This program funds two years of support for outstanding newly trained basic or clinical investigators to develop as independent scientists at an extramural institution.

Eligible applicants include many U.S. organizations, including nonprofits, universities, governments, small businesses, and tribal organizations; foreign organizations and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. NIAID will provide up to $249,000 in direct costs per year, including up to $50,000 per year for the award recipient’s salary, and indirect costs are reimbursed at 8% of modified total direct costs. No cost sharing is required, and the candidate must commit at least 75% effort; at the time of award, the candidate must hold a full-time assistant professor position or equivalent at an extramural institution and be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or lawful permanent resident.
