Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (Parent K25 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease. This award will provide support and "protected time" for a period of supervised study and research for productive professionals with quantitative backgrounds to integrate their expertise with NIH-relevant research. • The award is designed for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial. • Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor. • The award will provide support for a period of supervised study and research. • The award is open to various types of applicants, including institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations.
