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.
