Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and protected time for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. The award provides three to five years of support. Key aspects of this opportunity include: * The award is designed for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial. * Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. * The opportunity is open to various types of applicants, including Native American tribal governments, state governments, for-profit organizations, private institutions of higher education, and non-profits. * The award aims to support career development experiences that lead to research independence, with some ICs using the K01 award for individuals who propose to train in a new field or for individuals who have had a hiatus in their research career. Some of the key fields of research supported by this award include: • Environmental Health • Oral Diseases and Disorders Research • Human Genome Research • Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders • Translation and Implementation Science Research for Heart, Lung, Blood Diseases, and Sleep Disorders • Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research • Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research • Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research • Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research • Aging Research
