PURPOSE

 

This clarification to NIDA Supplemental Information  (published in

the NIH Guide, Vol. 24, No. 32, September 1, 1995) to the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) career development program announcements

(K Awards) is intended to provide additional information for

potential applicants on the unique aspects of National Institute on

Drug Abuse (NIDA) career development programs.  Two sections have

been added -- renewal of K02 and eligibility requirements of the K01.

The NIH program announcements addressed by this supplement are the

following:

 

o  PA-95-049:  Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) o

PA-95-050:  Independent Scientist Award (K02)

o  PA-95-051:  Senior Scientist Award (K05)

o  PA-95-053:  Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08) o

PA-95-054:  Mentored Clinical Scientists Development Program Award

(K12)

 

The guidelines and procedures outlined in the NIH program

announcements must be followed closely when an application is being

prepared for submission to the NIDA.  Particular attention should be

paid to the purpose of each award mechanism, its eligibility

requirements, and its review considerations.  For example, the K12

program mechanism will accommodate the research career pathways of

clinicians in fields related to NIDA's research mission.  Under the

K12 award, support will be provided to eligible institutions to

develop or enhance research training opportunities for clinicians

selected by the institution, who are training for careers as

independent researchers in the drug abuse and addiction area of

biomedical and behavioral research.  The K12 mechanism is designed to

foster the development of advanced clinical research skills through

didactic training and the mentored research experience.  Potential

applicants should contact appropriate NIDA staff for further

information.

 

Supplemental Information for NIDA Applicants

 

The RESEARCH OBJECTIVES section of each program announcement should

be followed carefully during the preparation of an application.  Note

especially that differences exist among various NIH Institutes

regarding allowable costs. The unique aspects of NIDA allowable

development support (K01, K08), are listed below.

The NIDA contribution to the Principal Investigator's salary is

geared to the institutional base salary as follows:
