AI Contract Overview
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), supported by the National Institutes of Health under the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program, aims to cultivate highly trained clinician-scientist leaders to meet the country’s biomedical research demands. This program provides funding to eligible domestic institutions to develop and implement innovative and evidence-based dual-degree training and mentoring approaches. The goal is to ensure the successful completion of a clinical degree—such as M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., or Pharm.D.—alongside a research doctorate (Ph.D.), preparing trainees for impactful careers in biomedical research. MSTP emphasizes a comprehensive training model that includes didactic coursework, hands-on research, personalized mentoring, and career development activities. By aligning these elements with the evolving landscape of biomedical research, the program strives to equip trainees to address complex health-related challenges facing the nation. The program is administered by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) within the Department of Health and Human Services, with ongoing communication and application details managed through NIH channels.

Full Description
The overall goal of the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) program is to help ensure that a pool of highly trained scientists is available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.
In alignment with the goal of the NRSA program, the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) supports the development of well-trained clinician-scientist leaders to address the nation’s biomedical research needs. MSTP will support eligible, domestic organizations to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to dual-degree training and mentoring that will keep pace with the rapid evolution of the biomedical research enterprise and lead to the completion of both a clinical degree (for example, M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D., etc.) and a research doctorate degree (Ph.D.). MSTP incorporates didactic, research, mentoring, and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation.
