This document is a full announcement for the Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers (MOSAIC) Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity (K99/R00 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) federal grant opportunity.

The purpose of this program is to support a cohort of early career, independent investigators from diverse backgrounds conducting research in NIH mission areas, with the long-term goal of enhancing diversity in the basic biomedical sciences research workforce. The MOSAIC K99/R00 program is designed to facilitate the transition of outstanding postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions at research-intensive institutions, providing independent NIH research support during this transition. MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars will be part of organized scientific cohorts that will participate in mentoring, networking, and professional development activities. Eligible applicants include a range of special district governments, public or Indian housing authorities, tribal organizations, local and state governments, higher education institutions, non-profits, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. This funding opportunity is assigned to multiple NIH grant programs, including those focused on women's health, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis and skin diseases, mental health, and more.
