Training Grants at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
A training grant is an agreement that provides funding intended to pay stipends to, and provide a coordinated training program for students, postdoctoral researchers, staff, teachers and/or faculty who are selected by the institution to be a part of the training program. They are different from fellowships, which generally provide stipends for individuals who are selected by the agency. Training grants can come from federal and non-federal agencies. UW has received training grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), US Department of Education, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and other agencies. The Graduate School focuses on training grants that support graduate student training, such as the NIH National Research Service Award Institutional Training Grants (NRSA T32s and other "T" awards) and the NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT).
Because the majority of the University’s training grants are from the National Institutes of Health, additional information about applying for and administering these awards has been gathered at the following page: Helpful Information Regarding NIH Training Grants.
