Institutional training programs support research training for clinician-scientists in four clinically relevant research areas within the mission of NIGMS: anesthesiology; clinical pharmacology; medical genetics; and injury and critical illness. Trainees receive at least 2 years of research training in basic, clinical and/or translational science areas and engage in activities to promote research career development.

The IRACDA program provides support for a mentored postdoctoral research experience at a research-intensive institution combined with an opportunity to develop critical teaching and mentoring skills at a teaching-intensive partner institution with a diverse student population. Accordingly, the IRACDA program requires effective partnerships between a research-intensive institution and a teaching-intensive partner institution that has a historical mission or a demonstrated commitment to educating students in the biomedical research workforce.

The goal of this program is to shorten and facilitate the transition from a postdoctoral researcher to an independent investigator capable of leading a research team. The strategy is to support highly promising postdoctoral researchers in 2-year mentored research positions followed by 3 years of independent research support when the grantee obtains an independent position.

The goal of the MOSAIC Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity (K99/R00) program is to facilitate a timely transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds from their mentored postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent research-intensive faculty positions. The program is designed to support postdoctoral researchers who have demonstrated meaningful contributions and proposed compelling future plans to promote broad participation in the biomedical research workforce, such as activities that promote inclusive, supportive, and accessible biomedical research environments that support the success of trainees and scientists from all backgrounds.
PAR-24-224; Kenneth Gibbs
The goal of the MOSAIC Research Education Award (UE5) is to support educational activities for MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars that will equip them with the professional skills, and provide them with the appropriate mentoring opportunities and professional networks to allow them to transition into, advance, and succeed in independent, tenure-track or equivalent research-intensive faculty careers.

The K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist and the K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research awards support individuals with M.D. degrees through mentored research career development experiences in anesthesiology, clinical pharmacology, Innate Immunity and Inflammation, Sepsis, Injury and Critical Illness. The K25 Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award supports investigators from quantitative science and engineering disciplines who seek to focus on questions of health and disease.
NIGMS supports mentored Research Career Development Awards for postdoctoral and faculty investigators. This decision tree will help to determine which award is appropriate for postdoctoral or faculty investigator career development and eligibility for each.
PA-23-263; Anissa J. Brown
These fellowships are intended to support experienced investigators seeking opportunities to undertake short periods of mentored research training that will allow them to redirect, revitalize or restart a research program upon returning to their home institutions.

The ReWARD program supports scientists who are making a significant contribution to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) — providing funding for both the scientific research and the DEIA activities of investigators. The NIGMS ReWARD program funds scientific research in areas related to the programmatic interests of NIGMS and ongoing DEIA activities focused on enhancing diversity in the biomedical research enterprise within the United States and territories.

Program aims to promote broad participation in biomedical research by supporting Resource-Limited Institutions (RLIs) to conduct research, enhance their research environments, and increase sponsored programs administration capacity. The BRE-SPAD program is designed to support the needs of organizations that are in different stages of biomedical research capacity building.

The IPERT program supports creative and innovative research educational activities designed to complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical research needs. Each IPERT program must address the NIGMS goals of developing a highly skilled and diverse biomedical workforce.
PAR-24-040 and NOT-GM-24-039; Joyce Stamm; Kalynda Gonzales Stokes
This program is intended to enable and encourage the scientific community to create and disseminate training modules that will effectively contribute to the advancement of the biomedical research workforce.

The goal of NIGMS is to support innovative projects that could benefit the research communities related to its mission. The Division of Training and Workforce Development supports the development technologies and tools to enhance the research skills of post-high school individuals in the biomedical research workforce pathway, or to increase the efficiencies of NIGMS research training programs.
PAR-24-230; Shakira Nelson; Joyce Stamm
The goal of the B-INSPIRE (PAR-24-230) research program is to support research to test interventions to enhance research-oriented individuals' interest, motivation, persistence, and preparedness for careers in the biomedical research workforce. Funded projects are expected to produce research findings that will guide the implementation of interventions in a variety of academic settings and career levels to enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce.

This program employs the research project grant as the platform for intensive mentored research experiences within the scope of the grant during the continuum from high school to the faculty level.
NOT-OD-23-170; Shakira Nelson
This program employs the research project grant as the platform for intensive, mentored research experiences that facilitate re-entry and the establishment of a full-time, independent research career for individuals at the postdoctoral or early faculty level who have high potential to re-enter an active research career after taking time off to care for children or parents or to attend to other family responsibilities.
NOT-OD-23-031; NOT-OD-23-032; Shakira Nelson
This supplement opportunity is for career development (K) or first-time research project grant (RPG) awardees whose progress is likely to be hindered by a critical life event such as childbirth, adoption, or primary caregiving responsibility for an ailing immediate family member.
