The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) offers the Career Transition Award (K22) to empower highly qualified postdoctoral fellows within its Division of Intramural Research. This grant aims to facilitate their transition into independent new investigator roles at extramural institutions. The program provides up to five years of combined support, structured into two distinct phases. The initial phase offers up to two years of mentored intramural research, allowing fellows to develop their programs. This is followed by a three-year extramural phase, supporting their research at an outside institution. Transition to the extramural phase is contingent upon a successful NHLBI progress review, including a thorough evaluation of the proposed research plan for the extramural setting. This ensures awardees are well-prepared for independent research careers.

| Description: | The purpose of the NHLBI Career Transition Award (K22) program is to provide highly qualified postdoctoral fellows in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research the opportunity to transition their research programs as new investigators to extramural institutions. To achieve these objectives, the NHLBI Career Transition Award will support two phases of research: a mentored intramural phase (up to two years) and an extramural phase (three years), for a total of five years of combined support. Transition from the intramural phase of support to the extramural phase is not automatic. Approval of the transition will be based on the success of the awardee’s research program during the mentored phase as determined by an NHLBI progress review, which will include an evaluation of a research plan to be carried out at the extramural institution. |
