MIDCAREER INVESTIGATOR AWARD (PA-00-005): POLICIES OF THE NATIONAL
CANCER INSTITUTE
Release Date: June 27, 2000
NOTICE: CA-00-020
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) participates in the NIH Midcareer
Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (i.e., K24) to provide
clinicians protected time to devote to patient-oriented research (POR) and to
act as mentors for beginning clinical investigators. This notice is to inform
potential grant applicants of NCI policy in the following two areas:
1. The NIH Guide Program Announcement
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-00-005.html) under ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS states that Candidates must have independent research support at
the time of application for this award. This support could include NIH awards
or awards from other sources. The NCI interprets this to mean that all
candidates must have independent research support in patient-oriented research
as either NIH awards or awards equivalent to NIH peer-reviewed support. This
would not include support from industry. This interpretation will be used as a
basis for accepting applications for peer review and will be used by the peer
reviewers in the evaluation of applications.
2. The announcement above also states under ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS that
Recipients of this award are required to hold independent research support,
either Federal or private, during the period of this award. The NCI
interprets this to mean that candidates must hold independent patient-oriented
research support as defined above for the duration of the award. However, it
is the policy of the NCI that should recipients of this award lose their
independent research support, they will be given up to one-year to regain it
before the NCI takes any action to terminate the K24 grant.
All other provisions of PA-00-005 remain unchanged. The complete PA can be
found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-00-005.html
