Mentored Career Development Award to Promote Faculty Diversity/Re-Entry in Biomedical Research (K01): -Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, solicits applications to increase the number of highly trained investigators, from diverse backgrounds or who have experienced an interruption in their research careers, whose basic and clinical research interests are grounded in the advanced methods and experimental approaches needed to solve problems related to cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders in the general and health disparities populations. This FOA is a three-to-five-year award made to faculty members who are currently underrepresented on faculty at academic institutions in health-related research on a national or institutional basis, such as individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or individuals who have experienced an interruption in their research careers. This strategy will establish a cadre of biomedical and behavioral researchers from diverse backgrounds that will significantly contribute to reducing and ultimately eliminating health disparities and assist basic and clinical scientists to re-enter active careers in science and academic medicine. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the K01 grant mechanism and is a continuation and expansion of the program named Mentored Career Development Award to Promote Faculty Diversity in Biomedical Research, (K01) (RFA-HL-05-015).
