Summary: Supports early-stage clinician-scientists in aging research to develop independent research and leadership skills.
Description
This opportunity, offered by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at NIH, is designed to support early-stage clinician-scientists who are advancing their careers in aging research. The Beeson K76 award aims to foster research and leadership development in both a clinical specialty and the broader field of aging. Unlike other mentored K awards, eligible candidates must have already obtained competitive research support as a faculty-level Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) or have leveraged faculty-level research support to establish an independent research trajectory. The award is specifically for research proposals that do not involve leading an independent clinical trial, though mentored involvement in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor is permitted.
