Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Individual Predoctoral Fellowships

This FOA issued by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR/NIH), National Institutes of Health, encourages Individual Predoctoral Fellowship (F31) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to increase the number of nurses prepared with a doctoral degree in order to meet the demands for adequately trained behavioral, biological, and biobehavioral scientists. NINR is particularly interested in facilitating the progress of students who are in research training programs for recent nursing graduates and students in BSN to PhD programs. This fellowship program will provide predoctoral training support for doctoral students. The applicant must propose a research training program and dissertation research that is consistent with the scientific mission of the NINR. Fellowship applicants must have a baccalaureate or higher degree in nursing and be enrolled in doctoral programs or have been accepted by and agreed to enroll in such a graduate program in the academic year in which funds are awarded.
