NIGMS funds predoctoral Institutional National Research Service Awards once a year on July 1. We strongly recommend that institutions with existing NIGMS-funded predoctoral T32 training grant program who are planning to submit a new (PAR-20-213 for basic biomedical sciences or PAR-21-189 for medical scientists training program) application do so at least one year, but preferably one and a half years, before the current grant is scheduled to terminate. Thus, if your grant is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2023, you should submit a competing renewal or new application, as applicable, on September 25, 2021, or January 25, 2022, but no later than May 25, 2022. This will ensure that if the Institute is able to consider your application for funding, there would be no interruption of support for your program. We advise applicants not to wait until the September 25, 2022, receipt date, since most of the NIGMS research training budget will have been committed by the time applications for this receipt date are reviewed.
Noncompeting Applications (Progress Reports or RPPR) for Predoctoral T32 Training Grants are due November 15.
