Description
The NIOSH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) supports early-career researchers seeking career development and research independence in occupational health and safety. This grant provides "protected time" for mentored research, focusing on the transition from postdoctoral training to independent research careers (e.g., R01 funding). Applicants must justify the need for mentored support and describe how the award will enhance their path to research independence.
