TRAINING PROGRAMS, FELLOWSHIPS and CAREER TRANSITION AWARDS: Institutional Training Grants promote the research career training of talented persons who seek academic careers in biomedical informatics research, bioinformatics, and applied informatics. A competition for Institutional Training Grants is announced every five years; Institutional Training support may be at the pre- or post-doctoral level and may be awarded to academic health scientists well qualified to conduct the proposed training activities. Training sites are expected to have well established computer facilities, strong informatics research and education programs, experienced faculty and staff committed to research in the field of biomedical computing and/or bioinformatics, and available courses or experience in computer science, information science, and cognitive sciences. Institutional grants provide trainee stipends, tuition and fees, travel, and certain institutional support costs. Individual Fellowships for cross-training of Information specialists to work in scientific and biomedical contexts (Informationist training)are at the pre-doctoral level, using published stipend levels that are updated each year. NIH Pathway to Independence Career Development awards are for investigators who are making the transition to their first research positions. These grants can last up to 5 years and include mentored and unmentored periods, for which the stipends differ. Research supplement awards are also offered to promote diversity in health-related informatics research, and to promote re-entry into informatics careers. NLM participates in the NIH Loan Repayment Award program. These awards are available to those who qualify and will commit to two years of clinical informatics research. Detailed information about NLM's training programs and specifics of support amounts and scope of fellowship, career transition and loan repayment awards can be found on the agency's web site at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/ep/. vel, as justified by the nature and scope of the project. Institutional Training Grants and Fellowships promote the research career training of talented persons who seek academic careers in medical informatics research and applied informatics. Availability of Institutional Training Grants is announced occasionally. Institutional Training support may be at the pre- or post-doctoral level and may be awarded to academic health scientists well qualified to conduct the proposed training activities. Training sites are expected to have well established computer facilities, strong research and education programs, experienced faculty and staff committed to health computer science research, and available courses or experience in computer science, information science, and cognitive sciences. Institutional grants provide trainee stipends, tuition and fees, travel, and certain institutional support costs. Individual fellowships for Research Career Training in Medical Informatics and Applied Informatics are at the pre - and post-doctoral level. Fellowships for training in the Application of Informatics are also available, with salary replacement stipends up to $58,000 per annum. SBIR Phase I grants (of approximately 6-months' duration) are to establish the technical merit and feasibility of a proposed research effort that may lead to a commercial product or process. Phase II grants are for the continuation of the research initiated in Phase I and that are likely to result in commercial products or processes. Only Phase I awardees are eligible to receive Phase II support. STTR Phase I grants (normally of 1-year duration) are to determine the scientific, technical, and commercial merit and feasibility of the proposed cooperative effort that has potential for commercial application. Phase II funding is based on results of research initiated in Phase I and scientific and technical merit and commercial potential on Phase II application. |
