NIGMS supports basic research that increases our understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMS' research mission is aimed at understanding the principles, mechanisms, and processes that underlie living systems. It also supports research in specific clinical areas that affect multiple organs, particularly those related to injury and critical illness: sepsis, trauma, burn, wound healing, anesthesiology, and clinical pharmacology. NIGMS will only accept non-AIDS related applications through this NOFO. For more information see https://www.nigms.nih.gov/about/overview/pages/default.aspx.
The application may request up to $5,000 annually to defray the cost of participation in professional meetings (excluding MOSAIC associated meetings, the costs of which will be covered by the UE5 awardees).

Please refer to Research Training and Career Development - Postdoctoral for specific information on NHLBI programs and career development policies.
NHLBI encourages career development award applications that propose mentored training in data science disciplines, including but not limited to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Healthcare Data Analytics, Public Health Data Analytics, Imaging Analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Bioinformatics, for the creation, management, analysis, and integration of complex, large data sets in support of data-driven discovery in heart, lung, blood, and sleep health and disease. Proposals must meet all other requirements specified in the parent announcement.
Eligibility: K99 awardees cannot hold a faculty appointment. If an individual has a faculty appointment and is eligible to apply for independent research funding as the PD/PI of an NIH research grant, he/she is no longer eligible for the K99/R00 mechanism. In addition, if a K99 awardee applies to an independent NIH research grant (or equivalent) during the K99 phase, they will be considered independent and will need to relinquish the K99 award and will not be eligible for transition to the R00 phase. To maintain R00 eligibility, awardees in the K99 mentored phase should discuss any potential changes to their academic appointment with an NHLBI Scientific Program Contact. Physician scientists with a clinical faculty appointment, distinct from their research/academic appointment, may still be eligible and should consult an NHLBI Scientific Program Contact for guidance.
Individuals holding certain Career Development Awards (CDAs) that require a faculty appointment to accept the award (such as the American Heart Association CDA) are not eligible to apply for or receive the K99/R00. If a CDA requiring a faculty appointment is accepted after the submission of their K99/R00 application, the applicant is no longer eligible for the K99/R00. Once a CDA requiring a faculty appointment is accepted, the CDA and faculty appointment cannot be rescinded to accept the K99/R00 award.

NHGRI supports resources, approaches, and technologies that accelerate genomic research focused on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic advances; the structure and biology of genomes; the genomics of disease; the implementation and effectiveness of genomic medicine; computational genomics and data science; and the impact of genomic advances, technology, and implementation on health disparities and health equity. Within these areas, approaches that are comprehensive across the genome or are generalizable across variants, tissues, diseases, or functions may be in scope for NHGRI. NHGRI recognizes the importance of diversity in the genomic workforce, without which the promise of genomics cannot be fully achieved.
Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Scientific Program Contact to discuss their concept for this initiative during the development stages of the application.

NIA participates in NIH-wide programs to increase diversity in the research workforce. The goal of this NOFO is to provide promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds (e.g., see the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity) to transition into independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. NIA welcomes applications in all fields of aging research, including basic science, diseases and disabling conditions of aging, the social and behavioral consequences of an aging society, and topics in between. A particular priority of NIA at the moment is research on Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD).

NIBIB welcomes applications from postdoctoral scientists seeking to establish an independent research career in scientific program areas relevant to NIBIB. In general, NIBIB interests include the development and integration of advanced bioengineering, sensing, imaging, and computational technologies for the improvement of human health and medical care. An application is not within the NIBIB mission if its principal focus is the development of a technology with the goal of understanding basic biological function or pathological mechanisms. Additionally, NIBIB only supports projects developing platform technologies that are applicable to a broad spectrum of disorders and diseases. However, applicants may propose research that utilizes only a single tissue, organ, or physiological condition as a model system to facilitate the development of what is expected to be a more broadly applicable enabling technology.
Before preparing an application, prospective applicants are encouraged to fill out the NIBIB K99/R00 Eligibility Inquiry Form and forward it along with the requested attachments to the Scientific Program Contact in order to verify eligibility, determine if the application is appropriate for a K99 award through NIBIB, and ensure that the application is submitted to the appropriate FOA.

NICHD offers research career development awards in areas relevant to normal and abnormal human development, including contraception, fertilization, pregnancy, childbirth, prenatal and postnatal development, and childhood development through adolescence. The mission areas also include research on intellectual and developmental disabilities and rehabilitation medicine. More detailed information can be found at: http://www.nichd.nih.gov/research/by-nichd/pages/index.aspx.
The K99/R00 program is designed for postdoctoral fellows (PhDs, MDs, or other) whose formal research training is nearly complete, and who expect to find a tenure-track or equivalent faculty position within 2 years of receiving the award. Those whose career development would benefit from further research training should also consider the mentored Career Development Awards offered by NICHD (e.g., K01, K08, K23, K25). Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to email or call the NICHD Scientific/Research Contact to help choose among these career development award mechanisms, to determine K99/R00 eligibility, and to assess relevance of the proposed project to the NICHD mission.
Awardees must spend at least one year on the K99 phase of the award.

Under this NOFO, NINDS supports eligible postdoctoral investigators who will transition to tenure-track faculty (or the equivalent) positions to conduct research in NINDS mission areas. The long-term goal of this program is to enhance diversity in the biomedical research workforce. NINDS will support both an initial mentored research experience (K99) followed by independent research (R00) for highly qualified, postdoctoral researchers, to secure an independent research position. Award recipients are expected to compete successfully for independent R01 support during the R00 phase.
