T32 - Ruth L. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Service Award (NRSA) Primary Application
The Kirschstein-NRSA training program aims to support the recruitment of individuals for predoctoral and postdoctoral research training in specific shortage areas, with the goal of preparing them for impactful careers in health-related research. This particular T32 program focuses on respiratory physiology and pulmonary disease, addressing clinical challenges and integrating genetic, genomic, cellular, and molecular studies to understand disease mechanisms and develop innovative treatments. The program emphasizes integrated function and systems biology across multiple levels of respiratory science. The program has recruited influential mentors and R01-funded preceptors and utilizes individual development programs for trainees. Collaboration between MDs and PhDs, interdisciplinary research competency, and a strong foundation in physiology are promoted. The program fosters cohesiveness, team spirit, and a unique identity through shared activities, and it supports career development at all academic stages. The program also strives to diversify the next generation of respiratory scientists. We hope to address the pressing need for multidisciplinary researchers in the field, including the challenges presented by the COVID pandemic.
