The Mentored Research Awards are meant to offer a stepping stone, on-ramp, or re-entry opportunity toward the NIH funding pipeline – specifically as a pre-K career development award (e.g. K award or equivalent).
HTRS encourages applicants from historically excluded and underrepresented populations to apply, understanding that a diverse scientific workforce will, according to NIH research: foster scientific innovation, contribute to robust learning environments, improve the quality of the research, and advance the likelihood that underserved or health-disparate populations will benefit from this research.
This includes individuals from racial and ethnic groups who have been shown by the National Science Foundation to be underrepresented and/or historically excluded in health-related sciences on a national basis, as well as individuals with disabilities, students from low socioeconomic (SES) status backgrounds, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and women.
HTRS bases our diversity policy on that of NIH’s Interest in Diversity Notice.
In the application process, applicants will be offered the opportunity to self-identify as a member of a historically excluded and/or underrepresented population and provide a brief explanation.
If applicants are also eligible to apply for the Mid-Career Research Award (MCRA), HTRS strongly encourages application to the MRA before applying for the MCRA, especially if K-Award funding has not been received.
