Summary
This grant opportunity provides support for educational and research-focused programs primarily within the United States. It is designed for nonprofit institutions, such as universities and research centers, that aim to develop or strengthen programs for advanced trainees pursuing research careers. Individual trainees benefit from financial support, including stipends, tuition, and related training expenses, allowing them to focus on full-time research and professional development. Funding amounts generally range from $150,000 to $500,000 or more annually, depending on program size and scope, and are intended to cover program costs as well as direct support for trainees, including occasional travel or short-term training activities.
The intent of these funds is to cultivate a well-prepared, skilled workforce in a variety of scientific and health-related fields. Participating programs often emphasize mentorship, coursework, and hands-on research, encouraging both interdisciplinary collaboration and exposure to broader scientific communities. While the funding is aimed at supporting trainees in structured institutional programs, the overarching goal is to strengthen the capacity of institutions to offer comprehensive and high-quality research training.
Eligible applicants are typically nonprofit organizations capable of administering training programs, whereas the support is directed toward individual participants enrolled in the program. The grant opportunity spans multiple regions across the U.S., with flexibility for institutions to include affiliated components in other areas. Annual application cycles provide recurring opportunities for institutions to submit proposals, and the awards are intended for multi-year program support, allowing sustained training and professional growth for participants. The programs funded under this opportunity are especially beneficial for institutions looking to enhance their research training infrastructure, expand opportunities for trainees, and foster the next generation of researchers across a wide range of scientific disciplines.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Nebraska that are actively involved in Higher Education. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
