Excerpt from introduction to the grant description:

Applicants are strongly encouraged to focus on topical areas unique to CDC, demonstrating how expected results can be used or made available for use to enhance public health and quality of life.  Results should be directly relevant to customers, such as consumers, public health agencies and organizations such as state/local departments of health and community-based organizations, targeted populations, providers and practitioners, administrators, and policymakers. CDC’s Health Protection Goals are:

  • Healthy People in Every Stage of Life - All people, and especially those at greater risk of health disparities, will achieve their optimal lifespan with the best possible quality of health in every stage of life.
  • Healthy People in Healthy Places – The places where people live, work, learn, and play will protect and promote their health and safety, especially those at greater risk of health disparities.
  • People Prepared for Emerging Health Threats – People in all communities will be protected from infectious, occupational, environmental, and terrorist threats.
  • Healthy People in a Healthy World - People around the world will live safer, healthier and longer lives through health promotion, health protection, and health diplomacy.

Applicants are further encouraged to address public health research issues critical to CDC priority populations, including: low-income and minority groups; women, children, the elderly; and individuals with disabilities.

Executive Summary

The primary, long-term goal of the Pathway to Independence (PI) Award program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented NIH-supported independent investigators.  The PI award program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support at an earlier stage than is currently the norm. 

  • The PI award will provide up to 5 years of support consisting of two phases.  The initial phase will provide 1-2 years of mentored support for highly promising, postdoctoral research scientists.  This phase will be followed by up to 3 years of independent support contingent on securing an independent tenure-track or equivalent research position.  The PI award is limited to postdoctoral trainees who propose research relevant to the mission of one or more of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs).
  • The initial application for the mentored phase may be submitted on behalf of the candidate (principal investigator) by any domestic for-profit or non-profit institution/organization such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, and eligible agencies of the Federal government, including NIH intramural laboratories.  Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply.
  • The subsequent application for the independent phase may be submitted on behalf of the awardee (principal investigator) by any domestic for-profit or non-profit institution/organization such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories at which the awardee has been recruited, offered and has accepted a tenure-track, full-time assistant professor position (or equivalent).  Agencies of the Federal Government that are ineligible to apply for NIH research grants (including NIH intramural laboratories) and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply for the independent phase of the PI award.
  • Eligible Principal Investigators include outstanding postdoctoral candidates who have a clinical or research doctorate (including Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.C., N.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., Sc.D., D.N.S., Pharm.D. or equivalent doctoral degrees) and who have no more than 5 years of postdoctoral research training at the time of application.
  • Applicants may submit only one PI award application, and may not simultaneously submit applications or have awards pending for any other PHS career development award (K-series mechanisms) or research grant award (R-series mechanisms). Up to two resubmissions (formerly called amended applications) of an application will be accepted, but all applications must be submitted within the 5-year limit of eligibility.
  • PI award recipients are expected to apply for NIH or other independent research grant support during the later independent phase of the award. 
  • Planning, direction, and execution of the proposed research and career development plans during the K99 phase are the joint responsibility of the applicant and mentor(s).  PI awards are neither renewable nor transferable from one principal investigator to another.
  • It is anticipated that 150 to 200 competing PI awards will be issued for this program in each fiscal year.
  • Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.  Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the relevant IC for budgetary and programmatic information: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/contacts/pa-07-297_contacts.htm.
