The Mentored Career Transition Award for NIMH Intramural Fellows (K22) is a two-phase, mentored career development program aimed at facilitating the timely transition of qualified postdoctoral fellows in the NIMH Division of Intramural Programs (DIRP) from intramural postdoctoral research positions to extramural, academic tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions at eligible U.S. institutions. Both phases of the award involve mentorship, and research support is provided during the extramural phase to launch competitive, independent research programs. Applicants must propose to serve as lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial as part of their research and career development.
