About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health seeks qualified individuals with clinical doctoral degrees to participate in the Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08) program, which supports intensive, supervised research career development experiences in biomedical and behavioral research, including translational research. This program provides recipients with protected time and resources to conduct independent research while developing into productive independent scientists capable of addressing the Nation's health-related research needs. Applicants will be evaluated based on scientific merit, the quality of the proposed research training plan, the competence and commitment of the mentor, the adequacy of institutional resources and research environment, and the relevance of the proposed work to NIH priorities. The evaluation process involves dual review: initial peer review for scientific and technical merit by a scientific review group, followed by administrative review by the relevant National Institute or Center. The application deadline is May 24, 2026.
Award amounts and funding mechanisms vary by institute and research focus area, with typical K08 awards providing support for three to five-year project periods, though specific dollar amounts are not detailed in this announcement. Research activities are expected to be conducted at the applicant institution's facilities, which may include universities, medical schools, research institutes, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, tribal organizations, and eligible for-profit entities nationwide. This funding opportunity is assigned to multiple NIH programs including the Office of Research on Women's Health, Trans-NIH Research Support, Mental Health Research Grants, and other specialized research programs, allowing applicants to align their proposals with various scientific mission areas across the National Institutes of Health.
