The JSPTPN program provides support for 1st and 2nd-year graduate students to obtain broad-based training across the neuroscience spectrum. The program is intended to be 2 years in duration. JSPTPN cannot be used to provide support for students who have passed candidacy for the Ph.D.

Applicants for the JSPTPN program should submit a letter of intent by April 25 to the Chair of the JSPTPN Steering Committee.

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.
