Complementary and Alternative Medicine Career Transition Award (K22): - The goal of this funding opportunity is to provide support for outstanding advanced postdoctoral research scientists during their transition to independence. The award will provide support for up to 1 year of postdoctoral research training, and 3 years of research support as an independent investigator. This award is limited to postdoctoral trainees who propose research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for the independent investigator phase of this award. - Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. - This program announcement uses the NIH Research Scholar Development Award (K22) mechanism. Eligible organizations include: - For-profit organizations, - Non-profit organizations, - Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories - Eligible agencies of the Federal government, including the NIH intramural program, are eligible for the postdoctoral phase of this award only, - Foreign institutions are not eligible for this award.
