T32 Training Program for Institutions That Promote Diversity (T32)
(Postdoctoral
Individuals)
This program provides training to postdoctoral individuals
enrolled at non-research intensive institutions with an institutional mission focused on serving minority and other health disparity populations not well represented in scientific research, or institutions that have been identified by federal legislation as having an institutional mission focused on these populations, with the potential
to develop meritorious research training programs in cardiovascular,
pulmonary, or hematologic diseases, and sleep disorders. These
individuals should be in the developmental stages of their
career.
The institution that promotes diversity may choose to identify and collaborate with a research
center (medical school or comparable institution) that has
strong, well-established cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorders research and research training programs.
The research center opens its facilities to the postdoctoral individual
and provides a mentor to work with the individual's adviser
at the institution.
At the time of appointment, individuals must have a doctoral
or equivalent degree in a biomedical or behavioral science.
A strong career interest in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic,
or sleep disorders research must be evident. They must be
U.S. citizens, noncitizen nationals, or legal permanent residents
of the U.S.
