Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 25 194
This funding opportunity (PAR-25-194) is a limited-competition National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant administered by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) under the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program. It uses the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) institutional training mechanism (T32) to support structured, institution-led predoctoral research training programs in clinical and translational science. The announcement is explicitly labeled "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning the training program and supported trainee activities must not propose or conduct clinical trials as part of the application’s research plan.
The core purpose is to fund eligible institutions to build, run, and share (create, provide, and disseminate) high-quality training and career development support for predoctoral individuals pursuing a PhD or an equivalent research health professional degree. The intent is not only to provide traditional research training, but to intentionally prepare trainees with the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that are central to translational science. In practical terms, the program is meant to develop scientists who can move discoveries along the pipeline from basic insights to real-world health impact, including the development or improvement of diagnostics, therapeutics, clinical interventions, and behavior-change approaches aimed at improving health outcomes.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is strengthening the translational science workforce through a heterogeneous (broad and varied) pool of trainees. The training environment and recruitment/retention approaches are expected to support diversity in the translational science pipeline and to ensure trainees are prepared to work effectively across disciplines, sectors, and communities. The announcement also highlights the importance of meaningful translational science projects that address demonstrable needs among stakeholder communities, signaling that programs should align trainee research experiences with real, clearly evidenced problems and priorities identified by patients, communities, practitioners, health systems, and other relevant stakeholders.
Eligibility is restricted. The eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and because this is a limited competition tied to the CTSA Program, it is generally aimed at institutions within that CTSA ecosystem (applicants should confirm their institutional eligibility status under the specific FOA requirements). Foreign participation is not allowed at the applicant level: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) cannot apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply under this announcement.
Key administrative details from the notice include: the opportunity is discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument; it falls under the health funding activity category; the CFDA/Assistance Listing number is 93.350; the posting (creation) date is December 19, 2024; and the original closing date is September 28, 2027. The provided source data does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, indicating those figures are either not set in the summary field or must be checked in the full FOA text or related NIH documentation.
Overall, this FOA supports institutionally organized predoctoral training programs that strengthen clinical and translational science capacity, deliberately build trainee KSAs needed to advance interventions that improve health, and encourage translational research experiences that are responsive to concrete stakeholder and community needs, while staying within the constraint that clinical trials are not permitted under this specific T32 training announcement.Apply for PAR 25 194
