Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 16 130
The Intramural NIGMS Postdoctoral Research Associate (PRAT) Program (Fi2) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to support high-quality postdoctoral research training in the NIH intramural research environment. Run under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), the program is centered on developing a diverse cohort of postdoctoral fellows by placing them in NIH intramural laboratories for intensive, mentored research experiences. The core purpose is career preparation: the program aims to equip participants with the skills, research depth, and professional development needed to move into leadership roles across biomedical career paths, including academic research, industry, government, and other science-driven sectors.
A key feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on basic biomedical science aligned with the NIGMS mission. Proposed research projects are expected to fall within areas such as cell biology, biophysics, genetics, developmental biology, pharmacology, physiology, biological chemistry, computational biology, bioinformatics, and technology development. The scope is intentionally broad within foundational biomedical research, reflecting NIGMS support for discovery-oriented science that underpins many advances in health and medicine. Projects using model organisms are explicitly encouraged, signaling that studies in systems like yeast, worms, flies, zebrafish, mice, and other experimental models are seen as strong fits when they address fundamental biological mechanisms.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a grant, categorized under health-related funding activities, with assistance listing associated with CFDA number 93.859. The sponsoring agency is the NIH, and the funding opportunity is identified as PAR-16-130, with a recorded creation date of September 7, 2016. The original closing date listed for the opportunity is October 3, 2018. While the listing includes fields such as award ceiling and expected number of awards, those values are not provided in the source data supplied, so the summary cannot infer the budget maximum or how many awards were anticipated.
Eligibility and geographic restrictions are clearly stated. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. In addition, foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed under this opportunity, reinforcing that the supported research training and activities must remain within the allowable domestic framework and the NIH intramural setting. The opportunity’s eligible applicant categories, as listed in the source data, include units of government such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments, although the program itself is oriented around postdoctoral research training within NIH intramural laboratories, which typically involves individual fellows and NIH-based research appointments rather than externally conducted research at non-NIH sites.
Overall, this PRAT program opportunity is best understood as a structured pathway for postdoctoral researchers to conduct mission-relevant, basic biomedical research within NIH intramural labs while receiving advanced training and mentorship intended to accelerate their development into future leaders in biomedical science.Apply for PAR 16 130
