The trainee must be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or have permanent resident status. NIH training grant funding guidelines stipulate that no individual trainee may receive more than 5 years of aggregate Kirschstein-NRSA support at the predoctoral level and 3 years of aggregate Kirschstein-NRSA support at the postdoctoral level, including any combination of support from Kirschstein-NRSA institutional research training grants and individual fellowships. Therefore, trainees who have already received this level of NIH funding are not eligible to apply for the training grant fellowships. Support from NIH research project grants awarded to faculty do not count towards the 3 year eligibility rule.
We anticipate that funds will shortly become available for two POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS to support trainees interested in chromosome metabolism and cancer. Stipends will be awarded for up to three years. One postdoctoral position will begin on January 1, 2009 and the other will begin on January 16, 2009. Applicants should be at the Center as of January 1 to be considered. Application materials must be received by Monday, December 1st, 5:00 PM.
