PAR-25-215-Full-Announcement.html

This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Career Transition Award (K22) administered by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The program provides support for NINDS intramural neurologists and neurosurgeon-scientists to transition into independent academic faculty positions through a two-phase program: first as an NIH intramural appointment followed by support at an extramural institution.

The opportunity (PAR-25-215) is funded under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) and is open to various applicant types including higher education institutions, state governments, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and small businesses. The award aims to support clinician-scientists in developing independent research skills while maintaining clinical activities. The program specifically targets the development of research independence for neurologists and neurosurgeons working within NINDS's intramural program who seek academic faculty positions that combine research and clinical work.
