Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (Parent K24 Independent Clinical Trial Required)

The NIH Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research (K24) provides support to mid-career health-professional doctorates for protected time to devote to patient-oriented research and to act as research mentors primarily for clinical residents, clinical fellows and/or junior clinical faculty. This award is designed to support established investigators who have demonstrated success in patient-oriented research and who wish to continue their research careers while mentoring the next generation of clinical researchers. The K24 award provides salary support and protected time for the recipient to conduct patient-oriented research and mentor early-career investigators in clinical research settings. This funding opportunity requires an independent clinical trial as part of the research plan.
