National Cancer Institute
PURPOSE
The purpose of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Established Investigator
Award in Cancer Prevention, Control, Behavioral and Population Research(K05)
is to provide established investigators protected time to devote to research
and to act as mentors for new investigators. The target candidates are
outstanding established scientists who have demonstrated a sustained, high
level of productivity, research accomplishments, and contributions to cancer
prevention, control, behavioral and population CANCER research; and who can
demonstrate the need to sustain an intensive research focus that will enhance
the progress of their own research and provide them greater opportunity to
serve as mentors to new scientists. The award provides salary support for an
award period up to five years, and is renewable for one additional five year
period.
The NCI is especially interested in training and retaining scientists who
conduct high-quality research in cancer prevention, control, behavioral and
populations sciences. Accordingly, this award forms an important part of the
NCI Strategic Training Plan to relieve researchers from administrative
responsibilities and/or clinical responsibilities in order to help them focus
on research and mentoring.
Examples of disciplines relevant to this Program Announcement (PA) include
any aspect of human cancer prevention (modifiable risk factors, new animal
models and extrapolation of these models to human cancer, genetic
predisposition to cancer and detection of precursor lesions, chemoprevention
trials in human populations, and behavioral research and behavioral
intervention trials in cancer prevention), epidemiology (biochemical,
genetic, molecular), biostatistics, human cancer genetics, human nutrition,
behavioral and social sciences, health promotion, health services and health
policy research; and medical decision analysis, survivorship and quality of
life as they relate to cancer; and basic and applied research in the
behavioral sciences that independently or in combination with biomedical
approaches, reduces cancer risk, incidence, morbidity, and mortality across
the lifespan and over the entire process of carcinogenesis from primary
behavioral prevention in youth, to screening, treatment, and survivorship.
HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000
The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health
promotion and disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000," a
PHS-led national activity for setting priority areas. This PA, Established
Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention, Control, Behavioral and Population
Research, is related to the priority areas of cancer and human resource
development. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of "Healthy People 2000"
at http://odphp.osophs.dhhs.gov/pubs/hp2000 .
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Candidates must be established CANCER scientists with a strong track record
of publications and successful competition for cancer research support.
Candidates must have peer-reviewed, independent research support at the time
of and during the entire duration of the award. This support could include
National Institutes of Health (NIH) awards (e.g., R01) or awards from other
sources, as long as they are equivalent to NIH R01 type grants in complexity
and duration. Individuals holding small grants (e.g., R03s) or developmental
grants (e.g., R21s) are not eligible. However, scientists whose work is
primarily theoretical may apply for this award in the absence of research
grant support, if the institutional commitment includes stability of salary
and research support. Candidates must have a record of supervising junior
researchers. Finally, candidates for this award must be able to demonstrate
the need for protected time to advance their research careers and mentoring
activities.
Applications may be submitted on behalf of candidates by domestic,
non-Federal organizations, public or private, such as medical, dental, or
nursing schools or other institutions of higher education. Racial/ ethnic
minority individuals, women, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to
apply as principal investigators. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or
noncitizen nationals, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent
residence and possess an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I-551) or
some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident.
Noncitizen nationals, although not U.S. citizens, owe permanent allegiance to
the U.S. They are usually born in lands that are not states but under U.S.
sovereignty, jurisdiction or administration. Individuals on temporary or
student visas are not eligible.
A candidate for this award may not concurrently apply for any other PHS award
that duplicates the provisions of this award.
MECHANISM OF SUPPORT
The Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention, Control, Behavioral
and Population Research is a special NCI modification of the NIH Senior
Scientist Award or K05 grant mechanism. Planning, direction, and execution of
the program will be the responsibility of the candidate on behalf of the
applicant institution. However, the institution must demonstrate a commitment
to the candidate and the candidates goals for career development. The
project period may be for up to five years (at least three years are
required) . Awards are renewable for one additional five year period if the
candidate still meets the stated requirements.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
A. Background: In 1998, the National Cancer Institute completed major
external reviews of its cancer prevention and control sciences programs. The
scientific experts conducting these reviews recommended strengthening the
NCI-supported cancer prevention program by increasing support of research on
modifiable risk factors, new animal models and extrapolation of these models
to human cancer, genetic predisposition to cancer and detection of precursor
lesions, chemoprevention trials in human populations, and behavioral research
and behavioral intervention trials in cancer prevention. Recommendations
made by the scientific experts for research areas of emphasis in cancer
control included basic behavioral and social research, communications and
informatics, rehabilitation and survivorship, quality of life, screening
research , and applied cancer control research which includes health services
and health policy research. These groups also recommended bringing senior
scientists into the NCI for short periods of time to collaborate with the NCI
researchers and program staff.
The cancer prevention and cancer control review groups independently
identified the current level of support for training in cancer prevention and
cancer control as being inadequate to take advantage of the new opportunities
for reducing cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality. The scientific
experts on these review groups recommended expanding current NCI support of
education/ training programs in cancer prevention and cancer control, and
multidisciplinary training of basic and clinical scientists in highly
interdisciplinary and collaborative environments. Similar recommendations
have been made by other NCI advisory groups.
The NCI Cancer Training Branch responded to these recommendations in 1998
with the NCI Strategic Training Plan. A major focus of this plan was to
provide new training and career development opportunities for young
investigators in the cancer prevention, control and population sciences.
Additionally, to address the projected needs of the mentors for these young
investigators, the strategic plan proposed the use of a career award grant
mechanism to provide senior investigators protected time to stabilize their
research programs and for mentoring new investigators.
B. Program: The award provides five consecutive 12 month appointments. At
least 25 percent and up to 50 percent of the recipient's full-time
professional effort must be devoted to the program and the remainder devoted
to other research-related and/or teaching pursuits consistent with the
objectives of the award.
C. Environment: The institution must have a well-established research and
career development program in cancer prevention, control and the population
sciences. The institution must be able to demonstrate a commitment to the
candidate as a productive, independent investigator. The candidate and
institution must certify that the candidate will be released from other
duties and be able to devote up to 50 percent effort (at least 25 percent) to
achieve the research and mentoring objectives of this award. The institution
must also document an adequate pool of candidates for mentoring.
D. Allowable Costs:
1. Salary: The NIH will provide salary for the award recipient of up to the
current Federal salary rate limit plus commensurate fringe benefits for up to
50 percent effort. The institution may supplement the NIH contribution up to
a level that is consistent with the institution's salary scale.
Institutional supplementation of salary must not require extra duties or
responsibilities that would interfere with the purpose of the award.
Recipients of this award may derive additional compensation for the effort
associated with other federal sources or awards provided the total salary
derived from all Federal sources does not exceed the current Federal salary
rate limit and their total percent effort on all awards does not exceed 100
percent. Direct salary is exclusive of fringe benefits and indirect costs/
facilities and administrative expenses.
The total salary requested must be based on a full-time, 12-month staff
appointment and the level of effort proposed. It must be consistent both
with the established salary structure at the institution and with salaries
actually provided by the institution from its own funds to other staff
members of equivalent qualifications, rank, and responsibilities in the
department concerned. If full-time, 12-month salaries are not currently paid
to comparable staff members, the salary proposed must be appropriately
related to the existing salary structure. The award will also provide fringe
benefits on the calculated base salary at the established institutional rate.
2. Research Development Support: It is expected that candidates for a K05
award will have active, independent research support at the time of the award
(see ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS). However, the K05 award provides additional
funds up to $25,000 per year for the following expenses: (a) tuition, fees,
and books related to career development; (b) research expenses, such as
supplies, equipment and technical personnel; (c) statistical and
computational services including personnel and computer time; and (d) travel
to research meetings or training.
3. Ancillary Personnel Support: Salaries for secretaries, technical,
administrative assistants and other ancillary personnel are not allowed.
4. Facilities and Administration Costs: These costs, which were formerly
called indirect costs, will be reimbursed at 8 percent of modified total
direct costs.
E. Other Income: Fees resulting from clinical practice, professional
consultation, or other comparable activities required by the research and
research-related activities of this award may not be retained by the career
award recipient. Such funds must be assigned to the grantee institution for
disposition by any of the following methods:
- The funds may be expended by the grantee institution in accordance with the
NIH policy on supplementation of career award salaries and to provide fringe
benefits in proportion to such supplementation. Such salary supplementation
and fringe benefit payments must be within the established policies of the
grantee institution;
- The funds may be used for health-related research purposes;
- The funds may be paid to miscellaneous recipients of the U.S. Treasury.
Checks should be made payable to the Department of Health and Human Services,
NIH and forwarded to the Director, Division of Financial Management, NIH,
Bethesda, Maryland 20892. Checks must identify the relevant award account
and reason for payment;
- Awardees may retain royalties and fees for activities such as scholarly
writing, service on advisory groups, or honoraria from other institutions for
lectures or seminars, provided these activities remain incidental and
provided that the retention of such pay is consistent with the policies and
practices of the grantee institution.
Usually, funds budgeted in an NIH-supported research or research training
grant for the salaries or fringe benefits of individuals, but freed as a
result of a career award, may not be rebudgeted. The awarding component will
give consideration to approval for the use of released funds only under
unusual circumstances. Any proposed retention of funds released as a result
of a career award must receive prior written approval of the NIH awarding
component.
F. Evaluation: In carrying out its stewardship of human resource related
programs, the NIH may request information essential to an assessment of the
effectiveness of this program. Accordingly, recipients are hereby notified
that they may be contacted after the completion of this award for periodic
updates on various aspects of their employment history, publications, support
from research grants or contracts, honors and awards, professional
activities, and other information helpful in evaluating the impact of the
program.
G. Special Leave: Leave to another institution, including a foreign
laboratory and to the NCI, may be permitted if directly related to the
purpose of the award. Awardees planning a period of leave must submit a
written request to the NCI in advance of the leave. This request must be
countersigned by the appropriate business official at the new
institution/facility. This request must include the reasons for the leave;
and must provide a description of the provisions that will be made to ensure
that the awardee will be able to continue meeting the special requirements of
this award for a suitable research environment and for opportunities to
mentor junior investigators during the period of leave. NCI staff will
review the request and notify the principal investigator and the grantee and
new institutions of the results of this evaluation. If the request is
approved, support will continue during the leave period. Parental leave will
be granted consistent with the policies of the NIH and the grantee
institution.
H. Termination or Change of Institution: When a grantee institution plans to
terminate an award, the NCI must be notified in writing at the earliest
possible time so that appropriate instructions can be given for termination.
If the individual is moving to another eligible institution, career award
support may be continued provided:
A new application for a K05 award is submitted by the new institution;
All conditions of the award are met at the new institution;
The period of support requested is no more than the time remaining within the
existing award period; and
The new application is submitted far enough in advance of the requested
effective date to allow the necessary time for NCI review.
Review of these materials is usually carried out by NCI staff. However,
depending upon the circumstances, the NCI may also require a review by an
initial review group and/or the National Cancer Advisory Board.
The NIH may discontinue an award upon determination that the purpose or terms
of the award are not being fulfilled. In the event an award is terminated,
the Director of the NIH shall notify the grantee institution and career award
recipient in writing of this determination, the reasons therefor, the
effective date, and the right to appeal the decision.
A final progress report, invention statement, and Financial Status Report are
required upon either termination of an award or relinquishment of an award in
a change of institution situation.
INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS
For research projects involving human subjects, it is the policy of the NIH
that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations must be
included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioral research projects
involving human subjects unless a clear and compelling rationale and
justification is provided that inclusion is inappropriate with respect to the
health of the subjects or the purpose of the research. This policy results
from the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993 (Section 492B of Public Law 103-43).
All investigators proposing research involving human subjects should read the
"NIH Guidelines For Inclusion of Women and Minorities as Subjects in Clinical
Research," which has been published in the Federal Register of March 28,1994
(FR 59 14508-14513), and in the NIH Guide For Grants And Contracts of March
18, 1994, Vol. 23, No 11. It is also available electronically at the
following website address:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not94-100.html .
Investigators may obtain copies from these sources or from the program staff
or contact person listed under INQUIRIES. Program staff may also provide
additional relevant information concerning the policy.
INCLUSION OF CHILDREN AS PARTICIPANTS IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS
It is the policy of NIH that children (i.e., individuals under the age of 21)
must be included in all human subjects research, conducted or supported by
NIH, unless there are clear and compelling scientific and ethical reasons not
to include them. This policy applies to all applications submitted in
response to this Program Announcement. All investigators proposing research
involving human subjects should read the "NIH Policy And Guidelines On The
Inclusion Of Children As Participants In Research Involving Human Subjects"
that was published in the NIH Guide For Grants And Contracts, March 6, 1998
and is available at the following website address:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not98-024.html.
As part of the scientific and technical merit evaluation of the research
plan, reviewers will be instructed to address the adequacy of plans for
including children as appropriate for the scientific goals of the research,
or justification for exclusion.

information for the candidate and other key personnel, using Form Page 6-FF
and the Additional Instructions for the Form PHS 398 on Page IV-3. List all
education, professional degree and specialty training.
4. Other Support (Form PHS 398, Page IV-3): Please note that because the
NCI’s use of the K05 grant mechanism requires that candidates have research
support an Eligibility Requirement, this grant is not subject to Just-in-
Time reporting procedures. Therefore, a candidate for a K05 award must have
active research support at the time of and for the duration of the award.
A listing of all sources of active research support and pending research
support for the candidate’s research must be provided, following the format
on Page 7 (Page GG) of the general instructions for the Form PHS 398.
5. Candidate’s Background: See the modified Table of Contents above for
topical headings. The reviewers must have a clear view of your research
background and your experience as a mentor in the field or fields relevant to
prevention, control, behavioral and population sciences. With regard to the
latter, it would be helpful to the reviewers to provide the number of years
of mentoring experience, the capacity in which you served as a mentor (i.e.,
research advisor, research mentor, etc.) and the number of trainees you have
mentored. The reviewers would be able to develop a complete understanding of
your success as a mentor if you describe the types of research that were
conducted by the individuals you mentored and the proportion of individuals
under your oversight who became independent investigators.
6. Career Development Objectives and Justification for a K05 Award: It is
important to convey to the reviewers your reasons for needing protected time
to continue a vital research program and continue to engage in the mentoring
of new scientists. It should be clear that this award will allow you to
spend more time on research and mentoring and less time on administrative and
clinical responsibilities for the institution.
7. Environment and Institutional Commitment to the Candidate: Use the
instructions in Form PHS 398, Page IV-5. Within this part of the
application, it would be helpful to the reviewers to understand what duties
and responsibilities in the institution that you are being relieved of to
focus on research and mentoring AND how the institution will accommodate
these activities with other staff.
8. Research Plan (PHS Form 398, Page IV-6 and General Instructions, Pages
15-16):
It is important to indicate your percent effort on this K05 that will be
devoted specifically to research.
A Research Plan is a REQUIRED component of the application.
a. For most applicants (see ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS), ongoing, preferably
peer-reviewed research support, is required at the time of and throughout the
duration of the K05 award:
There is no need to provide extensive detail with regard to ongoing, funded
research. Enough information should be provided in the areas of Hypothesis
and Specific Aims; Background, Significance and Rationale; Preliminary
Studies and Results; and Research Design and Methods to permit the peer
reviewers to evaluate the extent, special features and general quality of
your research activities.
b. Proposed new research activities:
Describe in reasonable detail how this award will be used to help you refine
your research skills and/or develop new directions for your research. This
should be presented as a Statement of Hypothesis and Specific Aims;
Background, Significance and Rationale; and Research Design and Methods.
This is an important part of the application because it will provide the main
rationale and justification for your need to have protected time for
research.
Although it is likely that most of the described research will be ongoing,
when appropriate the candidate must ensure that the inclusion of women,
members of minority groups and their subpopulations, and children, has been
addressed in the development of the design for all ongoing research. The
candidate must provide for each new research project proposed the information
described in the General Instructions in PHS Form 398 on pages 16-17; and
must provide documentation that these issues have already been adequately
addressed in ongoing research.
9. Mentoring Plan:
It is important to indicate the percent effort on this K05 award that will be
devoted specifically to mentoring.
A Mentoring Plan is a REQUIRED component of the application.
This plan should include a description of the availability of clinicians for
mentoring, the previous training and specialization of these individuals,
plans for recruitment and supervision, the types of educational and research
experiences that will be provided, and the capacity in which the applicant
for the K05 award will serve as a mentor.
