Opportunity Summary:
The Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient Oriented Research (Parent K24) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to strengthen the clinical research workforce by protecting time for established, midcareer clinician-scientists to both advance their own patient-oriented research and serve as active research mentors. The program is aimed at health professionals with doctoral-level clinical degrees (or equivalent) who are generally at the Associate Professor stage or a comparable midcareer level. In practical terms, the K24 is structured to buy back a meaningful portion of the investigator's professional time so they can stay deeply engaged in hands-on, human-subjects research while also building a strong mentoring environment for the next generation of clinical investigators.
A core feature of this opportunity is its dual emphasis: continued productivity in patient-oriented research (POR) and a clearly defined mentoring role. NIH expects K24 awardees to use their protected time not only to conduct and expand their own POR portfolio, but also to mentor trainees who are closest to the clinical pipeline, especially clinical residents, clinical fellows, and junior clinical faculty. The intent is that K24 recipients function as anchors within their institutions, helping early-stage clinicians gain research skills, develop strong study designs, navigate human-subjects regulatory requirements, and build competitive publications and grant applications. In other words, the award is as much about strengthening mentoring capacity and institutional research culture as it is about supporting the awardee's individual research trajectory.
This funding announcement was issued as PA-14-047 and is categorized as a discretionary grant under an education-related activity category, reflecting its career development and training mission rather than a standard investigator-initiated research project format. The opportunity spans a broad set of NIH scientific areas, as reflected by the many CFDA listings tied to different NIH Institutes and Centers, including but not limited to environmental health, communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep research, mental health, alcohol and substance use, nursing research, cancer research manpower, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, blood disorders, arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, child health and human development, and aging. This wide coverage signals that the K24 mechanism is available across many clinical domains, but applicants are expected to align their patient-oriented research focus with the specific priorities and requirements of the NIH Institute or Center most relevant to their work.
Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad within the United States and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, and special district governments. The announcement also explicitly notes eligibility considerations for a range of institution types, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions, among others. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply directly, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components, as defined by NIH policy, may be allowable, which can matter for certain international collaborations or specialized research activities.
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is important for applicants planning institutional commitments, because it indicates that the award does not formally require the applicant organization to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility. At the same time, because K awards generally rely on strong institutional support for protected time and a supportive research environment, applicants typically need to demonstrate that their institution will genuinely safeguard the time the award is intended to protect and provide the resources needed to carry out both the research and mentoring plans.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 19, 2013, with a creation date of May 2, 2014, and it carried an original and final closing date of January 7, 2017, after which it was archived on February 7, 2017. That timeline indicates this particular announcement is no longer open, but it remains useful as a reference point for how the Parent K24 mechanism is described and structured. Because NIH periodically reissues parent announcements and Institutes and Centers can have IC-specific variations, prospective applicants were encouraged (and in most cases still are, for current versions of the program) to contact NIH program staff for guidance on Institute- or Center-specific expectations, budget parameters, and scientific fit. The announcement itself highlights that programmatic and budgetary details can vary by NIH Institute or Center and points to a table of IC-specific information and staff contacts.
