Opportunity Summary:
The NIH Academic Career Award (Parent K07) is a discretionary grant program from the National Institutes of Health designed to grow and strengthen the academic research workforce. Its central goal is to expand the pool of individuals who have the academic and research expertise needed to become productive academic researchers, while also building the educational and/or research capacity of the sponsoring institution that hosts the award. In other words, it is both a people-focused award (supporting an individual career trajectory) and an institutional capacity-building tool (improving what the institution can teach, mentor, or do scientifically).
The K07 program supports two general tracks that align with career stage. K07 Development Awards are intended for more junior-level candidates who are still building their academic and research foundation and need structured support to develop into independent academics. K07 Leadership Awards are geared toward more senior individuals who already have recognized scientific expertise and demonstrated leadership skills; these awards typically emphasize broader leadership, program development, and strengthening institutional training or research environments. Because specific expectations and allowable costs can vary by NIH Institute or Center (IC), prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the relevant NIH staff for institute-specific guidance on program fit, budgets, and other requirements.
This opportunity uses the NIH K07 award mechanism, which falls under the broader family of NIH career development-style programs. Awards are not guaranteed; they are contingent on the availability of NIH funds and on the receipt of a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications. The funding announcement identifies the opportunity as PA 10-058 (Funding Opportunity Number: PA 10 058) and lists its activity areas under education and health, with associated CFDA numbers including 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health), 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), and 93.866 (Aging Research). The program does not require cost sharing or matching.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education (including public/state-controlled universities and private colleges), nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and a wide range of governmental entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. Tribal entities are also included, covering federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other Native American tribal organizations. Additional eligible categories explicitly noted include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. The announcement advises applicants to review the “Additional Information on Eligibility” section in the full notice for clarifications that may apply to specific organizational types.

The announcement was ultimately archived (archive date June 7, 2011), and it lists historical closing dates (including May 7, 2011 as a current closing date in the record and an original closing date of January 7, 2013, reflecting how NIH parent announcements can be maintained and updated over time).
