Brief Description:
The overall goals of the NINDS Career Transition Award (K22) program are to enable outstanding individuals to obtain a research training experience in the NINDS Division of Intramural Research and to facilitate their successful transition to an extramural environment as independent researchers. The award will provide two to three years of support for research training in a NINDS intramural laboratory followed by two to three years of support for an independent research project in an extramural institution. The combined duration cannot exceed five years. It is anticipated that awardees will subsequently obtain research project grants such as the R01 to support the continuation of their work. The candidate must have a research or a health-professional doctorate or its equivalent, and must have some research experience, during which the potential for highly productive basic or clinical research was demonstrated. The required research experience may have been completed in an intramural NIH laboratory or at an extramural institution. During the intramural phase of the award, the candidate will spend full time on research. To obtain support for the extramural phase, candidates must have a formal tenure-track (or equivalent) offer in an extramural institution. During the extramural phase, the candidate must spend a minimum of 75 percent of full-time professional effort conducting research and research career development activities.
