This addition to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) career

development program announcements (K Awards) provides additional

information for potential applicants on the unique aspects of

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) career

development programs.  The NIH program announcements addressed in

this supplement are PA-95-049, Mentored Research Scientist

Development Award (K01); PA-95-050, Independent Scientist Award

Career Award (K07); and PA-95-053, Mentored Clinical Scientist.

Development Award (K08).



The guidelines and procedure outlined in the NIH program

announcements must be followed closely when an application is being

prepared for submission to the NIAAA.  Particular attention should be

paid to the purpose of each award mechanism, its eligibility

requirements, and its review considerations.



The NIAAA supports only the development, not the leadership award,

aspect of the K07 Award and only for clinical faculty to develop

careers in clinical research and teaching. NIAAA Program Guidelines

for the K07 Award are essential for one to develop a competitive

application and must be obtained from NIAAA staff.  Potential

applicants should contact appropriate NIAAA staff for further

information on this and other K Awards.



The RESEARCH OBJECTIVES section of each program announcement should

be followed carefully during the preparation of an application.  Note

especially that differences exist among various NIH Institutes

regarding allowable costs.  The unique aspects of NIAAA allowable

costs, specifically in the categories of salary (all Ks) and research

development support (K01, K07, K08) or research support (K02, K05),

are listed below.
