Training Grant Resources Old

 

 

The University of Pittsburgh houses over 60 NIH training programs. The Office of Academic Career Development (OACD) fosters a sense of community among the University’s training grant directors and administrators, coordinates communication, and maintains several institutional training grant resources.

Training Grant Directory

Training Grant Directory www.traininggrants.pitt.edu

A university-wide Training Grant Directory promotes training opportunities externally and serves as a mechanism to collect institutional data. Publically available NIH training grant data are initially entered by the OACD. New training grant directors automatically receive an email with instructions on how to access the database and how to add additional data. New training grant awards are added quarterly. The overall database is updated annually and an aggregate report is generated annually.

The names and email addresses of training grant directors and training faculty are publically available. Though not publically accessible, the database also houses the names and email addresses of data delegates and/or administrative assistants who have been authorized to log into the database and maintain training program data on behalf of the training grant director.

Grant Database Access to a Data Delegate or Assistant

Training grant directors may identify other individuals to maintain their training grant data within the database (data delegate) or identify an administrative assistant to enhance communication between the OACD and the training grant director. Please submit requests to grant additional access to the database to traininggrants@pitt.edu.

Request Data or Contact Information for All Active Training Programs

The OACD maintains a comprehensive spreadsheet of contact information for all active awards. This report is internally available upon request by contacting traininggrants@pitt.edu.

Request Access to the Training Grant Directory Mailman List

Training grant directors, data delegates, and those identified as contacts in the Training Grant Directory are automatically subscribed to this email distribution list. Other individuals may request to be added to this list to keep up to date on training grant announcements and discussions by contacting traininggrants@pitt.edu.

Predoctoral Training Table Data

Predoctoral training data are not housed in a central location; contact the appropriate graduate student offices or graduate program directors.

Postdoctoral Training Table Data

There are two institutional postdoctoral reports with data relevant to training grant applications and training tables:

University Postdoctoral Report

Provides basic demographic and diversity data about the University's postdoctoral community

Postdocs on Training Grants

Provides postdoc data for Table 1 by Health Sciences Schools/Departments

Training Data Table 3: Federal Institutional Research Training Grants and Related Support Available to Participating Faculty Members

The Training Grant Directory includes the names of training faculty by training program, so centralized data do exist to complete Table 3.
