Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) in Nursing Research | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) in Nursing Research is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically tied to the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Its central purpose is to grow the pipeline of doctorally prepared nurses by supporting predoctoral research training for individuals who are preparing to become independent scientists. NINR highlights a workforce need for well-trained behavioral, biological, and biobehavioral researchers in nursing, and this fellowship is positioned as a way to strengthen research skills early in a nurse scientist's career while they complete doctoral training.

A key emphasis of this announcement is helping nursing trainees move efficiently through research-focused doctoral pathways. NINR signals particular interest in applicants who are in research training programs designed for recent nursing graduates and those enrolled in accelerated or direct-entry routes such as BSN-to-PhD programs. In practice, that means the fellowship is intended to support individuals who are already engaged in rigorous research training and who can use fellowship support to deepen their scientific development, build strong mentorship relationships, and produce high-quality research outputs during their predoctoral years.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PAR 05 091, with the activity aligned to education and health and associated with CFDA number 93.361 (Nursing Research). The funding instrument type is a grant, and it does not require cost sharing or matching, which can reduce barriers for applicants and sponsoring institutions. While the award is aimed at individual predoctoral fellows, the eligible applicant organizations span a broad range of institution types that can sponsor or administer NIH training support, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities other than higher education), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). This wide eligibility suggests NINR intended the fellowship to be accessible across many training environments where nursing research mentorship and infrastructure are available.

Timing details in the source record reflect that the opportunity was posted on December 2, 2008, with an original closing date of January 7, 2010. The record also shows a current closing date of July 2, 2009 and an archive date of July 3, 2009, indicating that the listing was ultimately archived and that prospective applicants would need to consult the full announcement and NIH guidance to understand the applicable submission windows that were in effect at the time. For the complete official announcement text and requirements, the additional information link is provided as http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-05-091.html, which is where NIH typically includes detailed eligibility rules, application components, review criteria, and submission instructions.

For practical support, the contact information provided is geared toward technical access issues with the online announcement rather than programmatic questions. Applicants who could not access the announcement electronically or had problems linking to it were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
