NIMH encourages innovative Institutional Training Grant (T32) applications to support research training programs within the research areas and research priorities supported by the Institute. Research training programs are designed to allow the Program Director/Principal Investigator (Training PD/PI) to select the trainees (predoctoral and/or postdoctoral fellows) and develop a curriculum of study and research experiences necessary to provide high quality research training.
PDs/PIs are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate NIMH Research Training and Career Development representative well in advance of the receipt deadline to discuss their institution’s application plans.
