Jointly Sponsored NIH Predoctoral Training
Program in the Neurosciences
Sponsoring Institutes NIA, NICHD, NIDCD, NIDCR,
NIDA, NEI, NIGMS, NIMH, NINDS, NINR Program
Objective To encourage and support broad,
early-stage (pre-thesis) training in the
neurosciences by offering institutions a single
comprehensive training grant. It is expected
that these training programs will contribute to
basic and disease-related neuroscience research
that is relevant to the participating NIH
Institutes.

Institutional Research Training Programs
Increasing Diversity
Sponsoring Institutes NIMH, NIDA, NINDS Program
Objective To significantly increase the number
of minority scientists trained to conduct
research in mental health, mental illness, drug
abuse and neurological sciences. The intent is
to provide support for national or regional
programs to recruit, train, and retain
underrepresented minorities in outstanding
graduate and postdoctoral programs across the
nation.

Specialized Center Cooperative Agreements (U54)

• Augment and strengthen research capabilities of
  faculty, students, and fellows at minority
  institutions. Four programmatic goals
• Assist researchers in developing state-of-the-art
  neuroscience research programs.
• Assist researchers in creating more opportunities
  for effective and substantial research
  collaborations.
• Increase and maintain a vigorous and stimulating
  academic and intellectual milieu.
• Provide support for pilot research needed to show
  the skills and abilities of investigators.

22
Collaborative Neurological Sciences (CNS) Award
(S11)

• Support for new research investigations to
  strengthen biomedical and behavioral programs at
  minority institutions.
• Supports research partnerships for faculty to
  collaborate with grantees from leading
  neuroscience research laboratories.
• Enhance the research capabilities of applicants
  to obtain independent research funding.
• Supports training opportunities for predoc
  students and postdoc fellows.

23
Neuroscience Scholars Program (R25)

• Enable grantee organization to provide research
  and related experiences for undergrads, graduate
  and medical students, postdocs and junior
  scientists from underrepresented racial/ethnic
  minority groups to broaden their skills.
• Funding support for Neuroscience Scholars
  Programs should lead to increased recruitment,
  mentoring, training and retention of minorities
  in the scientific and technology workforce.
