To address the critical need for clinician scientists with the medical training and research experience to investigate problems of environmentally relevant disease in humans, NIEHS supports Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual National Research Service Award Fellowships for M.D./Ph.D. students. Awards provide an annual stipend, an offset of a portion of the tuition and fees, and a research allowance for a period of up to six years. Applicants must be enrolled in a formally combined M.D./Ph.D. program, propose to pursue research in clinical or basic environmental health sciences, and be supervised by a mentor with appropriate scientific research experience when the application is submitted. For the purposes of this award, environmental health is defined as the area of medicine concerned with the development and application of knowledge directed at the etiology, diagnosis, pathophysiological progression, treatment, and prevention of adverse effects from environmental factors. At the time of the award, individuals must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or permanent residents.
There are two separate announcements for this fellowship program:
- PA-21-049: F30 Individual Fellowship for Students at Institutions with NIH-Funded Institutional Predoctoral Dual-Degree Training Programs
- PA-21-050: F30 for Individual Fellowship for Students at Institutions Without NIH-Funded Institutional Predoctoral Dual-Degree Training Programs
