Additional Information
The objective of the NIH Career Transition Award (K22) is to provide support to outstanding basic or clinical investigators to develop their independent research skills through a two phase program: an initial period involving an intramural appointment at the NIH and a final period of support at an extramural institution. This NINDS K22 is specifically designed to facilitate the transition of NINDS intramural neurologist- and neurosurgeon-scientists to independent, academic faculty positions that support clinician-scientists to engage in independently funded scientific research as well as clinical activities.
Salary and Research Costs
During the intramural support years, salary will be consistent with that provided by the intramural program for other investigators in the same position. The NINDS intramural program will provide $25,000 per year toward research career development costs of the award recipient. During the extramural support years, NINDS will contribute up to $100,000 per year toward salary and $50,000 per year toward research development costs of the award recipient, which must be justified and consistent with the stage of development of the candidate and the proportion of time to be spent in research or career development activities.
