(FOA)-Maximizing
Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers (MOSAIC)
Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity (K99/R00 -
Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed): February 12, 2019
Agency
NIH
Description
The
purpose of the MOSAIC Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity
(K99/R00) program is to support a cohort of early career, independent
investigators from diverse backgrounds conducting research in NIH mission areas.
The long-term goal of this program is to enhance diversity in the biomedical
research workforce. The MOSAIC K99/R00 program is designed to facilitate a
timely transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse
backgrounds (e.g., see NIH’s Interest in Diversity) from their mentored,
postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent
faculty positions at research-intensive institutions. The MOSAIC K99/R00
program will provide independent NIH research support before and after this
transition to help awardees launch successful, independent research careers.
Additionally, MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars will be part of organized scientific
cohorts and will be expected to participate in mentoring, networking, and
professional development activities coordinated by MOSAIC
Institutionally-Focused Research Education Award to Promote Diversity (UE5)
grantees.
