The NINDS has its own F32 that is distinct from the parent NIH F32. The NINDS F32 eligibility window is earlier and shorter than the parent NIH F32 in that NINDS F32 applicants are only eligible to apply 12 months before, through 12 months after joining the postdoctoral lab. Until now, the 12-month eligibility window applied to both initial and resubmission applications. Effective November 7, 2024, NINDS will accept F32 resubmission applications up to 18 months after joining the postdoctoral lab. IMPORTANT NOTE: The window for submitting an initial NINDS F32 application is unchanged and remains 12 months. The NINDS F32 now also includes the new NIH revised application and review criteria for fellowship applications. We encourage all applicants to read the NOFO (PAR-25-234) carefully! https://lnkd.in/eh4d3uaX If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to the NINDS training office.
