National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH fellowship supports experienced individual scientists who want to redirect their research careers or gain new independent research skills in fields relevant to NIH's mission. It is an individual fellowship (awarded via a sponsoring institution), not a project grant for organizations, and eligibility text names foreign organizations as an other-eligible applicant category, which is unusual for NIH. No specific award amount is listed, and the deadline is set years out (2028), so there is no urgency to apply.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH fellowship funds individual postdoctoral researchers who show strong potential to become independent investigators in health-related research fields, supporting mentored research training. It is an individual award (not for organizations), and foreign organizations are listed as an other-eligible applicant category. No specific funding amount is given, and the deadline is not imminent.

National Institutes of Health · Amount varies

This NIH fellowship supports predoctoral students in combined MD/PhD or similar dual-doctoral degree programs at institutions that already have an NIH-funded dual-degree training program, preparing them for physician-scientist careers.
