We’re hosting a virtual question-and-answer “office hour” on Monday, December 16, for the Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE; PAR-24-032) and Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD; PAR-24-031) T32 training programs.

The goals of these programs are to strengthen research training environments and promote broader participation of scientists earning Ph.D. degrees in the biomedical research workforce.

Next application due date: January 29, 2025

During the meeting, we’ll provide a brief update on the G-RISE/IMSD funding opportunities, including how updates to NIH training grant applications will impact the next receipt date, and answer your programmatic and budget questions. Those interested in joining the office hour are strongly encouraged to review the 2023 webinar for G-RISE/IMSD applicants and companion slide deck [PDF] beforehand.

Participants requiring sign language interpretation and/or other reasonable accommodations should submit a request using our contact form at least 5 days prior to the event. Note this is a live event that will not be recorded.
