The NIH Career Transition Award (K22) is designed to help neurologist- and neurosurgeon-scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) transition to independent research roles. This grant supports them in developing their research skills and moving into academic faculty positions where they can conduct scientific research and clinical work. The program has two phases: starting with an appointment at the NIH and then moving to an external institution.
Who it's for: This grant is for neurologist- and neurosurgeon-scientists currently working within the NINDS intramural program who are looking to transition into independent academic faculty roles. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, such as state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses.
