Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) provides support and protected time for three to five years for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. This program is designed for individuals seeking career development experiences that lead to research independence. Some NIH Institutes and Centers use the K01 award for individuals who propose to train in a new field or for individuals who have had a hiatus in their research career because of illness or pressing family circumstances. This Funding Opportunity Announcement is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial. Applicants are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
