NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Outstanding Early Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00 Independent Clinical Trial Required)
: Each eligible institution (defined as having a unique DUNS number or NIH IPF number) may submit a combined total of three applications to RFA-CA-19-029 and/or RFA-CA-19-030. Additionally, each application must be in a different scientific area as defined below:
A) Data Science
B) Cancer Control Science
C) Other Sciences
Note: Area B, Cancer Control Science, is already taken. The only ones left available are A and C.
The purpose of the NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Outstanding Early Stage Postdoctoral Fellows (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented, NCI-supported, independent investigators. This program is designed for postdoctoral fellows with research and/or clinical doctoral degrees who do not require an extended period of mentored research training beyond their doctoral degrees. The objective of this award is to facilitate a timely transition of these fellows from their mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. The program will provide independent NCI research support during this transition to help awardees to launch competitive, independent research careers. Researchers in the scientific areas of data science and cancer control science are especially encouraged to apply.
Application Instructions
Please submit:
- a one-page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach, and for which scientific area (A or C)
- CV (not NIH format) of the PI
to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Thursday February 7, 2019. Proposals are due to the sponsor 2/26/19, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 2/18/19 for processing, if given the go ahead by the Proposal Review Committee.
Inquiries and Contact Information
Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
