About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a Mentored Career Transition Award (KT1/R00) supporting postdoctoral researchers transitioning to independent, tenure-track or equivalent research-intensive faculty positions, with no explicit application deadline stated in this forecast announcement.
The award operates as a biphasic grant providing up to five years of total support: an initial mentored career development phase of one to two years, followed by up to three years of independent research support contingent on satisfactory progress and an approved, independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty position.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations, small businesses, special district governments, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Native American tribal organizations not federally recognized are eligible. Foreign organizations and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are ineligible; however, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed.
The opportunity is assigned to CFDA 93.113 (Environmental Health) under the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The program supports research on how environmental exposures affect biological systems across the lifespan, including mechanistic and epidemiological research on chemical, physical, and biologically derived environmental exposures.
Peer review follows NIH dual-review procedures: study sections assess scientific merit first, followed by advisory council secondary review. Evaluation criteria include scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget necessity relative to project scope, and relevance to program objectives. Awards are subject to three-year record retention requirements and audit provisions.
Forecast synopsis
The biphasic award will provide up to 5 years of support in two phases. The initial, mentored career development phase will provide 1-2 years of support for needed career development to facilitate a timely transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from their mentored postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent research-intensive faculty positions. The second phase will provide up to 3 years of independent research support, contingent on satisfactory progress during the first phase and an approved, independent, tenure-track (or equivalent) faculty position.
