About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award (KR1) supporting intensive research career development under an experienced mentor for up to five years, designed to prepare candidates with research doctoral degrees for future research independence. No application deadline is specified in this forecast notice.
Eligible applicants include universities, colleges, hospitals, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized), nonprofit research institutions, and for-profit organizations. Native American tribal organizations not federally recognized, faith-based organizations, and eligible federal agencies may also apply. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are ineligible; however, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed within otherwise eligible U.S. organizations.
Candidates must hold a research doctoral degree and have not previously served as principal investigators on PHS-supported research projects. Selected awardees must devote at least 75 percent effort to the award. This is a non-renewable award instrument.
The opportunity falls under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) administered by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Recent awards under this program have ranged from $30 thousand to $3.8 million; individual training awards typically average $50 thousand to $120 thousand. Evaluation emphasizes scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of design, investigator competency, adequacy of facilities and resources, budget justification, and relevance to program objectives. All applications undergo dual review: initial assessment by a study section followed by secondary review by the national advisory council, with final approval by the NIEHS Director. Financial records must be retained for three years from the final expenditure report submission date.
Forecast synopsis
The Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award provides support for a sustained period of protected time (up to five years) for intensive research career development under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
