Description
This program provides institutional mentored career development awards (K12) designed to prepare newly trained clinicians for independent research careers. The aim is to facilitate their transition to advanced NIH support mechanisms (such as K08 and K23 awards). Awards are made to eligible institutions, which then select and appoint scholars to participate in structured research training and mentorship, supporting the development of clinician-investigators in health-related fields.
