Transition to Aging Research for Predoctoral Students (F99/K00 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This FOA seeks to foster the development of research and clinician scientists in the following areas: genetic, biological, clinical, epidemiological, neuroscientific, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging, both basic and translational. Successful applicants will be awarded the Transition to Aging Research Award for Predoctoral Students (F99/K00), whose purpose is to facilitate the transition of outstanding and committed graduate students into aging-focused post-doctoral positions.
The F99/K00 award may provide up to six years of support in two phases. The F99 phase provides a minimum of one, and up to two, years of support to doctoral students to complete their dissertation research projects before transitioning into the aging-focused post-doctoral phase (K00). Please note that the K00 phase supports the awardees for up to four years of mentored post-doctoral training; however, the fourth year of award is contingent upon submission of any career development award application (e.g., K99/R00) before the end of the third year of the K00 phase.
