UCSF Clinical Psychology Training Program ADDITIONAL POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES (CONTINUED) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA) For Individual Postdoctoral Fellows (F32) The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards individual postdoctoral fellowships (F32) to promising applicants with the potential to become productive, independent investigators in fields related to the mission of the NIH constituent institutes and centers. This Postdoctoral Fellowship Award (F32) is issued under the auspices of the Kirschstein-NRSA Act. The proposed postdoctoral training must be within the broad scope of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research and must offer an opportunity to enhance the fellow's understanding of the health-related sciences and extend his/her potential for a productive research career. Fellowship awardees are required to pursue their research training on a full-time basis, devoting at least 40 hours per week to the training program. Research clinicians must devote full-time to their proposed research training and must restrict clinical duties within their full-time research training experience to activities that are directly related to the research training experience Women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Before submitting a fellowship application, the applicant must identify a sponsoring institution and an individual who will serve as a sponsor (also called mentor or supervisor) and will supervise the training and research experience. The applicant's sponsor should be an active investigator in the area of the proposed research who will directly supervise the candidate's research. The sponsor must document the availability of research support and facilities for high-quality research training. In most cases, the F32 supports research training experiences in new settings in order to maximize the acquisition of new skills and knowledge. However, in unusual circumstances, applicants may propose postdoctoral training experiences at their doctorate institution or at the institution where they have been training for more than a year. In such cases, the applicant must carefully document the opportunities for new research training experiences specifically designed to broaden their scientific background. This information is a summary from the program's website: http://grants.nih.gov/training/nrsa.htm Applicants to the CPTP are encouraged to discuss the potential for collaborating on an individual NRSA with their chosen mentor. 23
