Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Individual Fellowship for Students at Institutions with NIH-Funded Institutional Predoctoral Dual-Degree Training Programs (Parent F30)

The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) is offering an Individual Fellowship for Students that attends Institutions with NIH-Funded Institutional Predoctoral Dual-Degree Training Programs. This funding opportunity is made specifically for students who are pursuing a dual-doctoral degree like MD/PhD, DO/PhD, DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD and are aspiring to have a career as a physician or clinician-scientist.

The aim of this fellowship is to boost the conjoined research and clinical training of these selected predoctoral students. These students must present a joined research and clinical training plan and also a dissertation research project in scientific health-related fields that are relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.

The experience from this fellowship will enhance the students' potential to become more productive and independent as a physician or clinician-scientist. This funding opportunity does not permit the students to lead an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial. However, it does allow the students to propose a research experience in a clinical trial that is directed by a sponsor or co-sponsor.
