NRSA Individual Predoctoral Fellowships to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (F31)

Program Contacts: Dr. Jeremy McIntyre or Dr. Joyce Stamm.

Effective April 9th, 2024, NIGMS will no longer participate in the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Predoctoral Fellowship to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research F31 (PA-23-271) (see NOT-GM-24-013).

To replace our participation in the program, we have spearheaded the Advancing Research Careers (ARC) (F99/K00), a new multi-Institute and Center (IC) effort to support promising, late-stage graduate students from diverse backgrounds, for example those from underrepresented groups (see Notice of NIH's Interest in Diversity), to transition into and succeed in mentored postdoctoral research positions. Graduate students who require at least 1-2 years of predoctoral research training and are interested in pursuing mentored postdoctoral research and career development activities are encouraged to apply to the new ARC program.​ For more information about ARC, see PAR-23-222 and contact Dr. Laurie Stepanek for technical assistance.
