National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
K23 Model Applications
The two attached applications are provided as models for individuals who are
planning to apply for a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development
Award (K23) from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). They
have been posted in response to frequent requests for examples of successful
applications that were highly rated by the Initial Review Group (IRG). One model
is representative of applications focusing on epidemiological patient-oriented
research; the other focuses on blood diseases. The applications are offered
as examples only and should not preclude potential applicants from seeking further
advice from experienced colleagues or from research training staff members at
NHLBI.
The model applications use an earlier version of PHS 398. However, current
applicants should use the newer version of the PHS 398 (rev. 5/01) application.
Information of an identifying and proprietary nature such as the level of effort,
the timetable, the name of the applicant and the names of collaborators, mentors,
and institutions has been removed and replaced with the underline symbol “_____.”
In some instances, the applicant’s name has been replaced with “the
candidate,” and the names of mentors and institutions have been replaced
with “the mentor” or “the institution.” Also, these
model applications do not include the face page; budget pages; biographical
sketch (including documentation of licensure to practice medicine in the United
States); other support; letters of reference; statements by sponsor(s), consultant(s),
and collaborator(s); institutional commitment to candidate; literature cited;
consortium/contractual arrangements; consultants; and appendix pages, all
of these must be included in K23 applications.
