NIAID Research Career Development Awards
K01: Mentored Research Scientist Development Award
Qualified applicants must have a research or health-professional doctoral degree. This award provides support and “protected time” (3 to 5 years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. Check NIAID’s Funding Opportunities list for current K01 funding opportunities.
K25: Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award
Qualified applicants must have an advanced doctoral degree in a quantitative science field and must be at a postdoctoral to senior faculty level. Additionally, they must demonstrate productivity in their field and must demonstrate intentions to expand their research such that their contributions to behavioral, biomedical, bioimaging, or bioengineering research will increase. Note that there may be restrictions based on past NIH funding - details can be found in the parent K25 notice of funding opportunity.
Featured NIH Funding
Pilot Projects to Enhance the Human Virome Program (R03, Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support pilot projects that extend the goals of HVP, including:
- validating, improving, and complementing existing tools from the HPV program using human specimens from program cohorts,
- animal samples to promote the refinement, utilization, and translation of these tools to better serve the goals of the HVP program,
- expanding existing cohorts and/or biospecimen sampling sites for virome characterization,
- developing tools and methods to study the human virome, and
- defining interactions between the human virome and host.
