The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The Mentored Career Transition Award for NIMH Intramural Fellows (K22) aims to aid in the transition of postdoctoral fellows from the NIMH Division of Intramural Programs (DIRP) into academic tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions within eligible U.S. institutions. This program supports both intramural and extramural phases with mentorship to facilitate the development of competitive, independent research programs. The grant particularly caters to applicants focusing on research without leading an independent clinical trial, highlighting the opportunity to gain experience in clinical trials under mentorship.
