Opportunity Summary:
The NIH Academic Career Award (Parent K07), funding opportunity number PA 11-192, is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the academic research workforce and build research or educational capacity within the applicant's sponsoring institution. At its core, the program aims to expand the pool of individuals who have both academic and research expertise and who can develop into, or continue as, productive academic researchers. In addition to supporting the career trajectory of the award recipient, the K07 is also structured to create a broader institutional benefit by enhancing teaching, mentoring, curriculum development, research education, or related capacity-building activities aligned with NIH mission areas.
The opportunity supports two main pathways under the K07 mechanism. First, K07 Development awards are geared toward more junior-level candidates who are still building the foundation needed to become independent academic researchers and leaders in their fields. This track is meant to provide protected time, structured support, and a clear career development plan so the candidate can deepen research expertise while contributing to educational or research infrastructure at the institution. Second, K07 Leadership awards are intended for more senior individuals who already have recognized scientific expertise along with demonstrated leadership skills. This track emphasizes the ability of established investigators to provide direction, mentorship, and programmatic leadership that can elevate the institution's overall educational or research capacity, often through broader-scale initiatives and sustained mentoring of other investigators or trainees.
This funding announcement is issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and falls under the health funding activity category. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) and 93.866 (Aging Research), reflecting the general NIH alignment and the potential relevance to multiple NIH Institutes and Centers depending on the proposed focus. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce barriers for institutions that may not have discretionary funds available to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education (including public/state-controlled colleges and universities and private universities), nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as specified), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and certain Native American tribal governments and organizations. The announcement also clarifies additional 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, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the opportunity is explicitly limited to domestic applicants: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not permitted under this announcement.
Because K07 awards can vary by NIH Institute or Center in terms of emphasis, allowable budget elements, and program-specific expectations, prospective applicants are encouraged to contact relevant NIH program staff in advance. The announcement specifically points applicants to NIH Institute/Center-specific information, requirements, and staff contacts, signaling that programmatic fit and budgetary details may differ depending on which NIH component is most aligned with the proposed activities. For applicants seeking the full official announcement and detailed requirements, the funding notice is available through the NIH Grants Guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-192.html. For access or technical issues with the electronic announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
In terms of timing, this opportunity was posted on April 7, 2011, with an original and final closing date of September 7, 2014, and it was archived on October 8, 2014. That means the specific announcement as listed is no longer active for new submissions under those dates, although the K07 mechanism itself has historically existed in various forms and may appear in newer or reissued NIH announcements. For anyone interested in pursuing a K07 now, the practical next step would be to look for the most current Parent K07 funding announcement and confirm the participating NIH Institutes and Centers, current application due dates, and any updated eligibility or policy requirements.
