The purpose of the NIA K22 Career Transition Award is to facilitate the transition of mentored, postdoctoral researchers to tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions conducting research that advances the mission of NIA. This award does not provide postdoctoral phase funding; therefore, candidates should be prepared to transition to tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions within 12 months after confirmation of a positive funding decision. After transition to an approved faculty position at an extramural institution/organization, the award will provide three years of protected research time through salary and research support.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed specifically for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial.
