Minority Institutional Research Training Program (T32): -Purpose. The NHLBI's Minority Institutional Research Training Program is a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Program intended to support training of predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training at minority schools having the potential to develop meritorious training programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders. Predoctoral and health professional students and individuals in postdoctoral training in minority schools need further opportunities to develop biomedical and behavioral research skills. The NHLBI Minority Institutional Research Training Program is designed to attract students in their developmental stages; to increase their awareness of cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders research; and to encourage them to pursue research career opportunities in these areas. Trainee appointments will be determined by the institution and carried out in a manner that will include the recruitment of racial and ethnic minorities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, individuals with disabilities, and women into heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders scientific research areas. -Mechanism of Support.
