Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Research Training in Aging for Medical Students (T35) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AG-15-009) is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to support short-term research training experiences for medical students, with a specific focus on aging-related science aligned with the mission of the National Institute on Aging (NIA). The core purpose of this program is to reach students early in their medical education and give them a meaningful, structured exposure to research so they are more likely to pursue long-term careers as physician-scientists or clinician-researchers. The opportunity emphasizes research areas important to NIA and is meant to grow the national pipeline of physicians who engage in biomedical, clinical, and health services research relevant to aging and older adults.
At a high level, the program supports organized summer training efforts rather than isolated, one-off student projects. In practical terms, institutions use this type of award to place medical students into mentored research experiences over a short period (typically a summer), where students can participate in basic science projects, clinical research, or health services research tied to aging. The intent is career-shaping: it is meant to provide early research immersion, mentorship, and skills development that can influence specialty choices and encourage later pursuit of research training pathways (for example, research fellowships, combined clinical-research careers, or future NIH funding).
This funding opportunity was posted on July 17, 2014, with an original and current application closing date of October 30, 2014, and an archive date of November 30, 2014. The total estimated funding amount listed is $1,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $1,000,000. The activity is categorized under Health, with CFDA number 93.866 (Aging Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally means applicants are not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicant organizations, spanning public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, state and local governments (including county and city or township governments), independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also identifies additional eligible applicant categories 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 Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and certain eligible federal agencies. At the same time, it clearly restricts foreign participation: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, with NIA as the institute whose mission areas define the research emphasis. The announcement includes an additional information link to the NIH Grants Guide page for the full solicitation text (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-15-009.html).
