Grant Description: Purpose: The primary goal of the NIMH Career Transition Award for Intramural Investigators (K22) program (hereafter abbreviated as the NIMH Career Transition K22) is to provide support for career intramural investigators at NIMH who aim to transition from the Division of Intramural Research Programs (DIRP) to a research position in the extramural community. Principal investigators will have a demonstrated record of meritorious research in mental health-related fields. Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Career Transition (K22) award mechanism. The NIMH Career Transition K22 award will provide up to 3 years of support at the point of transition of the federal scientist from the DIRP at the NIMH to an extramural position. The initial (Phase 1) application will be submitted while the investigator is in a tenured or tenure-track position in the NIMH intramural laboratories. The Phase 1 application is the document that will be submitted for peer review for scientific merit, and the outcome of the review will be the primary determinant of whether the application will be supported. However, it is the Phase 2 application that will be awarded. If the applicant receives a fundable score after the review of Phase 1 of the application, she/he will be notified in writing of NIMHs commitment to make an award. The candidate will then have a period of up to 18 months to identify a suitable position in research at a domestic academic institution and negotiate a start-up package. As soon as negotiations between the applicant and the institution are complete, the Phase 2 application must be submitted.
