Opportunity Summary:
The Short Term Institutional Training Grant for Clinician Scientists in Pediatric Respiratory, Sleep and Hematology/Transfusion Medicine (T35) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA HL 12 017) is a discretionary NIH grant program designed to strengthen short-term research training for the next generation of clinician-scientists. Its central aim is to develop and expand structured research experiences in either basic science or clinical research specifically focused on pediatric respiratory medicine, pediatric sleep medicine, and pediatric hematology and transfusion medicine. The program is geared toward creating meaningful, supervised training opportunities that help medical and other health professional students build research skills, gain exposure to rigorous investigative methods, and develop early interest in research careers within these pediatric subspecialties.
The opportunity was posted and created on April 5, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2011, and an archive date of July 15, 2011. NIH indicated an estimated total funding level of $300,000 for the opportunity. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicant institutions are not required to contribute a mandatory portion of project costs as a condition of the award.
Eligible applicants are institutions and organizations that can run an institutional training program, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a range of nonprofit entities (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, other than institutions of higher education where applicable). The eligibility list also explicitly includes a variety of mission-driven and minority-serving organizations 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 faith-based or community-based organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions and multiple categories of tribal governments and tribal organizations. Foreign organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed under this announcement.
From a subject-matter standpoint, the funding activity aligns with NIH health research priorities and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research) and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). In practical terms, this positions the program at the intersection of pediatric lung and sleep-related conditions and pediatric blood disorders and transfusion practices, with the common thread being research training rather than direct service delivery. The emphasis on clinician-scientist development suggests the training environment is expected to support students in learning how to ask clinically relevant questions, engage with research design and analysis, and work closely with experienced mentors in laboratory-based or patient-oriented research settings.
Administrative support and technical assistance for accessing the full announcement were routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts, and the full solicitation was provided via the NIH grants guide link included in the announcement.
