Opportunity Summary:
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Parent F31 Diversity), Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-148, is an NIH fellowship program designed to strengthen and diversify the future health-related research workforce. Its central goal is to support promising predoctoral students who are from groups that have been shown to be underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research workforce. The opportunity specifically aims to expand participation by supporting students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, with the broader intent of improving the breadth of perspectives and experiences represented in health research and, ultimately, the quality and relevance of the science produced.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity, and the funding instrument is a grant administered by the National Institutes of Health. The fellowship is structured around an individualized, mentored research training experience: an eligible predoctoral student (the fellow) works closely with an outstanding faculty sponsor to pursue a well-defined research project while also receiving training that builds strong foundations for an independent research career. The emphasis is not only on completing a specific project, but also on developing the fellow's long-term potential to become a productive, independent research scientist. In practice, this typically means the application and training plan need to show clear mentorship, a rigorous research environment, thoughtful professional development, and a trajectory that positions the fellow for future research leadership.
The scientific scope is broad and tied to the missions of participating NIH Institutes and Centers, spanning many areas of health-related research. The announcement lists numerous CFDA program areas, reflecting the fellowship's relevance across domains such as environmental health (93.113), oral diseases (93.121), human genome research (93.172), communication disorders (93.173), complementary and integrative health (93.213), sleep disorders (93.233), mental health (93.242), alcohol research (93.273), drug abuse and addiction (93.279), health technology innovation (93.286), minority health and health disparities (93.307), research infrastructure (93.351), nursing research (93.361), cancer research manpower (93.398), cardiovascular and related diseases (93.837-93.839), arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions (93.846), diabetes and kidney diseases (93.847), neurological disorders and neurosciences (93.853), allergy and infectious diseases (93.855-93.856), microbiology and infectious diseases (93.856), broad biomedical research and training (93.859), child health and human development (93.865), aging (93.866), vision research (93.867), and medical library assistance (93.879). In other words, the opportunity is intended to be flexible enough to support a wide range of predoctoral research topics, as long as they align with NIH priorities and the relevant Institute or Center missions.
Eligibility in the source data is framed in terms of applicant organizations and includes a wide mix of institution types. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with other entities as clarified in the opportunity. The eligibility list explicitly includes several categories of institutions that commonly serve underrepresented populations, 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 Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). The announcement also indicates that non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, that non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may apply, and that foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed.
From an administrative timeline perspective, the opportunity was posted March 6, 2014 (created March 7, 2014), with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2017, and an archive date of February 7, 2017.
