Additional Information
The JSPTPN program is jointly sponsored by NIA, NIDA, NIMH, and NINDS and supports broad and fundamental research training in the neurosciences. In addition to a broad education in the neurosciences, a key component is a curriculum that provides a strong foundation in experimental design, statistical methodology and quantitative literacy. JSPTPN programs are intended to be 2 years in duration and students may only be appointed to this training grant during the first 2 years of their graduate research training. The JSPTPN cannot be used to provide support for students who have passed candidacy for the Ph.D. If you are interested in applying to this program, please see additional information and list of currently active JSPTPN T32 programs on the JSPTPN website.
Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Chair of the JSPTPN Steering Committee prior to application preparation and well in advance the due date (see JSPTPN Homepage for contact information).
Applicants for the JSPTPN program should submit a letter of intent by April 25 to the Chair of the JSPTPN Steering Committee (see JSPTPN Homepage for contact information).
T32 Data Tables: Newly revised research training data tables for use with FY 2016 institutional training grant applications are now available. Table formats, instructions, and a completed set of tables with sample data may be found on the NIH website. For electronic application submission using the SF424 (R&R) form set, the data tables are to be saved as a single file. The List of Data Tables submitted with your application should be the first page of the data tables attachment and will serve as a table of contents for that attachment.
