Executive Summary

The goals of NIH-supported career development programs are to help ensure that diverse pools of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.

  • Purpose: The purpose of the NIH Academic Career Award is to provide support to increase the pool of individuals with academic and research expertise to become academic researchers and to enhance the educational or research capacity at the grantee sponsoring grantee institution.  The Academic Career Award supports Development awards for more junior level candidates and Leadership awards for more senior individuals with acknowledged scientific expertise and leadership skills.
  • Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Academic Career Award (K07) grant mechanism.  Depending on the specific purpose of the award (see Purpose section above) candidates must commit a minimum of 9 person months (75%) (Development) or 3 person months (25%) (Leadership) effort to activities covered under the award.
  • Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: The total amount to be awarded and the number of anticipated K07 awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received as determined by the peer review process, available funds and program priorities.  The amount funded as salary for a K07 award is not uniform throughout the NIH participating Institutes and Centers (ICs); therefore, the applicant is strongly advised to contact the relevant IC for any distinct guidelines, requirements, and allowable funds (see Section VII. Agency Contacts).
  • Budget and Project Period: Applicants may request up to five years of support (at least three years are required for the Development award, and at least two years are required for the Leadership award).
  • Eligible Institutions/Organizations: Institutions/organizations listed in Section III.1.A. are eligible to apply.
  • Eligible Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI): Only U.S. citizens or noncitizen nationals, or an individual lawfully admitted for permanent residence who possesses an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I-551), or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident, are eligible to receive this award.  Candidates must meet this criterion prior to the time of award.  Noncitizen nationals, although not U.S. citizens, owe permanent allegiance to the U.S.  They are usually born in lands that are not states but are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration.  Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible.
  • Number of Applications: Candidates for the K07 award may not have pending or concurrently apply for any other PHS career award.
  • Resubmissions: Applicants may submit a resubmission application, but such application must include an Introduction addressing the previous peer review critique (Summary Statement).
  • Renewals: The K07 award is not renewable.
  • Special Note: The participating NIH ICs may have distinctive guidelines, requirements, and funding amounts for this announcement in order to accommodate the career needs of researchers working in fields related to their specific research missions.  Candidates are therefore strongly encouraged to contact the staff person in the relevant Institute or Center listed in Section VII prior to preparing an application to discuss issues of eligibility and review the specific provisions of this award (Table for IC contact information).
  • Application Materials: See Section IV.1 for application materials.
  • General Information: For general information on PHS 398 Application, see this Web sites: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html.
  • Hearing Impaired: Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088.
