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.
