Opportunity Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention and Control is an NIH K05 career development grant designed for mid to senior level cancer researchers who are already well established as independent investigators. Its main purpose is to buy protected time so experienced scientists can focus more heavily on two things that are often squeezed by competing responsibilities: advancing their own research programs in cancer prevention, cancer control, behavioral science, and population science, and providing sustained, high-quality mentoring to newer investigators entering these areas. Applicants are expected to clearly explain why they specifically need protected time to meaningfully expand their research and mentoring contributions beyond what their current roles allow.
A central eligibility requirement is that the candidate must have a strong record of independent research support and successful mentoring. By the time the K05 award begins, the investigator must hold an active NIH R01 grant or an equivalent level of independent research funding in a topic area tied to cancer prevention and control. This award is not meant to help someone transition to independence; it is meant to strengthen and extend the impact of investigators who have already demonstrated independence and productivity. Another key restriction is that the applicant cannot apply for, have pending, or hold another NIH career development award at the same time. The program also allows resubmissions, with up to two revisions of a K05 application accepted.
In terms of what the award provides, the K05 supports a portion of the recipient's salary for dedicated effort on research and mentoring, covering 25 percent to 50 percent effort, plus fringe benefits, with salary capped at the current Federal salary limit. In addition to salary and benefits support, the award includes $25,000 per year for research-related expenses. Most applicants are expected to request a 5-year project period, although requests must be for at least 3 years. The award can be renewed one time for up to an additional 5 years, which creates a potential long runway for sustained leadership in research and mentorship if progress and justification remain strong.
Applications are accepted from a broad range of domestic organizations, including public and private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, as well as nonprofit and for-profit entities. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply. On the investigator side, the program is open to individuals with the skills and resources needed to carry out the proposed research and mentoring plan, but candidates must hold a health professional doctoral degree or a research doctoral degree (or an equivalent credential). Candidates must also be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawful permanent residents.
Award decisions depend on standard NIH peer review, with the total number of grants and total dollars ultimately determined by application quality, proposed costs, and available funds. The specific opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number PAR-05-145, administered by the National Institutes of Health under NCI, and it falls under CFDA listings tied to cancer cause and prevention research, cancer research manpower, and cancer control. The announcement used multiple receipt dates and, in the archived record provided, carried closing and archive dates in January 2009, meaning applicants would need to consult the full announcement or current NIH listings for any updated or successor opportunities.

Who is this award intended for?
This opportunity is intended for mid- to senior-level researchers who are already independent and well established. It is not intended for investigators who are still working toward research independence.
Is this award meant to help someone transition to independence?
