These individuals can include those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, as well as individuals from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who have just recently and demonstrably inhibited their ample capacity to pursue a career in health-related research.

Initially, the program was established because of the need to promote a compelling diversity in the NIH-funded research workforce, as well as the agency's recognition of the fact that there is quite a huge population of worthy investigators who might need to immerse themselves rigorous research training in order to flawlessly develop a substantial research project grant application.

The NIH and NCI is set to administer an annual budget of $275,000 to eligible recipients of this grant.

The institutions and organizations who will be considered eligible to submit an application under this program are the following:
