NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Trainees (K22 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This funding opportunity provides highly qualified postdoctoral fellows and other doctoral-level researchers currently in training in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research with the opportunity to transition their research programs to extramural institutions as junior investigators. The K22 Career Transition Award is designed to support the career development of promising researchers who are transitioning from NIH intramural training positions to independent faculty positions at extramural institutions. This award facilitates the establishment of independent research programs focused on heart, lung, blood diseases, and sleep disorders research. The program aims to retain talented researchers within the biomedical research community by providing critical support during this important career transition period.
