Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 Independent Clinical Trial 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 (e.g., mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) and engineering backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research. • Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and other organizations. • The award will provide support for a period of supervised study and research. • Applicants must propose to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial. • The application due date is May 07, 2027.
