Applying for a Career Development Award

<< previous · Advice on Research Training and Career Awards · next >>

Submit your application electronically. Follow the supplemental instructions for K awards in part 7 of the Application Guide SF424 (R&R) – Adobe Forms Version A.

AIDS and non-AIDS applications have different due dates. See the Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications.

Except for the K99/R00 award, you must be a U.S. citizen or have a valid Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551). If you're a non-citizen who has applied for an I-551 and expect to receive it by the earliest award date, you may apply. If you have a student visa or other temporary visa, you're not eligible.
