  1. National Institutes of Health K awards Margie Lee Dept Population Health BHSI Fellowship Writing Workshop Phase 1 – Feb 5, 2011

  2. What is the NIH? • Part of US Dept of Health and Human Services • largest source of funding for medical research in the world • Made up of 27 Institutes and Centers, each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body system • Spends > $31.2 billion annually in medical research – 80% goes to extramural

  3. NIH Institutes

  4. Institute research can be very broad • For example, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases • 4 divisions: Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases; Digestive Diseases and Nutrition; Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases; and Extramural Activities • broad spectrum of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, inborn errors of metabolism, endocrine disorders, mineral metabolism, digestive and liver diseases, nutrition, urology and renal disease, and hematology. • Basic research studies include biochemistry, biophysics, nutrition, pathology, histochemistry, bioorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical and molecular biology, and pharmacology.

  5. NIH Funding Opportunities • Special Funding Opportunities • Standard Research Grants • Center and Facilities Grants • Career Development Awards (most limited to US citizens or permanent residents)

  6. Application • Online PHS398 application using SF424 at www.grants.gov • Administrative forms • Compliance documentation • Biosketches • Proposal content (limited to 12 pages) • Candidate's Background • Career Goals and Objectives • Career Development/Training Activities During Award Period • Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research • Research Strategy • Animals, Human Subjects, Biohazards

  7. Tools for finding NIH funding

  8. Tools for finding NIH training support

  9. K awards (postdoctoral)

  10. K awards (postdoctoral)

  11. Which mechanism is right for you? • Depends on the Institute that is most likely to be interested in funding your research • Depends on your level (early in postdoc, transitioning to faculty position) • Depends on research emphasis (basic or clinical) or clinical background

  12. NCI K22 award • facilitate the transition of investigators, primarily those with clinical doctoral degrees or doctoral degrees working in the areas of cancer prevention, control, behavioral, or population science research, from the mentored stage of career development in academic cancer research to the independent stage • salary and research support for 3 years to: postdoctoral individuals or junior faculty in mentored positions transitioning into their first independent position; and investigators within the first 2 years of their first independent cancer research position

  13. NIAID K22 award • Will provide support for NIAID intramural and extramural post-doctoral fellows (working in NIAID funded labs or training grants) who are moving to Assistant Professor positions in an academic institution. • 2 yr award, must have faculty position within 12 months of funding notification

  14. K01 application (mentored) • NIEHS - “protected time” for an intensive, supervised career development experience in occupational health and safety research leading to research independence. • NIAID - protected time clinical research in the areas of epidemiology, modeling techniques, and/or outcomes research

  15. K25 Award • The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. • The K25 award will provide support and protected time for a period of supervised study and research for productive professionals with quantitative (e.g., mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research.

  16. K08 award • The K08 grant is a mentored training award for dentist, physician, and veterinary scientists who plan to become independent scientists. • Eligibility: varies by Institute • Some require licensure • Most require strong research background • PhD is not required

  17. K99/R00NIH Pathway to Independence Award • The award provides up to five years of support consisting of two phases. The initial award (K99) provides one to two years of mentored, postdoctoral support. The second phase (R00) provides up to three years of independent research support and is activated when the awardee accepts a full time tenure track (or equivalent) faculty position. • No citizenship requirement • Difficulty to acquire varies greatly by Institute

  18. Allowable costs • Salary and benefits • Other costs vary by award type and Institute • Tuition • Research supplies • Travel • Indirect costs
