government agencies. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, which effectively restricts the fellowship activities and institutional administration to U.S.-based organizations and U.S.-based training environments.
In terms of timing and lifecycle details provided in the source data, the opportunity was posted and created on February 18, 2011. The original closing date and the listed current closing date are both January 7, 2013, and the archive date is February 7, 2013, indicating that this specific announcement is no longer active and has been archived. For historical reference or to review the full original program announcement language, NIH provided an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page for PAR-11-127. For technical issues accessing the announcement or problems linking to the funding notice, the listed point of contact is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, this fellowship opportunity is best understood as a targeted NRSA predoctoral mechanism aimed specifically at MD-PhD trainees doing dissertation research in areas relevant to NINDS, offering a formal structure for mentored research training without requiring institutional cost matching, and limited to eligible U.S. applicant organizations with no foreign organization applicants or foreign components permitted.
