  10. 2013 NIH K-Award Success Rate

  11. Impact of K Awards  K08 & K23 awardees had significantly higher rates of receiving subsequent NIH research awards than a matched group of unfunded applicants  K awards appeared to have the greatest impact on the subsequent NIH research involvement of MD recipients, followed by MD/PhD recipients, and then PhD recipients http://grants.nih.gov/training/K_Awards_Evaluation_FinalReport_20110901.pdf

  12. Resources Center for Excellence in Research (CER) http://www.usc.edu/research/about/vp/cer/ NIH K-Kiosk information NIH career development awards http://grants.nih.gov/training/careerdevelopmentawards.htm

  13. Some questions to be thinking about What is the intent of the mentored K award? How is a K application different from an R application? What does a career development training plan look like? What is the candidate evaluated on? What qualifications should the designated mentors have? What should be included in a mentor’s statement? What are application strategies that work? What are common mistakes to avoid? What are reviewers looking for? What does a competitive K award application look like?
