Administrative Supplements for Physician-Scientists
The NIMH provides a supplement program to provide funds to research projects to support advanced research experiences of exceptional individuals holding the M.D./Ph.D. degree early in their research careers (see note on eligibility below). The goal of this program is to provide opportunities for M.D./Ph.D.-trained individuals to continue to conduct research and enhance their research skill set while completing clinical training, i.e., during the years of residency and clinical fellowship. Support through this administrative supplement program is expected to enhance the scientific and professional development of the individuals, speed their transition to research independence as physician-scientists, and contribute to scientific knowledge that advances the mission of the NIMH.
