What are NIH Individual Fellowships?

These awards support promising predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers to obtain individualized, mentored research training to develop into independent research scientists. Applicants must propose a mentored research project and detailed training plan, which will be evaluated in NIH peer review. Awarded fellows receive a stipend, tuition and fees, and an institutional allowance to defray costs like health insurance and travel to scientific meetings.
