The NIAID Physician-Scientist Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program offers funding to foster a strong cohort of new, independent physician-scientists. This grant is specifically designed to help outstanding postdoctoral researchers holding a clinical doctorate degree transition from mentored positions to independent, tenure-track faculty roles. It provides crucial NIAID research support, enabling awardees to launch competitive, independent research careers in biomedical fields. The primary goal is to address the national physician-scientist workforce shortage by facilitating this critical career transition. This particular funding opportunity supports research that does not involve the applicant leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary clinical trial. However, participation in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor is permitted.
