Opportunity Summary:
The Cancer Prevention, Control, Behavioral Sciences, and Population Sciences Career Development Award (K07) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help early-stage investigators build a long-term, independent research career focused on cancer prevention and cancer control, including work grounded in behavioral sciences and population sciences. The central aim is to provide structured support for junior faculty or comparable investigators who already hold a research doctoral degree (such as a PhD) or a health professional doctoral degree (such as an MD or equivalent) and who want to develop into cancer-focused academic researchers. In practical terms, this award is meant to protect time for research and career development, strengthen a candidate's research skills and scientific focus, and support mentoring and training experiences that position the awardee to successfully compete for future independent research funding and to establish a sustained academic research program.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant using the NIH K07 mechanism, which is specifically oriented toward mentored career development. The activity sits at the intersection of education and health, reflecting its emphasis on developing researchers rather than funding a single standalone research project. The funding announcement is identified as PAR-12-067, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), and 93.399 (Cancer Control). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicant organizations are broad and include many types of U.S.-based institutions and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as specified), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and multiple levels of government such as city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and state governments. The eligibility list also includes independent school districts and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. In addition, the announcement explicitly recognizes a range of mission-driven and community-centered institutions as eligible, including 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. Tribal entities are included in multiple forms, such as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, consistent with the eligibility language in the notice.
Foreign participation is restricted. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. The announcement further notes that foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. These restrictions mean that the applicant organization, the funded work, and the core components of the program are expected to be based in the United States or its territories and possessions, without formal foreign subcomponents as part of the award structure.
