Opportunity Summary:
The Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention and Control (K05) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funding opportunity designed to support experienced, well-qualified scientists working in cancer prevention, cancer control, behavioral science, and population-based research. The central goal is to give established investigators protected time so they can focus more heavily on high-impact research while also mentoring and developing newer investigators in these fields. In practical terms, the award is meant to strengthen both the science itself and the research workforce by ensuring senior researchers have dedicated effort available for sustained research leadership and hands-on mentorship.
This opportunity uses the NIH Senior Scientist Award (K05) mechanism. That mechanism is specifically intended for investigators who already have a strong track record and are positioned to provide scientific leadership. The FOA emphasizes protected time, which generally means the award is structured to reduce competing demands and free up the investigator to concentrate on their research program and on mentoring responsibilities, rather than being pulled primarily into other institutional duties. The mentoring component is not presented as optional or secondary; it is a core part of the award's purpose alongside maintaining an active, productive research agenda in cancer prevention and control-related areas.
Funding levels and the number of awards were not fixed in advance. Instead, NCI indicated that the total amount awarded and the number of K05 awards made under this announcement would depend on two factors: the scientific quality and overall merit of the applications received, and the availability of funds at the institute. This kind of language is typical for competitive NIH opportunities where the agency wants flexibility to fund the strongest applications without committing to a specific count.
Administratively, the program was posted on January 22, 2009, under Funding Opportunity Number PAR 09-088, with the title "Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention Control (K05)." It is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity, and it falls under education and health-related funding activity categories, reflecting its combined emphasis on both research and mentoring/training. The CFDA numbers associated with the announcement include 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), and 93.399 (Cancer Control), which signals that the program aligns with both research aims and workforce development priorities in cancer-related science. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organization types. Eligible applicants listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, with noted exceptions), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility information also explicitly mentions additional eligible categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. This breadth suggests the program was intended to be accessible across many institutional settings where cancer prevention and control research is conducted, not solely at traditional major research universities.
The original and current closing date for this archived opportunity was January 7, 2012, and the archive date was February 7, 2012, meaning the announcement is no longer active. For the full archived announcement details, NCI directed applicants to the NIH Grants Guide posting linked in the source.
