The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is offering this grant to cultivate a robust cohort of new, independent investigators in blood science. This grant aims to facilitate the timely transition of exceptional blood science researchers holding a clinical doctorate from mentored training to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. Specifically, it targets current K99 awardees from RFA-HL-20-001 or RFA-HL-20-002, enabling them to apply for the independent R00 phase. Successful physician scientist scholars will receive up to three years of funding to advance their research, requiring updated research plans and a limited competition review. This program is for the purpose of strengthening the NHLBI’s support for emerging leaders in blood science research.
