At a glance
This program supports mentored postdoctoral research training for promising individuals through the Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (Parent F32). Applicants must have a sponsor and sponsoring organization, and the fellowship is for new, renewal, or resubmission applications that do not propose an independent clinical trial. The award provides stipends, tuition and fees, and an institutional allowance, but the notice does not state a fixed dollar amount or number of awards; support can last up to 3 years at the postdoctoral level. No cost sharing is required, and foreign organizations, foreign components, and non-U.S. training can be eligible when scientifically justified.
