A scholar may be appointed for up to three years and new scholar(s) can be appointed in the final year of the award provided justification and a training plan for the scholar are submitted and approved by the Program Official. The training plan must emphasize how the scholar’s career will advance, how the scholar’s ongoing research will be supported, and what sources of independent funding will the scholar be encouraged to apply for in the event the K12 is not renewed.

All other aspects of this PAR remain the same.
