NCI Transition Career Development Award to Promote Diversity: The Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Branch (CMBB), Office of Centers, Training and Resources (OCTR), Office of the Deputy Director for Extramural Sciences (ODDES), National Cancer Institute (NCI), invites transition career development award applications from recipients of the NCI Mentored Career Development Award for Underrepresented Minorities or from advanced postdoctoral and/or newly independent research scientists representative of groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social sciences. 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.
