Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (PAR 10-194) is an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training grant, using the T32 mechanism, focused on building strong predoctoral and postdoctoral training pipelines in reproductive, obstetric, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology, along with pharmacoepidemiology. It is issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and is designed to support institutions in creating or sustaining structured research training programs that prepare trainees for impactful research careers aligned with national biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research priorities. The central aim is workforce development: producing a diverse pool of highly trained scientists who can take on leadership roles and meet the country’s health-related research needs, particularly in areas affecting pregnancy, birth outcomes, child health, and medication use and safety in these populations.
The program is institutional rather than individual, meaning the grant is awarded to an eligible organization (not directly to a student or postdoc) so that the institution can recruit, select, and support cohorts of trainees under a cohesive training plan. The training supported is described as broad and fundamental, emphasizing early-stage graduate research training and postdoctoral training. In practice, that usually implies a formalized environment with interdisciplinary mentorship, a defined curriculum and professional development activities, and carefully planned research experiences that build competency in epidemiologic methods and, specifically, pharmacoepidemiology as it relates to reproductive and pediatric populations. The overall emphasis is on preparing qualified individuals for research careers that have significant impact, rather than short-term project staffing.
Awards under this FOA vary in size and duration depending on what each institution proposes and the costs and scope of its training program. NIH does not commit to a fixed number of awards here; instead, the total number and total dollars depend on the number of applications received and, more importantly, their quality, duration, and budget requests. The announcement explicitly notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means institutions are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award, although many training programs may still choose to leverage additional institutional resources to strengthen the training environment.
Eligible applicants include a range of higher-education institutions, including private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. The eligibility language also highlights additional categories of eligible organizations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). This eligibility framing aligns with the broader NIH goal, stated in the purpose, of ensuring a diverse and well-prepared research workforce.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health domain (CFDA 93.865, Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). It was posted and created on May 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2012, and an archive date of June 25, 2012, meaning it is now a historical/archived opportunity rather than an open solicitation. The full announcement was provided through the NIH Grants Guide (linked in the listing), and the contact noted for access or technical issues is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster.
