Description
The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of NIH, supports innovative institutional training programs preparing predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers in biomedical informatics, data science, and artificial intelligence/machine learning. Applications may establish new programs or renew existing NLM-supported programs. The goal is to develop researchers who advance computational, statistical, and information-science methods with clear relevance to health and biomedical discovery.
Programs must combine interdisciplinary curricula with supervised research of increasing sophistication, culminating in an independent research project and dissemination through publications and national scientific meetings. Training should integrate foundational principles with emerging methods and prepare graduates for research-oriented careers across sectors. This opportunity is not intended for careers primarily focused on planning, deploying, maintaining, or administering health care, public health, or research systems and data.
