NIDCR Dentist Scientist Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00): Purpose: The primary purpose of the Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented NIH-supported independent investigators. The program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support at an earlier stage than is currently the norm. With this FOA, NIDCR is introducing a modified K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award program, targeted specifically for recent DDS/PhD graduates. The purpose of the Dentist Scientist K99/R00 award program is to ensure that dual degree dentist scientists receive sufficient mentoring and protected research time necessary to allow them to successfully transition to independent researchers. In order to accomplish this, the mentored K99 phase is required to last for the full two year award duration. The sponsoring institution(s) must guarantee a minimum of 75% protected research time during both the K99 and R00 award phases. In addition, recipients may receive clinical specialty training during the R00 phase, which may be extended for up to five years. Funding from the K99/R00 award cannot be used to support the clinical specialty training. The R00 phase will be limited to 3 years in the event that the awardee already has clinical specialty training, or chooses not to pursue specialty training. Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) mechanism.
