Interdisciplinary Health Research Training: Behavior, Environment and Biology: The Institutes, Centers and Offices of the National Institutes of Health invite applications for Interdisciplinary Health Research Training: Behavior, Environment and Biology. This institutional, postdoctoral National Research Training Award (NRSA) will support the establishment of programs that provide formal coursework and research training in a new interdisciplinary field to individuals holding advanced degrees in a different discipline. These training programs are required to include a behavioral or social science discipline, and we are especially interested in programs that integrate the behavioral and/or social sciences with the more traditional biomedical sciences. We encourage the development of programs that accept postdoctoral trainees with varied research backgrounds, provide multiple tracks of research training that enhance each trainees development of new, interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, while supporting opportunities for trainee interaction and research integration across the research tracks. The overall goal of NRSA training programs is to ensure that highly trained scientists will be available in adequate numbers and in appropriate scientific areas to carry out the Nations biomedical and behavioral health research agenda. Many of our most pressing health problems involve disease processes that are influenced by biological, behavioral, and social environment factors. The purpose of this NRSA program is to help ensure the development of a cadre of scientists with the requisite skills and knowledge to integrate multiple scientific approaches and to work in interdisciplinary research teams to solve these complex health problems.
