This Notice is to inform the research community of the early expiration of PAR-24-117 "The NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22 Independent Clinical Trial Optional)" effective November 13, 2025. Instead, the National Cancer Institute intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the NCI Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00 - Independent Clinical Trial optional) that makes significant changes to the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (Parent K99/R00), including expanding the K99 eligibility window from 4 to 6 years of postgraduation research training experience (NOT-CA-24-077). Potential K22 candidates could consider submitting an application in response to the new NCI K99/R00 NOFO for which they may be eligible.
