About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting awards under the Mentored Clinician Research Scientist Career Development Award (KC1), which provides support for clinician research scientists to pursue intensive research career development under mentorship for up to five years, with no posted application deadline. Candidates must hold a clinical doctorate degree or equivalent, have initiated postgraduate clinical training, and be ineligible if they hold a Ph.D. or have previously served as principal investigators on PHS-supported research. Award recipients must devote at least 75 percent effort to the program.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, higher education institutions (public and private), tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations), state and local governments, small businesses, for-profit organizations, and other eligible entity types. Non-domestic entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are ineligible; foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are permitted.
The award operates under CFDA 93.113 (Environmental Health) through 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 studies of chemical, physical, and biologically derived exposures. Research may also address gene-environment interactions, exposure assessment technologies, community-engaged research, and strategies to reduce exposure burden.
Evaluation criteria include scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget justification, and relevance to program objectives. Applications undergo dual review: initial assessment by a peer study section, followed by secondary review and approval by the NIEHS National Advisory Council. The Director of NIEHS makes final funding decisions. Receipt through approval typically spans six to nine months.
Forecast synopsis
The Mentored Clinician Research Scientist Career Development Award provides support to clinician research scientists for a sustained period of protected time (up to five years) for intensive research career development under the guidance of an experienced mentor. The award is intended to prepare candidates with clinical doctoral degrees for future research independence.
