The Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual National Research Service Awards (NRSAs) are offered by the NIH to provide training opportunities for individuals at various stages of education and training, beginning at the baccalaureate level and through the postdoctoral phase.

The purpose of the F31 Predoctoral NRSA enables promising predoctoral students to obtain individualized, mentored research training from outstanding faculty sponsors while conducting dissertation research. The proposed mentored research training is expected to clearly enhance the individual’s potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientist.

The purpose of the F32 Postdoctoral NRSA is to enhance the research training of promising postdoctoral candidates who have the potential to become productive, independent investigators in scientific health-related research fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.
