![Page 9: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NIH Career Development Programs
• Purposes include to provide:– mentored development of research careers– transitions of career emphasis– protected time for research by clinicians– support for outstanding scientists with a
sustained level of high productivity• 13 different mechanisms:
– Match with the stage of career– Mentored, Mid-career, Senior– Can be interactive with other NIH Awards– Different availabilities/eligibilities at each
institute
![Page 10: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mentored Research Grants• K01 – Mentored Research Scientist Development Award
– provide research scientists with a sponsored research experience that will help the applicant gain expertise in a new research area or demonstrably enhance the applicant’s scientific career
– Replaced July 2, 2006 by the NIH Pathway to Independence
• K22 – Career Transition Award– support newly trained investigators (basic or clinical) to develop
their independent research skills through a two phase program. • initial period involves an intramural appointment at the NIH• final period of support is conducted at an extramural
institution.• research in Cancer Prevention & Control
![Page 11: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
NIH Pathway to Independence Award K99/R00
• Postdoctoral scientists receive both mentored & independent research support from the same award– 1-2 year mentored phase (K99)– independent phase, occurs in years 3-5 (R00)
• Goal: to facilitate awardee – secure an assistant professorship (or equivalent)– establish an independent research program– apply for an investigator-initiated grant
![Page 12: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Consider the review criteria
• The candidate: your background and potential to develop into an independent researcher
• Research plan: its scientific merit, significance, feasibility & relationship to your career plans
• Training/career development plan: its components & how well it fits the research plan
• The sponsor: his/her track record as both a researcher and mentor
• Institutional environment & commitment to the training/career development of the candidate
![Page 13: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Identifying a Sponsor/Mentor:
• With a track record of successful training and research
• With a commitment to you & your career goals• He/she need not be your research advisor• More than one is OK! • Should have $$
![Page 14: Funding for Academic Career Development - Slide 1](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c204a24a79592d6b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Institutional Commitment:
