Section II. Award Information
Other Award Budget Information
Mentored Phase (K99)
The total cost for the mentored phase (K99) may not exceed $100,000 per year at either an NIH intramural or an extramural sponsoring institution site.
Salary Support: NIH will contribute up to $60,000 per year plus fringe benefits toward the salary of the career award recipient for the K99 phase. Further guidance on budgeting for career development salaries is provided in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide. See also NOT-OD-17-094
Research Support: Up to $20,000 per year for the K99 phase.
Intramural: Mentored candidates in the NIH intramural program will be supported by intramural funds provided by the NIH Institute/Center intramural laboratory in which they are conducting their research. Budget details for the mentored phase will be negotiated with the sponsoring intramural laboratory. Salary will be consistent with that offered scientists in similar, intramural NIH positions.
Extramural: Mentored candidates at an extramural sponsoring institution/organization will be supported by NIH extramural funds. The requested salary 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 with equivalent qualifications, rank, and responsibilities in the department concerned. Further guidance on budgeting for career development salaries is provided in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide.
The total salary may not exceed the legislatively mandated salary cap. See: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/salcap_summary.htm.
For mentored (K99 phase) candidates at an extramural institution, Salary Support: NIAMS will provide up to $50,000 per year for salary support (up to $75,000 per year for applicants with an M.D. degree). Research Support: Up to $20,000 per year.
Independent Phase (R00)
The total cost for the independent phase (R00) may not exceed $249,000 per year. This amount includes salary, fringe benefits, research costs, and applicable indirect costs. Indirect costs will be reimbursed at the extramural sponsoring institution's indirect cost rate. Indirect costs requested by consortium participants are included in the total cost limitation.
For independent (R00 phase) candidates at an extramural institution, NIAMS will provide up to $249,000 of support per year (total costs). This amount includes salary, fringe benefits, research costs, and applicable indirect costs. Applicants must obtain an offer for a tenure-track or equivalent position by the end of the K99 phase to be eligible for R00 support.
