NLM's University-based Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Research Training Programs

https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-LM-21-001.html

The National Library of Medicine supports research training in biomedical informatics and data science at eighteen educational institutions in the United States. NLM’s T15 program offers graduate education and postdoctoral training and research experiences in a wide range of areas including health care informatics, translational bioinformatics, clinical informatics, public health informatics, and consumer health informatics. Trainees will receive exposure to a core curriculum focused on biomedical data science concepts and methods as well as develop skills needed to lead independent future research. Some T15 programs offer an additional area of training in HIV/AIDS. Please contact T15 awarded institutions for questions related to trainee selection, eligibility, program specifics, and levels of support. The location of NLM T15 training institutions and contact information for awardees is provided in the interactive map below.

Each NLM research training program makes special efforts to recruit individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, women, and those from economically, socially, culturally, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Those interested in receiving predoctoral or postdoctoral training are encouraged to directly reach out to T15 program contacts at each institution as identified in the interactive map.

For general information about NLM's University-based Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Research Training Programs, please contact: Lyn Hardy, PhD, Lynda.Hardy@nih.gov.
