Opportunity Summary:
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (F31) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity administered through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), now part of NIH's complementary and integrative health portfolio. Its purpose is to support promising predoctoral researchers who are preparing for careers as independent investigators focused on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) research. The fellowship is structured as an individual training award, meaning it is designed to fund and develop a specific trainee (the fellow) rather than to support a broader institutional training program.
The central goal of this opportunity is workforce development: building a strong and diverse pipeline of highly trained scientists who can contribute to the national biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research agenda in CAM. In practical terms, the fellowship aims to provide protected time, research training, mentorship, and professional development so that the awardee can gain the skills and experience needed to become a productive, independent researcher. The program emphasizes the importance of having enough well-prepared investigators working in the right areas to advance evidence-based understanding of complementary and alternative approaches within health and medicine.
Eligibility is oriented toward students who have already demonstrated commitment and capacity for doctoral-level research training. Applicants must have earned at least a bachelors degree (BA or BS) and must be enrolled at the time of application in a doctoral research program or a formally combined and accredited professional doctorate/research doctorate program, such as an MD/PhD, in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences. The opportunity listing indicates a broad range of eligible applicant organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (with distinctions noted in the listing), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. It also explicitly states that foreign institutions are eligible to apply and that eligible federal government agencies may apply, which is notable because many NIH funding opportunities restrict foreign institutional applications.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a grant within the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to receive the award. The funding opportunity number is PAR-07-384. The announcement was originally posted on June 13, 2007, and it used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, directing applicants to the full announcement for the specific submission schedule. The record shows a current closing date of July 2, 2009 and an archive date of July 3, 2009, indicating the announcement is now historical rather than active, though similar NRSA F31 opportunities may exist under updated NIH notices or mechanisms.
For anyone trying to understand the exact application requirements, training expectations, allowable costs, review criteria, and submission dates, the official full announcement is referenced via the NIH Grants Guide link: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-384.html. The listing also provides technical contact information through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for issues accessing or linking to the announcement.
