The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a funding opportunity entitled the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Fellowship (Parent F30), aimed at supporting predoctoral students at institutions lacking NIH-funded dual-degree training programs. This fellowship encourages integration of clinical and research training for candidates enrolled in MD/PhD or other dual-doctoral degree programs such as DO/PhD and DDS/PhD. The F30 program facilitates the development of physician/clinician-scientists by requiring candidates to submit an integrated research training project aligned with the goals of participating NIH Institutes. Fellowship candidates must propose a comprehensive training plan, engage in rigorous research methods, and gain clinical experience. The program supports up to six years of funding, covering stipends, tuition, and associated allowances while requiring a full-time commitment to research. Key eligibility criteria include prior enrollment in a dual-degree program, identification of a research project and sponsor, and at least 50% of the award period dedicated to research training. Applications are subject to stringent submission protocols through Grants.gov and must adhere to specific NIH guidelines. This initiative reflects NIH's commitment to enhancing the professional pipeline of clinician-scientists critical for addressing biomedical and clinical research needs in the U.S.
