Opportunity Summary:
The Scholars Training for the Advancement of Research (STAR) opportunity is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) that supports an institutional research training goal: increasing the pipeline of nurse scientists who are ready for interdisciplinary careers in clinical or basic research. Rather than creating a brand-new training grant, this announcement is specifically a competitive revision to existing NINR-funded T32 institutional training grants. In practical terms, NINR is asking current T32 awardee institutions to revise and expand what they already have in place by adding a fast-track, highly integrated training pathway aimed at accelerating the development of future nursing science researchers.
The focus of the program is an innovative, integrated interdisciplinary BSN-to-PhD model. The intent is to support the rapid progression of up to two trainees (students) through a training structure that tightly connects nursing education with rigorous, research-intensive PhD preparation. NINR emphasizes that the program design must be genuinely distinctive and forward-looking, not just a standard training experience relabeled as “interdisciplinary.” Applicants are expected to show, through the way the program is built and delivered, that trainees will gain exposure to highly innovative and cutting-edge research approaches, along with substantive interdisciplinary training experiences that prepare them to lead or contribute meaningfully to complex research teams.
This opportunity is geared toward students with outstanding credentials who are finishing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), as well as individuals who were originally trained in another discipline but intend to pursue a research career in nursing science. The underlying idea is to attract and move high-potential candidates quickly into doctoral-level research preparation, while ensuring they receive broad, integrated training that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. The overall outcome NINR is pushing for is a stronger workforce of nurse scientists equipped to conduct research that spans clinical and basic science perspectives and that can tackle health problems using interdisciplinary methods.
Eligibility is limited and tightly defined. Only U.S.-based institutions that already hold an active NINR-funded T32 institutional training grant and that have at least two years remaining on that grant from the expected start date are eligible to apply for this competitive revision. Foreign institutions are not eligible, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. Foreign components, as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement, are also not permitted under this announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the education and health activity areas and is associated with CFDA 93.361 (Nursing Research). The funding opportunity number is RFA-NR-11-011, and the title is “Scholars Training for the Advancement of Research (STAR) Competitive Revision to NINR T32 Training Grants (T32).” The posting date was September 7, 2011, with an original closing date of November 21, 2011, later updated to November 28, 2011, and an archive date of December 29, 2011. For full details, NINR directed applicants to the NIH Grants Guide announcement page, and the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact was provided for access or linking issues.
