Several UNM Departments and Programs offer scholarships and other funding opportunities. Eligibility requirements and application deadlines vary:
The purpose of this Kirschstein-NRSA program is to enable promising predoctoral students with potential to develop into a productive, independent research scientists, to obtain mentored research training while conducting dissertation research. The F31 is also used to enhance workforce diversity though a separate program.
The purpose of this Kirschstein-NRSA program is to enhance the integrated research and clinical training of promising predoctoral students, who are matriculated in a combined MD/PhD or other dual-doctoral degree training program (e.g. DDS/PhD, AuD/PhD, DVM/PhD), and who intend careers as physician-scientists or other clinician-scientists.
The purpose of the Kirschstein-NRSA postdoctoral fellowship is to enhance the research training of promising postdoctoral candidates who have the potential to become productive, independent investigators in scientific health-related research fields relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers.
The purpose of the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00) is to encourage and retain outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated potential and interest in pursuing careers as independent researchers. The award will facilitate the transition of talented graduate students into successful research postdoctoral appointments.
The Graduate Women In Science (GWIS) National Fellowship Program promotes knowledge in the natural and social sciences and encourages women’s academic and professional careers in the sciences. Endowment funds, mostly generated from bequests, provide the annual income that supports scientific research conducted by GWIS fellowship winners. During the 2021-2022 funding cycle, we distributed $50,000 in research awards to eight outstanding women scientists and recognized twenty-two graduate students and seven early-career honorable mentions. Since 2008, we have awarded nearly $750,000 in research awards.
The fellowships are known as the Sigma Delta Epsilon (SDE), Eloise Gerry, Ethel K. Allen, Vessa Notchev, Jean Langenheim, Monique Braude, Nell I. Mondy, Elizabeth Weisburger, and Hartley Corporation Fellowships. The highest scoring SDE Fellowship designee shall be recognized as the Adele Lewis Grant/SDE Fellowship Winner and the second-highest scoring designee shall be known as the Hartley Corporation/SDE Fellowship Winner. The funds available in any one year shall be the income from and contributions to the endowment accounts. The amount thus varies from year to year. The Fellowships Committee reserves the right to make no awards if no satisfactory applicants present themselves. The program is not bound by any estimates indicated in this description.

The Cory-Slechta/Sobolewski laboratories studies the impact of environmental chemical exposures on brain and behavior. Current emphasis includes projects on the impact of developmental exposure to ultrafine particle matter air pollution and other air contaminants linked to brain metal dyshomeostasis and neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Our laboratory seeks a postdoctoral fellow interested in air pollution, inhalational toxicology and neuroscience. Ongoing projects include determinations of the ability of ultrafine metal nanoparticle inhalation exposures, particularly iron and copper, to reproduce the neurotoxicity seen with ambient ultrafine particulate matter exposures. Our projects involve inhalational exposures, microscopy, wet lab assays, proteomics, and behavioral assessments.
Candidates should be highly motivated and have completed a doctorate (Ph.D.) level degree. The successful candidate should have documented success in research including publications in international journals on relevant topics. Compensation follows NIH salary guidelines and fellows may be awarded an NIH Training Fellowship. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a generous package of fringe benefits.
Applicants should submit an application package that includes a cover letter, CV, up to 2 relevant prior publications, and contact information for three references to Deborah Cory-Slechta (deborah_cory-slechta@urmc.rochester.edu).
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston) is currently seeking postdoctoral candidates for a National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)-funded T32 trauma research fellowship in the following research areas: traumatic brain injury, resuscitation (including hemorrhagic shock), burn, trauma-induced coagulopathy and cellular therapies. These are two year fellowships devoted to clinical or translational research. The goal of this comprehensive program is to provide mentorship as well as didactic and practical training in clinical and translational research, resulting in significant contributions to the care of traumatically-injured patients and future academic independence.
The position requires an MD, DO, or PhD and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Please see the attached document for more information regarding the fellowship position and how to apply. We have 1-3 positions available per year. Application deadline is March 1.
