I am in a non-funded dual degree program about to finish my first year of medical school. I came across the following award:
Individual Predoctoral National Research Service Awards for M.D./Ph.D. Fellowships (NRSA F30)
Since many dual degree programs are fully funded for all years(NIH or otherwise) are there really that many applicants for NRSAs? If so, are there any posting on this board? I have searched and not much came up about NRSAs. It seems that some people going to top MSTP programs sometimes get an NRSA instead of being funded by the school's grant. Any word on how stiff competition is?
I am trying to size myself up with others in the applicant pool and those that have received the award to see if it is even worth my time pursuing. Any advice would be great. Thanks for your time.
