Opportunity Summary:
The Career Development Program in Emergency Care Research (K12) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-16-019) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to help institutions build structured, multidisciplinary career development programs for clinician-scientists working in emergency care research. The central goal is to create an organized training environment that takes clinicians who are early in their research careers and prepares them to become independent investigators and academic leaders in emergency medicine. In practice, this means supporting a program that combines strong mentorship, formal research education, and protected time for scholars to develop rigorous clinical research skills and produce competitive research outputs that position them for future independent funding.
This FOA uses the K12 institutional career development mechanism, which is different from an individual fellowship or career award in that the institution applies to run a program rather than a single trainee applying for their own support. The applicant organization proposes how it will recruit, select, train, and mentor a group of developing clinician-scientists (often referred to as scholars). The program is expected to emphasize high-quality clinical research training relevant to emergency care settings and to draw on a multidisciplinary faculty team. That multidisciplinary angle is important because emergency care research often sits at the intersection of multiple specialties and research traditions, including cardiovascular, lung, and blood-related research topics, as well as nursing and mental health research. The FOA is listed under multiple CFDA numbers (93.242, 93.361, 93.837, 93.838, 93.839), reflecting the broad, cross-cutting nature of the science that may be supported through emergency care research training.
From an applicant standpoint, this is a discretionary grant in the “Education” and “Health” activity categories, signaling that the focus is research career development and training infrastructure rather than a single standalone research project. The FOA anticipated making about three awards, and the estimated total funding level was listed as $250,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally reduces barriers to participation for institutions that might otherwise struggle to commit substantial non-federal funds.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and those without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities (city/township, county, state, special district governments). It also includes tribal governments and tribal organizations, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and other organizations described in the FOA. Additional eligible applicant categories explicitly include minority-serving institutions and other special-designation entities such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, TCCUs, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. The listing also notes that foreign organizations and non-U.S. entities, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions may be eligible, which is broader than many NIH opportunities and suggests NIH’s interest in building capacity and collaboration across a wide set of institutional contexts (though the specific requirements and expectations would be detailed in the full announcement).
The timeline for this particular announcement shows it was posted and created on June 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of October 9, 2015, and an archive date of November 9, 2015. That means the specific competition is no longer open, but the summary still reflects the kind of program NIH was seeking: an institutional platform that reliably develops clinician investigators in emergency care research through mentored training, structured coursework or career development activities, and an environment that promotes progression to independent research careers and academic leadership.
For anyone looking for the full text, NIH provided an official link to the FOA at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-16-019.html, and general technical assistance contacts were listed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster channels for access and linking issues.
