New Opportunities
B-INSPIRE (Research on Behavioral INterventionS That Promote Careers In the Biomedical Research Enterprise: NIGMS is encouraging "applications that propose research designed to conduct studies of behavioral interventions to enhance research-oriented individuals' interest, motivation, persistence and preparedness for careers in the biomedical research workforce." Applications proposing analysis of existing datasets or novel approaches to integration of existing datasets are also encouraged. Funded projects are expected to enhance the diversity of the biomedical research workforce. More information is available through the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO.) This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP.) Upcoming application dues dates: October 17, 2024, October 15, 2025, October 14, 2026
Federal Agencies
NIH Grants & Funding: A searchable database maintained by the NIH Office of Extramural Research on currently available biomedical research funding and training opportunities related to human health and diseases. Notice of Funding Opportunity of particular interest for pharmacy include:
- The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) T32: "The goal of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of well-trained clinician-scientist leaders available to address the nation’s biomedical research needs. Specifically, this funding announcement provides support to eligible, domestic organizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to dual-degree training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise and lead to the completion of both a clinical degree (for example, M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D., etc.) and a research doctorate degree (Ph.D.)." Upcoming due dates: September 25, 2024, January 25, 2025
- NIH Loan Repayment Programs: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRP) were established by Congress to recruit and retain health professionals in biomedical and behavioral research careers. The LRPs repay up to $50,000 annually of a researchers qualified educational debt "in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research." Research areas include clinical research, pediatric research, health disparities research, contraception and infertility research, clinical research for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and research in emerging areas critical to human health. More information is available on the LRP application page. The next LRP application deadline for new applications is September 1, 2024.
