"An Intro to NIH F32 Awards" with Stephanie Freel, PhD

The Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA F32) for Individual Postdoctoral Fellowships provides up to three years of support for promising postdocs who have the potential to become productive, independent investigators within the broad scope of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research, and to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists is available to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. Please note that F32 awards are limited to US citizens and permanent residents.

In this seminar, Stephanie Freel, PhD, PMP, Associate Director of Outreach and Mentorship in the Duke Office for Clinical Research (DOCR), will give an overview of the F32 award mechanism, including positioning oneself for success, responding to core review criteria, and writing to promote a successful application.
