Grant Description

Purpose: The purpose of the Neurological Academic Development Award (K12) is to facilitate and support the career development of pediatric neurologists who have made a commitment to independent research careers. Under this award, newly trained pediatric neurologists are to be selected and appointed to this program by the grantee institution. It is expected that individuals appointed to the NSADA program will subsequently apply for their own Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08), the Mentored Patient-Oriented Career Development Award (K23), an NINDS Research Scientist Development Award (K02) or a Research Project Grant (R01), Mechanism of Support: This FOA will use the NIH Institutional Research Career Development K12 grant mechanism. K12 programs may not be transferred from one institution to another. (See section VI.2.) This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Institutional Program Award (K12) mechanism. The NINDS K12 program provides support for up to three years of supervised study and research for clinically trained professionals who have the potential to develop into productive, clinical investigators. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards: 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 mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
