Male Reproductive Health Research Career Development Program: - The NICHD invites institutional career development award applications for Male Reproductive Health Career Development Programs. These programs will support the research career development of urologists, reproductive endocrinologists and other clinicians who have recently completed sub-specialty training and who are commencing basic, translational and/or clinical research relevant to male reproductive health. The goal of this initiative is to increase the clinical research capacity among practitioners in the area of male reproductive biology and promote the translation of basic science advances to clinical practice. The programs will accomplish this through a mentored program, bridging clinical training with research independence. The intent is to stimulate clinical research in male reproductive health and bring a more holistic approach to fertility regulation in clinical practice in which the male is an equal partner. - The NICHD intends to commit approximately $600,000 for this initiative in FY 2006. - This funding opportunity anticipates one to two awards. - This funding opportunity will use the NIH Mentored Research Career Development Program Award (K12) mechanism. This program provides support for early career junior clinical investigators (Scholars) who are M.D. of M.D./Ph.D.s with no more than 6 years of postdoctoral research training experience. Grants funded by this program are not transferable to another institution. - Eligible organizations include domestic for-profit or non-profit public or private institutions such as universities, colleges, and hospitals. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. - Eligible Principal Investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed Program. The Principal Investigator must be a senior faculty member such as a Dean, Department Chair or Director of a research institute or center, with the scientific background, leadership and administrative skills required to coordinate and supervise a multidisciplinary research career development program of this scope. - Each eligible institution may submit one application. - See Section IV.1 for application materials. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088.
