NIGMS Research Training Programs
NIGMS sponsors research training programs in a
variety of areas to ensure that there are adequate numbers of highly
trained biomedical and behavioral scientists. The programs recognize
the interdisciplinary nature of biomedical research today and stress
approaches to biological problems that cut across disciplinary and
departmental lines. Information on NIGMS research training programs
can be found on the Web at http://www.nigms.nih.govhttp://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/Mechanisms/.
Certain NIGMS training programs address areas in
which there is a particularly serious need for well-prepared scientists.
One of these, the Medical Scientist Training Program, provides investigators
who can bridge the gap between basic and clinical research by supporting
research training leading to the combined M.D.-Ph.D. degree. Other
programs train scientists to conduct research in the rapidly growing
field of biotechnology and at the interface between the fields of
chemistry and biology. NIGMS also has a Pharmacology Research Associate
Program, in which postdoctoral scientists receive training in pharmacology
in NIH and FDA laboratories and clinics. Information on the PRAT Program
can be found on the Web at http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/PRAT.
NIGMS has flyers available for the following research training
programs: Medical Scientist, Biotechnology, and Clinical Pharmacology.
The flyers contain an overview of the programs, eligibility requirements,
and lists of participating institutions. Free copies of the flyers
can be requested by contacting:
