Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH fellowship for predoctoral students already enrolled in an NIH-funded dual-degree training program (MD/PhD, DO/PhD, DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD) aiming to become physician/clinician-scientists. Small businesses and other organizations appear in the eligibility codes, but the money goes to individual fellows, so companies with no such student should not bother. If you are not a dual-degree student at a participating institution, this is not for you.

Applicant organizations can include higher education institutions, nonprofits, small businesses, for-profit organizations, and government entities, but foreign organizations and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Small businesses are listed as eligible applicants, but there is no published statement on sole proprietors or single-member LLCs specifically.

Yes. Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are listed as eligible applicants, though the fellowship itself supports individual dual-degree students.

Summary

NIH Kirschstein-NRSA F30 fellowships for predoctoral students enrolled in NIH-funded institutional dual-degree training programs (MD/PhD, DO/PhD, DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD) pursuing careers as physician/clinician-scientists. Funds support integrated research and clinical training plus dissertation research in NIH-mission health-related fields; no independent clinical trials.

About this grant

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support students at institutions with NIH-funded institutional predoctoral dual-degree training programs. The purpose of the Kirschstein-NRSA, dual-doctoral degree, predoctoral fellowship (F30) is to enhance the integrated research and clinical training of promising predoctoral students, who are matriculated in a combined MD/PhD or other dual-doctoral degree training program (e.g. DO/PhD, DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD), and who intend careers as physician/clinician-scientists. Candidates must propose an integrated research and clinical training plan and a dissertation research project in scientific health-related fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers. The fellowship experience is expected to clearly enhance the individual's potential to develop into a productive, independent physician/clinician-scientist. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed specifically for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial, but does allow candidates to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.

Who can apply

Other Eligible Applicants include the following:

Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.

Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.
