--- ## Description The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging. This program aims to support early-stage physicians and other health professional investigators committed to aging and aging-related diseases. The goal is to advance both research and leadership skills in the applicant’s specialty and the broader field of aging and geriatrics research. This initiative is designed to recruit early-stage investigators who have already demonstrated success as faculty-level Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PI) through competitively awarded research grants, or who have leveraged faculty-level research support to develop independent research lines. Awardees should show evidence of leadership in clinical or research domains and, through this award, be poised to assume leadership roles that can change theory, practice, and health outcomes for older adults. Applications are not being accepted at this time; this is a forecasted opportunity to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to utilize the NIH K76 activity code. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated Application Due Date: June 13, 2026 *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Specific award amounts, ceilings, and duration have not yet been announced. - Details will be provided in the forthcoming NOFO. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - State, county, city, or township governments - Special district governments - Independent school districts - Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized and other) - Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities - Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) - Private institutions of higher education - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) - Eligible agencies of the Federal Government - U.S. territories or possessions - Faith-based or community-based organizations - Regional organizations **Key Investigator Requirements:** - Must be early-stage physicians or health professional investigators. - Must have received competitively awarded research support as a faculty-level PD/PI, or equivalent. - Must show evidence of leadership in clinical or research domains. --- ## Application Process - Applications are not being accepted at this time. - The official NOFO will be published with detailed instructions and requirements. - Potential applicants are encouraged to begin developing collaborations and project ideas in anticipation of the release. --- ## Additional Information - This opportunity will use the NIH K76 activity code for career development awards. - The program specifically targets those ready to become leaders in aging research. - Cost sharing or matching is **not required**. --- ## External Links - [View Forecast on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/360909) - [National Institute on Aging (NIA)](https://www.nia.nih.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | Description | |------------------------|-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | NIA Training and Career Development | [NIAtraining@mail.nih.gov](mailto:NIAtraining@mail.nih.gov) | For questions regarding eligibility or program details |
