Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral MD/PhD and Other Dual Doctoral Degree Fellows (F30)
|
|
Description
|
Grant Amounts: Unspecified.
The objective of NIH-supported Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA) programs is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.
The purpose of the F30 award is to support individual predoctoral MD/PhD and other dual doctoral degree students with the expectation that these training opportunities will increase the number of future physician and clinician investigators in basic, translational or clinical research.
The enormous complexity of biomedical, behavioral, and clinical science today prevents the standard course of study at most medical and other health professional schools from providing the experience necessary to develop researchers. Integrated curricula that combine training for the MD or other health professional degree (e.g., DO, DDS, AuD) with extensive research experience leading to a second advanced degree have been developed because individuals who are both physicians/clinicians and trained scientists play a vital role in basic biomedical, translational, clinical, behavioral, epidemiologic, prevention, and services research. There is a critical need for physician and clinician-scientists to study human disease through rigorous research.
It is expected that the research training experience will provide:
(1) A strong foundation in research design, methods, and analytic techniques appropriate to the proposed dissertation research;
(2) The development or enhancement of the applicant's ability to conceptualize and think through research problems with increasing independence;
(3) Experience in conducting, presenting, and publishing independent research;
(4) The opportunity to interact with members of the scientific community at appropriate scientific meetings and workshops (including NIH-sponsored meetings, where available); and
(5) A well-conceived career plan to increase the applicant's ability to secure federal support for his/her research.
