Individual Mentored Research Scientist
Development in Genomic Research and Analysis
(K01)
For details see:
http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/Grant_info/Funding/Training/par98061.html
Application receipt dates:
October 1, February 1, and June 1
The purpose of the Individual Mentored
Research Scientist Awards (K01), is to
provide opportunities for highly
qualified scientists who have degrees in
computer sciences, mathematics,
chemistry, engineering, physics and
closely related scientific disciplines,
such as bioinformatics, computational
biology, statistics, biomathematics, or
bioengineering, seeking careers in
interdisciplinary genomic research and
analysis.
Eligibility
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or
equivalent professional degree in a
scientific discipline other than
biology, and show evidence of expertise
in their discipline (e.g., by scholarly
publications or comparable
accomplishments in other settings).
Awardees must be citizens or non-citizen
nationals of the United States, or have
been lawfully admitted to the United
States for permanent residence.
Financial Support/Allowable Costs
The award includes: (1) awardee's salary
up to a maximum of $ 166,700 for
full-time professional effort for a
12-month appointment. The requested
salary must be consistent with the
established salary structure at the
institution. (2) research development
support up to a maximum of $20,000 per
year. (3) tuition.
Award Duration
The project period may be for three to
five years. Awards are not renewable.

Mentored Quantitative Research Career
Development Award (K25)
For details see:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-99-087.html
Application receipt dates:
October 1, February 1, and June 1
The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative
Research Career Development Award (K25)
is to support the career development of
investigators with quantitative
scientific and engineering backgrounds
outside of biology or medicine (e.g.
mathematics, statistics, computer
science, informatics, physics,
chemistry, or engineering), who have
made a commitment to focus their
research endeavors on behavioral and
biomedical research (basic or clinical).
This mechanism is aimed at
research-oriented scientists with
experience at the level of junior
faculty (e.g., early to mid-levels of
assistant professor or research
assistant professor ranks). This award
provides support for a period of
supervised study and research for
professionals with such backgrounds who
have the potential to integrate their
expertise with biomedicine and develop
into productive investigators.
Eligibility
Applicants must have demonstrated
research interests with an advanced
degree in a quantitative area of science
or engineering (M.S.E.E., Ph.D., D.Sc.,
etc). Awardees must be citizens or
non-citizen nationals of the United
States, or have been lawfully admitted
to the United States for permanent
residence.
Financial Support/Allowable Costs
The award includes: (1) awardee's salary
up $75,000 plus commensurate fringe
benefits. The total salary requested
must be based on a full-time, 12-month
staff appointment. It must be consistent
with the established salary structure at
the institution; (2) research
development support generally provided
up to $40,000 per year.
Award Duration
The project period may be for three to
five years. Awards are not renewable.

Genome Scholar Development and Faculty
Transition Award (K22)
For details see:
http://www.nhgri.nih.gov:80/Grant_info/Funding/Training/PAR-99-022.html
Application receipt dates:
October 1, February 1, and June 1
The purpose of the National Human Genome
Research Institute (NHGRI) Genome
Scholar Development and Faculty
Transition Award is to enable promising
new genome researchers to establish an
independent research program in genomic
research and analysis and to secure a
tenure-track appointment in an academic
institution in the United States. This
is accomplished by providing the
necessary resources to initiate an
independent research program as a Genome
Scholar in an extramural or a National
Institutes of Health (NIH) intramural
laboratory, for up to two years,
followed by funding of their extramural
research program, up to four years, at
an extramural institution to which
she/he has been recruited as
tenure-track faculty. The total number
of years for both phases of the award
cannot exceed five. This award has two
phases--a Genome Scholar Development
Phase and a Faculty Transition Phase.
Applicants may apply for both phases or
for the Faculty Transition Phase only.
It is anticipated that awardees will
subsequently obtain a research project
grant (R01) to support the continuation
of their research.
Eligibility
Applicants must: (1) have no more than
five years postdoctoral experience at
the time, if applying for the combined
Genome Scholar Development and Faculty
Transition Award; (2) have no more than
six years postdoctoral experience at the
time, if applying for a Faculty
Transition Award only; (3) be in a
postdoctoral or equivalent position at
the time of applying for either award.
Awardees must be citizens or non-citizen
nationals of the United States, or have
been lawfully admitted to the United
States for permanent residence.
Financial support/Allowable Costs
Scholar Development Phase: The budget
for this phase will be limited to no
more than $150,000 per year in direct
costs. Faculty Transition Phase: The
budget for the Faculty Transition Phase
may not exceed $250,000 per year in
direct costs.
Award Duration
Individuals may apply for the combined
Genome Scholar Development Phase and the
Faculty Transition Phase or the Faculty
Transition Phase only. The duration of
the combined award is a maximum of five
years; the duration of the Faculty
Transition Phase only is up to four
years.

Availability of Fellowships for Genomic
Research and Analysis and Ethical, Legal and
Social Implications
The National Human Genome Research
Institute, National Institutes of
Health, is offering individual
fellowships to highly qualified students
and scientists who are seeking training
that will enable them to engage in
research relevant to the Human Genome
Project. Training of scholars in
examining the ethical, legal and social
implications of human genome research is
also encouraged, but is not available
for pre-doctoral students.
Three types of fellowships are offered:
-
Pre-doctoral Minority fellowships
for graduate students with
disabilities and underrepresented
minority graduate students to pursue
a doctoral degree. The application
receipt dates are November 15 and
May 1.
-
Postdoctoral fellowships for
individuals who have received their
doctoral degree within the last
seven years. The application receipt
dates are December 5, April 5, and
August 5.
-
Senior postdoctoral fellowships for
individuals who received their
doctoral degree more than seven
years ago. The application receipt
dates are December 5, April 5, and
August 5.
Fellowship support is provided through
the National Research Service Award.
Only U.S. citizens or permanent
residents of the United States are
eligible to apply.
