The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the NINDS Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) aimed at supporting promising candidates through mentored postdoctoral training in neurological research. This funding program (F32) encourages applications from individuals within 12 months prior to or after starting a postdoctoral position, emphasizing innovative research ideas without preliminary data. Funded projects should focus on significant scientific questions to enhance the candidates' development as independent researchers, supported by rigorous training and strong mentorship. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions and small businesses, with an emphasis on supporting underrepresented groups. The program covers stipends, tuition, and fees for a maximum of three years. The application process involves detailed submission requirements via Grants.gov and adherence to NIH guidelines. The review criteria involve evaluating the candidate's preparedness, the research training plan's rigor, and the commitment of sponsors. The announcement outlines key dates for application submissions, and the program's ultimate goal is to promote training in basic, translational, and clinical neuroscience to advance the NIH's mission in neurological disorders.
