Training Grants

T-series training grants are institutional grants and junior faculty almost never write them. However, post-doctoral fellows may be placed on a training grant in the department (usually for one to two years but can be for up to three years).

Post-doctoral fellows are not considered an employee and receive a stipend.  Eligibility to receive a stipend to conduct research as a trainee depends on whether a program director in the department has open positions.

Training grant appointees must be either US citizens or permanent residents (green card holders).

The NIH has a loan deferment program for candidates who want to pursue a full-time career in basic or clinical research.
