The Department of Medicine is committed to training the next generation of students and fellows interested in basic science, biomedical and clinical investigation.
Please remember the following information about training and career development grants: Training grants include T32 and TL1 grants, which are institutional grants. The Department of Medicine recruits trainees such as predocs, postdocs, and summer or short-term trainees for research training. T32 grants provide stipends and research expenses, as well as budget for travel and necessary tuition for research training.
Career development grants include K12 and KL2 grants, which are also institutional and support multiple postdocs or junior faculty.
Both institutional K and T grants are awarded to a senior PI, with these programs recruiting trainees for support. On the other hand, individual grants are submitted directly to NIH by trainees and junior faculty, and are awarded to the PI submitting the grant for their specific research projects.
The following tables itemize the training program grants available across the Department.
