Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Academic Career Award (K07), listed under Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-041, is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the academic research workforce and build lasting capacity at the applicant's (sponsoring) institution. Its central goal is to increase the pool of people who have both academic and research expertise and who are prepared to become productive academic researchers. At the same time, the award is meant to enhance the educational and/or research environment at the grantee institution, so the benefits extend beyond the individual awardee and support broader institutional development.
The K07 program is structured around two distinct tracks that match different career stages and institutional needs. The K07 Development Award is intended for more junior candidates who are building toward an independent academic research career, typically emphasizing career development activities that expand research skills, scholarly productivity, and academic readiness. The K07 Leadership Award is aimed at more senior individuals who already have recognized scientific expertise and demonstrated leadership skills; this track focuses more on high-level leadership, mentorship, and building or expanding educational and research programs that elevate the institution's capacity. NIH encourages prospective applicants to communicate directly with the relevant NIH Institute or Center (IC) staff because ICs can differ on program priorities, expectations, and allowable budget details, and the FOA points applicants to the NIH table of Institute and Center contacts for guidance.
This opportunity uses the NIH Academic Career Award (K07) grant mechanism. A key requirement is the level of effort the candidate must commit to K07-supported activities, which depends on the award type. For K07 Development awards, the candidate must commit at least 9 person-months of effort per year (equivalent to 75 percent). For K07 Leadership awards, the minimum commitment is 3 person-months per year (25 percent). These effort commitments reflect the underlying intent of each track: Development awards require substantial protected time for intensive career development and related activities, while Leadership awards recognize that senior leaders often balance multiple institutional responsibilities while still dedicating meaningful time to program leadership and capacity-building supported by the grant.
From an eligibility standpoint, the FOA allows a wide range of applicant organization types. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. It also includes nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the clarification that this category is "other than institutions of higher education"), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. In addition, the FOA explicitly lists other eligible applicant categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, Indian/Native American tribal governments that are not federally recognized, and U.S. territories or possessions. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the awarding agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the funding activity category is Health. The CFDA numbers associated with this opportunity include 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) and 93.866 (Aging Research), which signal that participating NIH components may align this career award with subject areas connected to complementary/integrative health and aging, depending on the specific Institute or Center involved. The announcement was posted on December 11, 2008, with key dates showing an original closing date of January 7, 2012, a current closing date listed as January 7, 2010, and an archive date of February 7, 2010, indicating that this particular FOA version has been archived and is no longer active as written.
