The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Institutional Network Award aimed at promoting research training in kidney, urologic, and hematologic fields. This initiative seeks to support institutions in developing a robust network to engage and train the next generation of researchers through innovative outreach and career development activities, with each institution eligible to apply for a single award to support at least five trainee slots. The total estimated funding for this program is $4 million, with an award ceiling of $2.1 million, and the NIH anticipates making approximately eight awards. Interested applicants can reach out to Dr. Tracy Rankin at rankint@niddk.nih.gov or (301) 594-4748 for further information, with the estimated synopsis post date set for July 5, 2025, and applications expected to be solicited by October 5, 2025.
