NIH Institute or Center Contacts	Institute/Center Specific Information
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Scientific Program Contact: Sandra Colombini Hatch, M.D. Phone: (301) 435-0222 Email: [email protected] Grants Management Contact: Mr. Mark Wilkison Phone: (301) 435-0184 Email: [email protected]	NHLBI Specific Information: Please see NOT-HL-15-261 for additional guidance. Renewal Applications: In addition to new applications, NHLBI will now accept renewal K24 applications that request 3.0 calendar months' (25% of full-time professional effort). Applications requesting more than 3.0 calendar months' (25% of full-time professional effort) will not be reviewed. The NHLBI K24 award may be renewed one time. Individual Eligibility: At the time of application, individuals who are associate professors or full professors within 10 years of their appointment as an Associate Professor are eligible to submit a new NHLBI K24 application. The NHLBI will consider requests to extend the eligibility period for reasons that can include medical concerns, disability, family care responsibilities, natural disasters, and active duty military service. In general, the NHLBI will extend eligibility for a period equivalent to the time away from faculty service. Extensions related to periods of part-time status normally will be prorated to reflect the actual time away from faculty service and normally will be considered only when the appointment is reduced by 50% or more for a sustained period of time. The K24 applicant (new or renewal) is required to have an active, independent, peer-reviewed R01 or R01-like grant funding, which includes peer-reviewed research grants from other federal sources, private foundations, or industry at the time of application. Grants under a no-cost extension do not qualify. The PI is expected to maintain such research grant support during the project period. An individual who holds R01 or R01-like funding, with a major focus on the analysis of large-scale clinical or population data, is eligible to apply provided the patient-oriented research (POR) requirements are met and the PI proposes a research plan that will include POR training opportunities for mentees. Salary Support: Up to the maximum legislative salary cap plus fringe benefits per year, for 25% effort. Research Support: Up to $50,000 per year.

Applicants are typically mid-career faculty at the associate professor level. NIMH will not accept new or resubmission applications from full professors. Applicants must describe their current commitments and justify the need for additional protected research and mentoring time. They must also describe their qualifications to serve as a mentor in patient-oriented research and explain how the K24 award will enable mentoring activities that are above and beyond normal expectations for the applicant's position. The K24 award is intended to promote mentoring of patient-oriented researchers. The award may not be used to support mentoring that is associated with the PI's on-going research projects or to support mentoring of clinical training. To be eligible, the applicant must be one of the named PIs on an active NIMH R01, R37, P01, P20, P30, P50, UM1, U01, U10, U19, or U54 grant. Investigators who are subproject investigators on NIMH P or U series grants, or who are principal investigators on a subcontract of any other grant mechanism, are not eligible. At the time of the K24 award, sufficient time should remain on the qualifying NIMH research project grant that the K24 project period will overlap by at least two years with the NIMH research project grant support (excluding any period of no-cost extension). If the K24 project period will exceed the project period of funded, independent research grant support, a plan for continued independent research support should be provided in the K24 application. If support for the qualifying NIMH research project grant lapses during the K24 project period, the K24 support may be continued for one year after the lapse in funding to allow for a resubmission of the qualifying research application. If the resubmission is unsuccessful, NIMH may terminate the K24 award at that time. See http://www.nimh.nih.gov/funding/training/career-development-programs-k-series.shtml for information about NIMH’s support for K programs. NIMH will not accept renewal (Type 2) K24 applications. Scientists who hold a position with committed salary support for research or whose primary responsibility is administrative must demonstrate a compelling need for a K24 award. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact their NIMH program officer to discuss their interests in this program. Salary Support: Up to the maximum legislative salary cap plus fringe benefits per year, for 25-50% effort. Research Support: Up to $50,000 per year.
