About this opportunity
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering the Research Specialist (Clinician Scientist) Award (R50) to support exceptional clinician scientists who want to continue participating in NCI-funded clinical trials networks. The purpose of this grant is to provide salary support and autonomy for these clinicians, enabling them to focus on the development, implementation, and national service activities of NCI clinical trials rather than serving as principal investigators. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations such as higher education institutions, non-profits, small businesses, and tribal organizations. The application deadline is November 4, 2025.
The grant awards are intended to sustain the NCI clinical trials enterprise by ensuring career continuity for clinician scientists. Award amounts are not specified, but typical NCI grants range from $200,000 to over $1 million per year for multi-year project periods. The proposed research is expected to be conducted at the applicant organizations' facilities across the United States.
Synopsis
This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) invites grant applications for the Research Specialist Award (R50) specifically for clinician scientists supporting NCI-funded clinical trials research. The Research Specialist Award is designed to encourage the development of stable research career opportunities for exceptional clinician scientists who want to continue to participate in the NCI clinical trials networks through leadership in the 1) development of national clinical trials, 2) implementation of NCI clinical trials in their institutions, and 3) national service to the NCI clinical trials networks through participation in the scientific review committees, monitoring committees and other activities, but not serve as principal investigators of research project grants. These clinician scientists are vital to sustaining the NCI-funded clinical trials enterprise. The Research Specialist Award is intended to provide salary support and sufficient autonomy so that individuals are not solely dependent on NCI grants held by others or other sources of support for cancer research career continuity.
