Limited Submission Funding Opportunity: NLM Institutional Grants for Research Training in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science
URL: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-LM-21-001
OBJECTIVES:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites training grant applications for support of predoctoral and postdoctoral training for research careers in biomedical informatics and data science. Applications may be for the creation of entirely new programs or for the renewal of existing NLM training programs. Such training helps meet the growing need for investigators trained in biomedical computing, data science and related information fields as they directly relate to application domains in health and biomedicine, including health care delivery, basic biomedical research, clinical and translational research, public health surveillance, consumer health and similar areas.
This FOA does not allow appointed Trainees to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow them to obtain research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
FUNDING INFORMATION:
NLM intends to commit $12,000,000 in FY 2022 to fund up to 16 awards.
Application budgets are not limited, but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
ELIGIBILITY RESTRICTIONS:
This FOA does not require cost sharing as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
