The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity through the T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity, aimed at enhancing the participation of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research. This program supports institutions with a mission focused on serving health disparity populations, providing funding for up to five years to develop comprehensive training environments that foster diverse participation and collaboration among predoctoral and health professional students, as well as postdoctoral trainees. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to diversity, responsible research conduct, and effective mentorship strategies, with applications due by September 14, 2026. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visit the additional information link at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-24-199.html.

The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to enhance training opportunities for underrepresented students at institutions focusing on health disparities through the NHLBI T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity. Eligible institutions include those with documented missions supporting diverse populations and lacking substantial NIH funding, with awards available for a maximum of five years without allowing appointed trainees to lead independent clinical trials. The program encourages interdisciplinary training and aims to prepare diverse trainees for research careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic diseases while fostering strong mentoring relationships.

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to enhance the participation of individuals from nationally underrepresented backgrounds to enhance the participation of individuals from nationally underrepresented backgrounds in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep disorders research across the career development continuum by providing support to institutions that promote diversity. The NHLBI&apos;s T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity is a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Program intended to support training of predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training institutions with an institutional mission focused on serving health disparity populations not well represented in scientific research, or institutions that have been identified by federal legislation as having an institutional mission focused on these populations, with the potential to develop meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic diseases, and sleep disorders. 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, as well as provide health care for these populations. This NOFO does not allow appointed trainees to lead an independent clinical trial but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
