Additional Information
The Emergency Medicine Research Career Development Program in Neurological Sciences (EMRCDP-NS) (K12) is an award to an educational institution or professional organization to support a national effort for mentored career development and training of junior emergency medicine (EM) faculty at institutions nationwide that support EM research. The goal of this program is to increase the cadre of EM investigators trained to lead and conduct research into neurological disorders, making use of their EM training and clinical experience. This research career development program should promote high quality, novel, creative research and innovative investigation by this cohort of individuals who possess unique clinical and research skills. As a result of training in this program, highly skilled EM physician-scientists should be prepared to develop a successful, independent, well-funded research program, which they will combine with their clinical career to advance the understanding and treatment of neurological disorders commonly treated in the Emergency Department (ED) setting. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) will fund the administration and infrastructure of one, national EMRCDP-NS for 5 years. It uses the K12 Career Development mechanism, to be overseen by one or more PD/PIs and a national cohort of renowned basic and clinical investigators, to support the career development of EM-researchers at institutions around the country.
This program will be similar in structure to the NINDS Child Neurologist Research Career Development Program (CNCDP) and the Neurosurgeon Research Career Development Program (NRCDP).
Investigators interested in applying in response to this NOFO are encouraged to contact Dr. Stephen Korn, Director of the NINDS Office of Training and Workforce Development, with any questions.
