Brief Description:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) will accept applications for the Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08) or Mentored Research Scientist Award (K01) in the area of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research. NIA will offer the K08 or K01 award to support the development of outstanding academic physician scientists. These mechanisms provide support for a period of supervised research and study for either clinically trained professionals with little research experience but who have the commitment and the potential to develop into productive, independent investigators (K08) or for clinically trained professionals with substantial research experience who wish to redirect their career to concentrate on Alzheimer’s research (K01). The award period is three years and must include a plan to obtain and integrate a fundamental and theoretical understanding of dementia with a period of intensive clinically oriented and/or laboratory research. The proposed research should have both intrinsic importance and be a suitable vehicle for learning the skills necessary to become an independent physician-scientist concentrating on dementia research and practice. The scope and nature of the proposed research should also be suitable for potential development into an independently funded research endeavor. Whenever possible the research program should be designed to elicit results that can be translated into clinical practice.
