National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) intends to reissue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Institutional Research Career Development (K12) programs through the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA).  

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.  

The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2024 with an expected application due date in January 2025. 

This NOFO will utilize the K12 activity code. Details of the planned NOFO are provided below. 

This Notice encourages institutions to propose creative and innovative institutional research career development programs designed to prepare a heterogeneous pool of promising later stage postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty scholars who demonstrate a commitment to independent research careers, and to facilitate their transition to NIH research grant support, e.g., research career development awards or research grants. This program provides support and protected time to scholars for an intensive, research career development experience under the guidance of an experienced mentorship team with expertise in clinical and translational science. The institutional research career development (K12) programs prepare scholars to transition into research independence in clinical and translational science and to advance diagnostics, therapeutics, clinical interventions, and behavioral modifications that improve health. Institutional research career development (K12) programs are expected to be designed with a sustained period of protected time to enhance the scholar’s research-focused career development experiences as clinical and translational science researchers, both in their chosen areas and in research areas that includes: 1) pre-clinical research, 2) clinical research, 3) clinical implementation, and/or 4) public health. By understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process, upon the completion of the institutional research career development program, the scholars will be prepared to launch into research independence. The scholars should be able to turn observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public while simultaneously poised to take on leadership roles in clinical and translational science.
