Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits applications from eligible faculty members holding doctoral degrees, such as the Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.V.M., or an equivalent degree, to undertake special study and supervised research under a mentor who is an accomplished investigator in the research area proposed and has experience in developing independent investigators. This FOA is a three-to-five-year non-renewable career development award to support faculty at a minority serving institution. The candidates are faculty members at a minority serving institution, must have research experience (length of time may vary), and be committed to developing into independent biomedical investigators in research areas relevant to the mission of the NHLBI (i.e., cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorders research). Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the K01 grant mechanism and is a continuation of the program named Mentored Career Award for Faculty at Minority Institutions, (K01) (RFA-HL-08-014). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The estimated annual funds (total costs) available for the program are expected to be approximately $300,000.
