This funding opportunity consists of two phases: a mentored intramural phase lasting up to two years, followed by a three-year extramural phase, contingent upon the awardee's successful progress as evaluated by NHLBI. The program is designed to foster diverse scientific talent and encourages applications from a wide range of educational and nonprofit institutions, with specific recruitment goals for underrepresented groups. Interested applicants should note that the application deadline is October 12, 2024, and funding is capped at $249,000 annually for the extramural phase.
