Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01): - The goals of NIH-supported career development programs are to help ensure that diverse pools of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. - The purpose of the Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and protected time (three, four, or five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. Awards are not renewable, nor are they transferable from one principal investigator to another. - The K01 application may be submitted on behalf of the candidate (principal investigator) by any domestic for-profit or non-profit institution/organization, or public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals and laboratories. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. - Candidates must be U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals, or an individual lawfully admitted for permanent residence, who hold a research or health-professional doctoral degree or its equivalent and can commit a minimum of 75% of full-time professional effort conducting research and relevant career development activities specified in the application. Receipt of prior support may impact on eligibility. - The candidate must demonstrate and justify the need for a three, four, or five-year period of additional supervised research experience. Planning, direction, and execution of the proposed career development program and research project will be the responsibility of the candidate and his/her mentor. - The proposed career development experience must be in a research area new to the applicant and/or one in which an additional supervised research experience will substantially augment the research capabilities of the applicant. - The candidate should provide a plan and proposed timeline for achieving independent research support by the end of the award period. - The amount funded as salary for a career development award is not uniform throughout the NIH participating Institutes and Centers (ICs); therefore, the applicant is strongly advised to contact the relevant IC for any distinct guidelines, requirements, and allowable funds (see website referenced in Section VII for IC contacts). - The total amount to be awarded and the number of anticipated awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received as determined by the peer review process, available funds and program priorities. - The candidate for this K01 award may not concurrently apply for or have an award pending for another NIH career development award. Up to two revisions of an application will be accepted. - Applications must be submitted on or before the receipt dates described at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm. - Special Note: The participating NIH ICs may have distinctive guidelines, requirements, and funding amounts for this announcement in order to accommodate the career development needs of researchers working in fields related to their specific research missions. Candidates are therefore strongly encouraged to contact the staff person in the relevant Institute or Center listed under Section VII prior to preparing an application to discuss issues of eligibility, program relevance, and review the specific provisions of this award. - See Section IV for application and submission information. - Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088
