Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 Independent Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)

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 backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • The award is for a period of supervised study and research, which may last several years. • The opportunity is open to a variety of applicant types, including Native American tribal governments, non-profits, and institutions of higher education. • The award will provide support for the recipient to integrate their quantitative expertise with NIH-relevant research. • The opportunity is focused on attracting investigators with quantitative science and engineering backgrounds to NIH-relevant research.
