Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (Parent K24 - Independent Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required) (PA-20-192)

NIDCD Specific Information: 
 
NIDCD uses the K24 to support well-established research investigators in an area of research supported by the NIDCD and with active, peer-reviewed, independent research support from the NIDCD at the time of submission interested in mentoring the next generation of basic, clinical and translational investigators in NIDCD’s research areas. 

• Applicants must have mid-career faculty appointment at the associate professor level or higher. 
• Applicants must be part of a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) that will provide resources to facilitate the development of beginning clinical investigators.

Salary Support: Up to the maximum legislative salary cap plus fringe benefits per year, for 25-50% effort.
Research Support: Up to $50,000 per year.


 

NIDA Specific Information:

 NIDA encourages research investigators with an active, peer-reviewed, and independently supported research program in the field of substance use/substance use disorders to consider mentoring the next generation of patient-oriented researchers while also enhancing their own research programs using the K24 mechanism. 

• Applicants must have a mid-career faculty appointment at the Associate Professor level or higher. 
• NIDA limits support under this mechanism to 10 aggregate years; thus, if an applicant has had 5 years of K24 support from another NIH IC, the applicant will be eligible for only 5 years of K24 support from NIDA.  

Potential applicants are encouraged to contact NIDA program staff to determine eligibility and to discuss their interests in this program.

Salary Support: Up to the maximum legislative salary cap plus fringe benefits per year, for 25-50% effort.
Research Support: Up to $50,000 per year. Examples include supplies, equipment, technical personnel, travel, and statistical services.
 

NCCIH Specific Information:

NCCIH uses the K24 program to support midcareer investigators interested in mentoring new/early-stage investigators in clinical patient-oriented research. 

• Before the application receipt date, investigators are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposed research interest with an NCCIH Program Officer in the specific scientific area and/or intervention that is closely-related to the proposed project to confirm its relevance to NCCIH's mission and research priorities. A list of NCCIH program officials can be found at http://NCCIH.nih.gov/grants/contact#area.  
• NCCIH requires applicants to demonstrate a partnership with a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) institutional Consortium, which will provide resources to facilitate the development of beginning clinical investigators. 
• The K24 applicant is required to have at least one active, independent, peer-reviewed R01 or R01-like grant funding, which includes peer-reviewed research grants from other federal sources, private foundations, or industry at the time of application.  The PI is expected to maintain such research grant support during the project period.   
• Applications should describe a research plan that focuses on mentoring opportunities for junior clinical researchers, utilizing currently funded research and previously collected datasets. New research may also be proposed, but should be clearly related to mentoring activities.
