 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 applications submitted in response to this
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Federal assistance
must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov
(http://www.grants.gov) using the SF 424 Research and Related
(R&R) forms and the SF 424 (R&R) Application Guide.
The SF
424 (R&R) Application Guide for NIH and Other PHS Agencies,
now includes Part 1.7 Supplemental Instructions to the SF
424 (R&R) for Preparing an Individual Research Career
Development Award (CDA) Application ("K" series).
Note in particular that the "Candidate" and "Research
Plan" (sections A-D) combined may not exceed 25 pages.
Please note that this new Application Guide is to be used
with all Adobe application packages, including those for the
K programs.
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.
