NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP) NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP) The Common Fund previously supported the NIH Medical Research Scholars Program , a 12-month residential program to provide training for the next generation of clinician-scientists to learn about translational research, from the bench to the bedside, and back to the bench.
The program was designed to attract the most creative, research-oriented medical and dental students, called fellows, to the intramural campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. The fellows could then become engaged in a mentored clinical or translational research project in an area that could match their personal research interests and goals.
The NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP) and Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) have transitioned from Common Fund support. Common Fund programs are strategic investments that aim to achieve a set of high-impact goals within a 5-10 year timeframe. At the conclusion of each program, deliverables will transition to other sources of support or use within the scientific community.
The programs were supported by the Common Fund from Fiscal Year 2004 to Fiscal Year 2014. Currently, the program is administered by the NIH Clinical Center.
Highlights of the programs’ major accomplishments during its time as a Common Fund Program: Continued NIH support to develop and sustain the pipeline of clinician-scientists highlights the success of the program and an effective transition from the Common Fund for sustained NIH support. Over 60% of alumni analyzed report spending at least some of their professional time conducting research.
Several alumni have gone on to receive additional degrees and have become NIH supported. The vast majority of alumni publish peer-reviewed journal articles based on research conducted both during the program and from research conducted after participation in the program.

NOT-OD-26-098 consolidates NIH career development awards into four parent NOFOs (KR1, KC1, KS1, KT1), eliminates the Data Management and Sharing Plan for K applications, and stops supporting K awards that let the awardee lead their own clinical trial. The RFI closes September 30, 2026; the new structure hits due dates on or after October 12, 2027.
Read articleNIH released a draft policy on August 27, 2026 that would require every NIH-supported clinical study to offer participants a plain-language summary of results — clinical trials within one year of completion, all other clinical research by the end of the funding period. It covers observational and behavioral research that ClinicalTrials.gov never touched. Here is the scope, the four requirements nobody has budgeted for, and what to say before the October 26 deadline.
Read articleNOT-OD-26-098 bars K award funds from supporting clinical trials, feasibility studies, and ancillary studies for due dates on or after October 12, 2027, and retires the Independent Clinical Trial Required K NOFOs. NIH has no replacement mechanism yet — only an RFI closing September 30, 2026. Here is what the policy actually says, who it hits, and how to sequence around it.
