Opportunity Summary:
The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA) for Individual Predoctoral Fellows in PharmD/PhD Programs (F31) is an NIH discretionary grant opportunity designed to support promising students who are pursuing a combined PharmD/PhD and are at the stage of conducting their PhD dissertation research. The central goal of the fellowship is research training: it provides dedicated support so a fellow can build strong scientific skills, deepen their expertise in a relevant biomedical area, and complete rigorous dissertation work while developing into an independent researcher. This particular F31 is targeted specifically to trainees in PharmD/PhD programs, reflecting NIH interest in cultivating scientists who can bridge advanced clinical pharmacy training with high-level biomedical research.
The fellowship supports dissertation research and an accompanying training plan in scientific areas that align with the missions of three NIH components: NIGMS (National Institute of General Medical Sciences), NICHD (Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development), and ODS (Office of Dietary Supplements). In practical terms, that means proposed research should fit within the kinds of fundamental biomedical, developmental, reproductive, pediatric, or dietary supplement related questions these NIH units prioritize. The opportunity is meant to fund the fellow as an individual trainee rather than fund an institution for a broad training program, so the application typically emphasizes the candidate's potential, the quality and feasibility of the research project, the mentorship and training environment, and how the proposed experiences will prepare the applicant for a research career.
This funding opportunity was issued by the National Institutes of Health under Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-129. It uses the grant funding instrument and is categorized under Health, Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA numbers 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility, as listed in the announcement, is broad across organizational types and includes public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities that are not institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and additional categories referenced in the announcement text. The announcement also explicitly calls out several institution types as eligible, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and eligible federal agencies. While the fellowship is an individual award aimed at a predoctoral fellow, these organizational eligibility listings generally reflect the types of applicant organizations that may submit or administer the grant on behalf of the fellow under NIH rules.
Key dates in the record show the opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2014, and an archive date of June 7, 2014. This indicates the specific announcement is no longer active in the form provided, but the details remain useful for understanding the intent and structure of this particular NRSA F31 pathway for PharmD/PhD trainees and for locating the archived program guidance.
