The Pharmacology Research Associate (PRAT) Program of the National
Institute
of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) sponsors postdoctoral fellows
conducting
research at the NIH in the pharmacological sciences.  This can include
research in the areas of signal transduction, drug metabolism,
immunopharmacology, chemistry and drug design, structural biology,
endocrinology, neuroscience, clinical pharmacology, among other areas. 
Potential fellows make an application together with a preceptor to the
PRAT
Program.  Selected fellows receive a two-year appointment, salary,
supplies,
and travel funds from the NIGMS to support research in the preceptors'
laboratories.  Candidates may apply prior to coming to NIH or FDA, or they
may have started postdoctoral research at NIH or FDA within the 12-month
period prior to the application receipt deadline.  Applications are due on
or before January 5, 2000, for fellowships starting in October of that
year.
 Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible.  Contact the PRAT
Program Assistant at (301) 594-3583 or prat@nigms.nih.gov to request a
PRAT
Fact Sheet and an application kit, or visit the NIGMS home page at
http://www.nih.gov/nigms/about_nigms/prat.html to view the PRAT Fact
