Opportunity Summary:
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short Term Institutional Research Training Grant (T35) is an NIH grant opportunity designed to help eligible institutions build, strengthen, or expand short, intensive research training programs for individuals at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels who are considering careers in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research. In practice, many NIH Institutes and Centers rely on the T35 mechanism specifically to fund concentrated summer research experiences for students enrolled in health professional schools, giving them a structured way to spend a focused block of time embedded in research. Beyond summer programs, the T35 can also support other short-term training models that target well-defined scientific topics, including emerging areas that align closely with the mission of the specific NIH Institute or Center participating in the opportunity.
At the core of this funding announcement is the goal of career exposure and pipeline development. The program aims to encourage graduate students and health professional students to pursue research paths by providing meaningful, hands-on involvement in the health-related sciences. NIH is explicit that the training experience should not be superficial; it should be deep enough that trainees finish the program with a solid grounding in the principles of how research is conducted. The proposed training supported by T35 must fall within basic research, behavioral research, or clinical research as they relate to the health sciences, ensuring that the experience is tied directly to rigorous, health-relevant scientific inquiry rather than general professional development alone.
The mechanism of support is an institutional training grant under the NRSA umbrella, meaning the award is made to an institution rather than directly to individual trainees. The institution then administers the program, structures the training experience, and supports trainees consistent with NIH expectations for research training environments. Because it is an institutional program, successful applications generally need to demonstrate that the organization has the mentoring capacity, research infrastructure, and training plan needed to run a high-quality short-term program, and that the proposed training focus matches the priorities of the relevant NIH Institute or Center.
Funding levels and the number of awards are not fixed in the announcement. Instead, NIH indicates that awards will depend on the volume of submissions and, most importantly, how many applications are judged meritorious through the official peer review process. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which reduces barriers for institutions that might otherwise struggle to provide non-federal match.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of U.S.-based entities such as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits). The announcement also explicitly includes several categories of mission-focused institutions and community-based entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, other Native American tribal organizations and governments (including those other than federally recognized), faith-based or community-based organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. This wide eligibility reflects NIH interest in expanding research training opportunities across diverse institutional settings and populations.
Administrative details in the source information identify this opportunity as Funding Opportunity Number PA 10 037, posted November 27, 2009 (with later record creation noted as March 25, 2011) and archived June 7, 2011. The activity is categorized under a grant instrument and broadly aligned with education, environment, health, and social services-related activity categories. The announcement is tied to multiple CFDA numbers spanning many NIH mission areas, reflecting that different NIH Institutes and Centers can use the T35 mechanism in support of training that fits their specific research priorities, from aging, vision, and infectious diseases to cardiovascular and child health, among others.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Short Term Institutional Research Training Grant (T35)?
The T35 is an NIH institutional training grant mechanism designed to help eligible institutions build, strengthen, or expand short, intensive research training programs. It supports training for individuals at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels who are considering careers in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research.
2) What is the main purpose of this T35 funding opportunity?
The core goal is career exposure and pipeline development. The program aims to encourage graduate students and health professional students to pursue research careers by providing meaningful, hands-on research involvement and a solid grounding in how research is conducted.
3) Who is the award made to: the trainee or the institution?
The T35 is an institutional NRSA training grant. The award is made to an institution, not directly to individual trainees. The institution administers the program, structures the training experience, and supports trainees consistent with NIH expectations for research training environments.
4) What kinds of training programs does the T35 typically support?
In practice, many NIH Institutes and Centers use the T35 mechanism to fund concentrated summer research experiences for students enrolled in health professional schools. The T35 can also support other short-term training models that focus on well-defined scientific topics, including emerging areas aligned with the mission of the participating NIH Institute or Center.
5) Is this limited to summer programs only?
No. While summer research experiences are a common use of the T35, the mechanism can support other short-term, intensive training formats as long as they target well-defined scientific topics and align with the mission of the relevant NIH Institute or Center.
6) What research areas are considered allowable under this opportunity?
The supported training must fall within basic research, behavioral research, or clinical research as they relate to the health sciences. The intent is that trainees engage in rigorous, health-relevant scientific inquiry rather than general professional development alone.
7) How intensive does the training experience need to be?
NIH indicates the training should not be superficial. The experience should be deep enough that trainees complete the program with a solid grounding in the principles of how research is conducted.
8) What does NIH expect from the institution running the program?
Because the award is institutional, successful applications generally need to show the organization has the mentoring capacity, research infrastructure, and a training plan necessary to operate a high-quality short-term program. The proposed training focus should also match the priorities of the relevant NIH Institute or Center participating in the opportunity.
9) Who is eligible to apply for this opportunity?
