Opportunity Summary:
The Mentored Career Development Award to Promote Faculty Diversity/Re Entry in Biomedical Research (K01) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-10-012) is a National Institutes of Health opportunity issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to help grow and strengthen the pool of faculty investigators working in NHLBI mission areas. The central goal is to increase the number of highly trained researchers whose work applies advanced methods and experimental approaches to important problems in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders. A key emphasis is supporting research that is relevant both to the general population and to health disparities populations, with the expectation that awardees will build strong, competitive, long-term research careers in these fields.
This program is designed specifically for faculty members who are currently underrepresented among academic faculty in health-related research at either the national or institutional level, as well as faculty who are re-entering research after a career interruption. The announcement identifies several groups of interest, including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and individuals who have experienced a break in their research career. In practice, the award is meant to provide protected time, structured mentoring, and career development support so that recipients can deepen their expertise, publish, secure independent funding, and establish a sustainable research trajectory within NHLBI-relevant biomedical and clinical science.
The mechanism of support is the NIH K01 mentored career development award. The FOA notes that this call continues and expands an earlier program (RFA-HL-08-015), signaling that NHLBI views the approach as an ongoing strategy for building a more diverse and resilient biomedical research workforce. The project and career development period is expected to last three to five years, reflecting a multi-year runway for skill-building, mentorship, and progression toward research independence.
In terms of funding scale, the FOA estimates about $1.2 million in total costs per year available for the entire program, though the final amount may change depending on the number and quality of applications and on NIH funding availability. NHLBI anticipates making roughly eight to ten new awards, which suggests a competitively reviewed program with a limited number of slots relative to expected interest.
Eligibility to apply is broad at the institutional level and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and independent school districts, along with additional eligible organizations such as Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and eligible federal agencies. The FOA states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of the award (although typical NIH K awards often involve institutional commitments like protected time and mentorship structures as part of the application).
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of June 25, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2009, and an archive date of September 25, 2009. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with multiple CFDA numbers tied to NHLBI and related areas, including sleep disorders research and cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH Grants Guide website, and NIH provided standard technical support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access and linking issues.
