    The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is offering a funding opportunity titled "T32 Training Program to Promote Broad Participation," aimed at enhancing the participation of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research. This program supports institutions that focus on training predoctoral and postdoctoral students, particularly those serving health disparity populations, by providing stipends, tuition, and training-related expenses for a maximum project period of five years. The initiative is critical for fostering diversity in biomedical research and improving health outcomes for underserved communities, while allowing trainees to gain experience in clinical trials under mentorship, without leading independent trials themselves. Interested applicants can find more information and guidelines at the provided NIH link, with applications due by September 14, 2026.

    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and specifically the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is issuing a funding opportunity aimed at enhancing training for underrepresented groups in biomedical research. The T32 Training Program promotes diversity by providing institutional support for predoctoral and postdoctoral training at institutions historically focused on educating these populations and offering clinical services to groups facing health disparities. The program seeks to foster research in heart, lung, blood diseases, and sleep disorders. Funding is available for a maximum project period of five years, with stipends, tuition, and training-related expenses covered under NIH guidelines. Eligible organizations include U.S. higher education institutions with significant Pell Grant enrollment and limited prior NIH funding. Applications must align with the NHLBI’s focus on capacity building in research areas and trainee support mechanisms. Importantly, the program supports research training without allowing trainees to lead independent clinical trials but permits them to engage in sponsored trials for experience. The application process requires adherence to strict guidelines, emphasizing the establishment of robust mentoring relationships and a commitment to diversity.
