Kirschstein - National Research Service Awards
NRSA Senior Fellowships (F33)
Deadline: 12/05/2006
National Research Service Awards are provided for research training in specified areas of biomedical and behavioral research. The senior fellowship is designed to provide training for experienced scientists who wish to make major changes in the direction of their research careers or who wish to broaden their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities. These awards will enable individuals beyond the new investigator stage to take time from regular responsibilities for the purpose of receiving training to increase their scientific capabilities to engage in health-related research. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) was established to evaluate and determine the efficacy of various unconventional, alternative or complementary medical practices. Unconventional practices
include medical interventions that are not widely taught at medical schools or are not generally available at hospitals within the United States. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to: acupuncture; homeopathy; structural manipulation including chiropractic/
massage; visual imagery, relaxation techniques, meditation, herbal therapies, or diet and life style. The Center is especially interested in alternative procedures in the treatment of life-threatening diseases (e.g., women's breast cancer or AIDS HIV) and the subsequent impact on: a) course of disease; b) wellness/quality of life/ prevention; c) statistical/population disease trends; d) basic biological systems.
SUPPORT PROVIDED: Stipends for senior fellows are determined individually at the time of award. The amount of the stipend to be paid shall be based on the salary or remuneration the individual would have been paid from their home institution on the date of the award. In no case shall the NIH stipend exceed $51,036 per year. Support may be requested for a period of up to two years. Fellows in the first 12 months of postdoctoral NRSA support will incur a service obligation of one month for each month of support.
APPLICANT INFORMATION: Individuals must have received, as of the beginning date of the NRSA appointment a Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M., O.D., D.P.M., Sc.D., Eng.D., N.D., D.C., Dr. P.H., D.N.S., Pharm.
