The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity." This grant aims to enhance the participation of individuals from nationally underrepresented backgrounds in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research. The program provides support to institutions that promote diversity and have a mission focused on serving health disparity populations.
The T32 Training Program is a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Program that supports the training of predoctoral and health professional students, as well as individuals in postdoctoral training institutions. These institutions are uniquely positioned to engage minority and other health disparity populations in research, translation, and implementation of research advances that impact health outcomes.
It is important to note that appointed trainees under this grant are not allowed to lead an independent clinical trial. However, they are permitted to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
