  5. General Principles

  6. Training Grants (Ts) • NRSA- National Research Service Award • Legislated, program began in 1974 (P.L. 93-348) • Multi-slot awards • Domestic institutions only • Fund training programs for pre- and postdocs in any scientific area within our scientific mission • Can be basic or clinical • Trainees work in a mentor’s lab • MDs, PhDs, DVMs • Awards go the best training programs in the Nation

  7. Fellowships (Fs): • NRSA- National Research Service Award • Legislated, program began in 1974 (P.L. 93-348) • Individual awards under a mentor • Training can be at domestic or foreign institutions • Fund pre- and postdoc trainees in any scientific area within our scientific mission • Can be basic or clinical- most are basic • Most awardees are for Ph.D.s

  8. Career Development Awards (Ks) • Individual awards • Mostly for MDs • More senior award than a fellowship • Some mentored others not • Newer ones (K22 and K99/R00) are transition awards- for MDs and PhDs

  9. Mechanisms

  10. Training Grants • Some all predoc/some all postdoc • Most are a mixture of slots • Funds are mostly for tuition and trainees • Training Related Expenses may be used to defray costs such as staff salaries, equipment, research supplies, and other expenses directly related to the training program • Costs: • Tuition- 60% of requested tuition, capped at $16,000 ($21K for MD-PhD programs) • Stipends- $20,772 pre/ postdoc $36,996 (level 0)-$51,036 (level 7) • Training Related Expenses- $4,200 pre/$7,850 (post); both include health insurance • Travel- $400-$1000 • F&As- 8%

  15. K02Independent Scientist Award • Best candidate is a “senior” assistant professor or “junior” associate professor • Close to or just got promoted and tenured • Must have independent grant support • Best award to have: R01 • MDs (very few) and PhDs • Salary support only • $75,000/yr + FBs for 5 years • Gives up salary support from all other NIH grants! • Relatively few applicants • F&As= 8%

  18. K25Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award • For individuals from a quantitative background who want to apply their expertise to a biomedical problem • For engineering, mathematics, computer science- NOT individuals who are already working in a biomedical or epidemiological area • 3-5 years • Salary: $75,000 + FBs • Research Support: $20,000 • F&As= 8%
