This is an Application Guide for NIH career development grant applications using the FORMS-H package. The document directs applicants to use either General Instructions or filtered Career Development Instructions depending on the opportunity type. Applicants must consult the specific funding opportunity announcement to determine which form instructions apply, as application packages may contain optional forms with varying submission requirements. The guide references three key resources: the general NIH how-to-apply application guide, the general FORMS-H instructions, and the career development-specific FORMS-H instructions. This document serves as a navigation tool pointing applicants to the appropriate instructional materials rather than providing substantive grant requirements or submission details itself.

The related federal grant opportunity is the Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23), administered by the National Institutes of Health with an application deadline of May 7, 2027. This grant supports career development for individuals with clinical doctoral degrees committed to patient-oriented research. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, small businesses, and state governments, with certain restrictions on foreign entities. The K23 award is assigned to multiple NIH institutes including the Office of Research on Women's Health, Division of Lung Diseases, and Division of Cardiovascular Diseases Research. The grant is structured as a mentored career development award with no independent clinical trials allowed per the "Parent K23" mechanism. Award values, project periods, and specific funding amounts are not detailed in the provided materials.
