The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is soliciting applications for the Career Transition Award (K22) program to support postdoctoral fellows' transition to assistant professor or equivalent positions and initiate careers as independent research scientists, with applications due January 7, 2028.
