Overview - Tables 6A & 6B

The five-year admissions data from Wayne State demonstrates the robust pipeline of potential trainees for our proposed program. The table details application and matriculation statistics across participating departments, programs, and research groups, confirming there is a sufficient pool of qualified candidates to fill the requested training positions.

Overall Instructions

As of January 2025, the NIH has removed significant portions of Part II and combined both Parts into "Counts and Characteristics"

Table 6A (Pre-Docs) & Table 6B (Post-Docs)

• These tables report admission data for departments/programs listed in Table1 (Pre-docs) and mentors' labs (Post-docs).
• This section is comprised of six separate sub-tables: one table for each of the past 5 years plus a final table summarizing the mean values of each year.
• For Table 6A (Pre-docs), omit participating departments/programs that do not offer pre-doc programs. Clinician departments will be displayed in Table 6B (Post-docs).
• Omit trainees admitted solely to obtain master’s degrees.
• Begin with the most recently completed academic or grant year and work backward.
• If only one department is participating in the proposed training program, only enter the overall total for each year.
• Bold all totals in the final row.
• Page Limit: None. 

Guidance by Column

Sub-Tables 1-5

1. Sub-Table Title. Label the first table as “Most Recently Completed Year: “YYYYYYYY” and the next four as “Previous Year: YYYY-YYYY"; base the most recently completed year on academic year (Wayne State uses September to August) or grant year (renewal project period) depending on which timeframe ends closest to the submission deadline
   • Table 6A (Pre-docs): Include participating departments/programs that support pre-docs from Table 1; ensure the same naming conventions are used
   • Table 6B (Post-docs): Include information about trainees who formally applied to work with mentors on Table 2
2. Training Program Candidates – Applied. Number of candidates who formally applied for admission to programs, as outlined in column 1
3. Training Program Candidates – Eligible for Support. Subset of the candidates from column 2 who were eligible for support on the proposed training grant*
4. New Entrants to the Program. Subset of individuals from column 2 who matriculated within the given timeframe
5. New Entrants Eligible for Support. Subset of matriculated individuals from column 4 who were eligible* for inclusion in the proposed training grant
6. New Appointees to this Grant (Renewal/Revision Applications Only). Total the appointed trainees in the year they were admitted to the applicable department (Table 6A) or mentor lab (Table 6B), not to the training program itself; list 0 if none
   apply
   • Table 6A (Pre-Docs): Do not include students admitted solely to obtain master’s degrees; if only one department is participating, only enter the overall total for each year
   • Table 6B (Post-docs): Only include post-doc applicants who could be considered candidates for the proposed training program
   • New applications delete this column.

*Eligibility: In most cases, eligible candidates are citizens or non-citizen nationals of the U.S. or permanent residents. They are required to pursue their research training full time and are normally assigned 12-month appointments, but no less than 9 months. Check the specific FOA for full details.

• Pre-docs: Trainees must be enrolled in a program leading to a PhD or equivalent research doctoral degree program. Health professional students who wish to interrupt their studies for a year or more to engage in full-time research training before completing their formal training programs are also eligible.
• Post-docs: Trainees must have received a PhD, MD, DDS, or comparable doctoral
  degree at the time of their training grant appointment start date. Check the specific FOA for a list of comparable doctoral degrees. Individuals in postgraduate clinical training who wish to interrupt their studies for a year or more to engage in
  full-time research training before completing their formal training programs are also eligible.

Sub-Table 6

Means Across All Years

Summarize Wayne State's admission data by providing the mean vakue for all 5 years of supports (previous 5 tables).

1. Table 6A (Pre-Docs): Title the first row "Total All Years" and the second row "Mean Count Across Years". Provide a mean for every column.
2. Table 6B (Post-Docs): Title the first row "Means Across All Years." Provide a mean for every category.

Percent from Underrepresented Groups

For this row of each sub-table, enter the percent of individuals from underrepresented groups using NIH’s guidelines. The following racial and ethnic groups have been shown to be underrepresented in biomedical, clinical, behavioral, or social sciences.

• Black or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders
• Individuals with disabilities, who are defined as those with a physical or mental impairment
• Individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who meet specific criteria (see more information)
