Pomicter, Carolyn (NHGRI)
Release Date: April 13, 1999
PA NUMBER: PA-99-087
Application receipt dates: June 1, October 1, and February 1
The purpose of the Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award
(K25)
is to foster multi-disciplinary research activities by supporting the career
development of investigators with quantitative scientific and engineering
backgrounds outside of biology or medicine who have made a commitment to focus
their research endeavors on behavioral and biomedical research (basic or
clinical). This mechanism is aimed at research-oriented scientists with
experience at the level of junior faculty (e.g., early to mid-levels of
assistant professor or research assistant professor ranks). This award
provides
support for a period of supervised study and research for professionals with
such backgrounds who have the potential to integrate their expertise with
biomedicine and develop into productive investigators. Examples of quantitative
scientific and technical backgrounds outside of biology or medicine considered
appropriate for this award include, but are not limited to: mathematics,
statistics, computer science, informatics, physics, chemistry, and
engineering.
The NIH will provide salary for the award recipient of up to $75,000 per year
plus commensurate fringe benefits. The total salary requested must be based
on a
full-time, 12-month staff appointment. It must be consistent both with the
established salary structure at the institution and with salaries actually
provided by the institution from its own funds to other staff members of
equivalent qualifications, rank, and responsibilities in the department
concerned.
