Career Transition Award for NINDS Intramural Clinician-Scientists (K22 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This NIH/NINDS K22 award supports a two-phase career transition for licensed neurologists and neurosurgeons in the NINDS intramural program, helping them move from an NIH intramural position to an extramural academic faculty position. It is for newly trained clinicians within 4 years of residency or clinical fellowship completion, and applicants must have a clinical doctorate and be eligible by award time to be a U.S. citizen, non-citizen national, or lawful permanent resident. The project period can be up to 5 years, with up to 2 years intramural and the rest extramural; NINDS may provide up to $125,000 per year for salary and $50,000 per year for research development costs during the extramural phase, plus $25,000 per year for intramural career development costs. No cost sharing is required, clinical trials are not allowed as the lead project, foreign organizations and foreign components are not allowed, and only NINDS may apply for the initial mentored phase on behalf of intramural candidates.
