The purpose of the NCI Transition Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K22) is to provide "protected time" for recipients to develop and receive support for their initial cancer research program. This award is intended to facilitate the transition of underrepresented postdoctoral research scientists from the mentored to the independent stages of their careers in cancer research. The unique feature of this award is that the indivi! duals may apply without a sponsoring institution while they are still in a mentored position.
