Opportunity Summary:
The Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient Oriented Research (Parent K24) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to strengthen and sustain patient-oriented research by giving established clinician-scientists protected time to both conduct research involving human subjects and to mentor the next generation of clinical investigators. The core idea is to support midcareer health professionals, usually at the Associate Professor level (or an equivalent career stage), who already have an active patient-oriented research program and are positioned to play a major mentoring role for clinicians in training. In practice, this award is meant to help an institution protect a significant portion of the recipient's effort so they can stay productive in human research while providing structured, hands-on guidance to clinical residents, clinical fellows, and/or junior clinical faculty who are building their own research careers.
The opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-195 under the NIH parent K24 mechanism. As a grant (not a contract or cooperative agreement), it supports a career development and mentoring-focused plan rather than paying for a specific stand-alone research project in the way a traditional research grant might. The focus area is explicitly patient-oriented research (POR), meaning research conducted with human participants or on material of human origin where the investigator directly interacts with human subjects. The award targets investigators who have moved beyond early career development but still benefit from structured support to maintain and expand a clinically grounded research program while acting as a key mentor within their department or clinical research environment.
The announcement spans a wide range of NIH mission areas, reflecting that patient-oriented research and clinical mentoring needs exist across many fields. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers associated with this opportunity indicate participation by multiple NIH Institutes and Centers, covering areas such as environmental health, deafness and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep disorders, drug abuse and addiction, mental health, nursing research, cancer, cardiovascular and lung diseases, blood disorders, arthritis and musculoskeletal/skin diseases, diabetes and digestive/kidney diseases, neurosciences and neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, child health and human development, and aging. Because different NIH Institutes and Centers may apply their own priorities and budget parameters, applicants are encouraged to contact relevant NIH program staff for institute-specific guidance, including programmatic fit and allowable budget structures.
In terms of who can apply as an organization, eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based entities such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without it), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, and eligible tribal governments and tribal organizations). The eligibility statement also explicitly includes various mission-driven and community-focused institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the opportunity is restricted to domestic applicants: non-U.S. (foreign) organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, which is an important compliance point for institutions with international affiliations or research sites.
The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants are not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, though institutions often still provide tangible support (such as additional protected time, mentoring infrastructure, space, or administrative support) to strengthen an application and ensure the awardee can meet mentoring and research goals. Administrative details in the record show it was posted on April 8, 2011, with creation metadata dated December 19, 2013, and it includes historical closing dates (originally September 7, 2014; current closing date shown as January 7, 2014) and an archive date of February 7, 2014, indicating the particular posting is an archived opportunity record rather than an open, current competition.
