Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
January 25, 2027.
Who can apply for this grant?
Federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes, tribal colleges or universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations. Foreign institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
No. Only Tribal entities and institutions of higher education may apply; for-profit businesses, including small businesses, are not eligible.
Can a nonprofit apply?
The facts do not say. The eligible applicant codes list institutions of higher education and Tribal entities, and the program does not accept nonprofit applicants, so the facts do not establish nonprofit eligibility.

About this grant

The purpose of the Tribal Undergraduate to Graduate Research Training and Leadership Experiences (TURTLE) program is to fund federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes, tribal colleges or universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations (collectively termed, eligible Tribal Entities) to identify and develop a pool of scientists to conduct research on AI/AN health and health disparities. Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), NIGMS will provide support for a phased award to eligible AI/AN Tribal Entities to develop (UE5) and implement (T32) effective training and mentoring activities for research-oriented individuals earning a doctoral degree in a biomedical research field at a variety of institutions across the United States and territories. The overall purpose is to support the development of individuals who have the technical, operational, and professional skills required to conduct AI/AN health research in a culturally appropriate, ethically responsible and rigorous manner, to complete Ph.D.s in a biomedical field, and to transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce.
