Limited Competition: Stimulating Access to Research in Residency Transition Scholar (StARRTS)

Summary

This is a forecasted federal grant opportunity issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under a limited competition mechanism. The StARRTS program is designed to stimulate access to research for scholars transitioning through residency programs. As a limited competition, eligibility is restricted to a defined subset of applicants rather than open to the general public. Full programmatic details, funding levels, and submission requirements are not yet published as of the forecast date.

How they evaluate

Risks & flags

• Limited competition designation restricts eligible applicants — opportunity may be pre-targeted to a specific institution or cohort of residency programs
• Minimal detail published in forecast — full scope, eligibility criteria, and funding levels not yet disclosed, limiting preparation time for prospective applicants
• Agency code HHS-NIH11 suggests a specific NIH institute (likely NHLBI) which may further narrow the eligible applicant pool
