This file is an Application Guide (FORMS-H) for NIH grant applications, specifically for the Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) from the National Institutes of Health. The guidance references both General Instructions and Career Development-specific instructions available in HTML and PDF formats via the NIH grants website, with notes that application form packages may contain optional forms requiring review of the specific funding opportunity announcement for submission requirements.

The K25 award targets investigators with quantitative science and engineering backgrounds (mathematics, statistics, economics, computer science, imaging science, informatics, physics, chemistry) to integrate their expertise into NIH-relevant research. This particular FOA is designed for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, clinical trial feasibility study, or ancillary clinical trial, though applicants may propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. Eligible applicants include domestic public and private nonprofits, universities, hospitals, for-profit entities, tribal organizations, HBCUs, and other specified entity types, with exceptions for non-domestic entities and foreign components. The award provides support and protected time for supervised study and research, with typical project durations of 2-5 years and award ranges from $100,000 to over $1 million in total costs. Applications are submitted through standard NIH mechanisms and must follow both the general application instructions and Career Development-specific filtering criteria identified in the referenced guidance documents.
