National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute
Model K08 Application
The attached Mentored Clinical Scientist Development
Award (K08) application is provided as a model for other applicants in
developing their K08 applications for submission to the National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The Institute receives frequent requests for
"model" applications and this application has been identified by the Initial
Review Group (IRG) and by the NHLBI staff as an exemplary application for use
as a model. Review of this document, however, should in no way preclude the
inexperienced applicant from seeking further advice from experienced colleagues
or from appropriate program personnel at NHLBI.
This model application uses 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.
This model application contains many of the required elements
for a K08 application but it does 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. Note that all K08 applicants must provide
those components in their 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 "_____."
Potential applicants should realize that the applicant in
this model application has dual doctorates and comes to the
K08 program with at least three years of previous research
experience. This applicant has also completed some didactic
course work (graduate courses in biostatistics, cellular and
molecular physiology, etc). Not all potential applicants are
expected to have this extensive didactic and research experience.
They should, however, endeavor to describe their experience
and their career development plans with similar levels of
detail and clarity.
