Training in Translational Research in Neurobiology of Disease (T32): - This RFA is an initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov), a trans-NIH partnership to accelerate neuroscience research. Fifteen Institutes and Centers are participating in the Neuroscience Blueprint. This RFA will be administered by NIDA on behalf of the Neuroscience Blueprint. - The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grants (T32) to eligible institutions to support research trainees in translational neurobiology of disease. Four types of full-time trainees may be supported: 1) Predoctoral Trainees in a neuroscience-oriented PhD or equivalent doctoral degree program; 2) Trainees in an accredited MD/PhD program at a medical school who will receive both an MD, DO, DDS, or equivalent professional degree and a PhD; 3) Short-Term Research Training for Health-Professional Students; and 4) Postdoctoral Trainees with research or clinical doctoral degrees to prepare for a research career in translational neuroscience. - Applicant institutions may tailor their proposed program with a mix of trainee types with various levels of research experience. However, training programs are strongly encouraged to include concurrent training of both basic and clinical researchers. The proposed training programs must be thematic, focusing not upon a specific disease but upon mechanisms that may be shared by a number of diseases and disorders and must include training in the progression of disease from molecules to behavior, to prevention or treatment.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant
Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Private institutions of higher education Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility
Although foreign institutions are not eligible to apply as the applicant organization, such institutions may participate in this funding opportunity as a consortium organization. When other sites are involved in the training program, the application must include a resource format page for each site. Also, a complete description of any foreign participation must be included and fully justified to meet requirements for foreign training. An eligible institution (e.g., a university) may submit only a single application in response to this funding opportunity. For the purposes of this RFA, components of a large or multi-component organization that are sufficiently independent to constitute, in effect, separate organizations are considered separate institutions. For example, the multiple campuses of the University of California system are considered separate institutions. However, the medical school, engineering school, dental school, etc., of a university, even if on different campuses, constitute a single institution. Multiple applications from different divisions, faculties, schools, centers, etc. at the same institution will not be reviewed. The applicant institution must have strong research and training (graduate and postdoctoral) programs in the neurosciences, and must have the staff and available and adequate facilities required to conduct the proposed training program. Some staff and facilities may be made through consortium arrangements. The research training Program Director or Program Director Team at the applicant institution must be responsible for the recruitment, selection, direction, and evaluation of trainees to receive support and for the overall direction of the training program.
