It funds didactic, research, mentoring, and career development activities to prepare clinician-scientist leaders addressing the nation’s biomedical research needs.
Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, Native American tribal governments and organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, federal agencies, U.S. territories, and faith-based or community-based organizations.
