NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research for Underrepresented Minority Students

https://www.nigms.nih.gov/Research/Mechanisms/Pages/PromoteDiversity.aspx

Applications available and reviewed year round. Review takes about 12 weeks.

Program Description

The DSP is designed for individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, including racial and ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities and individuals from economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds that have inhibited their ability to pursue a career in health-related research. Candidates must be American citizens or permanent residents in order to be eligible for diversity supplement support.

Prerequisites

Principal investigators holding NIGMS research grants may request supplemental funds to improve the diversity of the biomedical research workforce by supporting and recruiting students and postdoctoral fellows from racial and ethnic groups that have been shown by the National Science Foundation to be underrepresented in health-related sciences on a national basis (see the most recent report on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering Link to external Web site. The following racial and ethnic groups have been shown to be underrepresented in biomedical research: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.
