NCI Grant Programs (At-A-Glance)
F31 Predoctoral Individual National Research
Service Award
Provides predoctoral individuals with supervised research
training in specified health and health-related areas leading toward the
research degree (e.g., Ph.D.).
F32 Individual National Research Service
Award (Fellowships)
Provides postdoctoral research training in nonprofit
institutions here and abroad. Applicants must establish their acceptance
by a preceptor and must present a detailed description of the research
project they will undertake as part of their research training. Residencies
may not be supported by this program. Recipients are subject to service
and/or payback requirements.
F33 National Research Service Award for Senior
Fellows
Provides opportunities for experienced scientists to
make major changes in the direction of research careers, broaden scientific
background, acquire new research capabilities, or take time from regular
professional responsibilities for increasing capabilities to engage in
health-related research.
K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development
Award
Provides research scientists with an additional period
of sponsored research experience as a way to gain expertise in a research
area new to the applicant or in an area which would demonstrably enhance
the applicant's scientific career.
K07 Academic Career Award
Provides support for more junior candidates who are interested
in developing academic and research expertise in a specific area or to
support more senior individuals with acknowledged scientific expertise
and leadership skills who are interested in improving the curricula and
enhancing the research capacity within an academic institution.
K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist Development
Award
Supports the development of outstanding clinical research
scientists. It provides specialized study for clinically trained professionals
who are committed to a career in research and have the potential to develop
into independent investigators.
K12 Mentored Clinical Scientist Development
Program Award
Supports newly trained clinicians appointed by an institution
for development of independent research skills and experience in a fundamental
science within the framework of an interdisciplinary research and development
program.
K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career
Development Award
Provides clinical investigators with didactic training and mentored
research experience.
K24 Mid-Career Investigator in Patient-Oriented
Research Award
Provides clinical investigators the opportunity to have
dedicated research time and to mentor other investigators.
K30 Institutional Curriculum Award
Supports the development, conduct, and evaluation of
the curriculum designed to improve the quality of the training available
to aspiring clinical investigators.
P20 Cancer Education Grant
Supports planning for new programs, expansion or modification
of existing resources, and feasibility studies to explore various approaches
to the development of interdisciplinary programs that offer potential solutions
to problems of special significance to the mission of the NIH. These exploratory
studies may lead to specialized or comprehensive centers.
R25 – Cancer Education
Grant
Cancer Education Grants (R25s) support the development and implementation of
programs related to education, information provision, training, technical
assistance, coordination, or evaluation. The NCI supports the following two
distinct Cancer Education programs:
The NCI Cancer Education Grant Program (R25E)
is a flexible, curriculum- driven program aimed at developing and sustaining
innovative educational approaches that will ultimately reduce cancer
incidence, mortality, and morbidity, as well as improve the quality of life
of cancer patients. These awards address a need that is not fulfilled
adequately by any other grant mechanism available at the NIH and are
dedicated to areas of particular concern for the NCI.
The NCI Cancer Education and Career Development
Program (R25T)
is an institutional
grant program that supports the development and implementation of
curriculum- dependent programs to train predoctoral and postdoctoral
candidates in cancer research settings that are highly interdisciplinary and
collaborative.
R25 Cancer Education Grant
Pursues a wide spectrum of objectives ranging from short
courses, seminars, and hands-on experiences for the continuing education
of health care professionals, biomedical researchers, and the lay community;
to structured short-term research experiences designed to motivate high
school, college, medical, dental, and other health professional students
to pursue careers in cancer research; to comprehensive, integrated curricula
and professional education programs within and between academic institutions
intended to develop specialized scientific expertise of critical importance
to the Nation's cancer research effort.
T32 Institutional National Research Service
Award
Supports training opportunities at the predoctoral or
postdoctoral level at qualified institutions. Applicants must have the
staff and facilities for the proposed program. After the award is made,
the institution's training program director is responsible for selecting
the trainees and for administering the program. Residencies may not be
supported by this program.
U54 Specialized Center - Cooperative Agreement
Supports any part of the full range of research and development
from very basic to clinical; may involve ancillary supportive activities
such as protracted patient care necessary to the primary research or R&D
effort. The spectrum of activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack
on a specific disease entity or biomedical problem area. These differ from
program project in that they are usually developed in response to an announcement
of the programmatic needs of an Institute or Division and subsequently
receive continuous attention from its staff. Centers may also serve as
regional or national resources for special research purposes, with funding
component staff helping to identify appropriate priority needs.
U56 Exploratory Grant - Cooperative Agreement
Supports planning for new programs, expansion or modification
of existing resources, and feasibility studies to explore various approaches
to the development of interdisciplinary programs that offer potential solutions
to problems of special significance to the mission of the NIH. These exploratory
studies may lead to specialized or comprehensive centers. Substantial Federal
programmatic staff involvement is intended to assist investigators during
performance of the research activities, as defined in the terms and conditions
of award.
