Opportunity Summary:
The Multidisciplinary K12 Urologic Research (KURe) Career Development Program (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-12-013) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to build and strengthen the pipeline of independent investigators in urologic research. Through an institutional K12 career development mechanism, it supports structured, mentored research training programs that help early-career clinicians and scientists gain the skills, experience, and professional foundation needed to launch and sustain long-term research careers focused on urology. A key emphasis is preparing scholars to transition toward research independence by developing a strong mentorship environment, a coherent training plan, and a pathway toward future individual research support.
The FOA specifically targets the development of MDs, PhDs, and MD/PhDs who are interested in benign urological disease or broader urologic research, as long as the research areas align with the mission and scientific priorities of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). In practice, this means the supported training and research must fit within NIDDKs urology-related scientific scope, as outlined on the NIDDK urology program areas webpage referenced in the announcement. Rather than funding a single investigators project, the K12 mechanism is meant to fund an institutionally run career development program that recruits and supports multiple scholars over time, typically bringing together multidisciplinary expertise and resources to accelerate their development.
This opportunity falls under a discretionary grant category and is listed under the NIH CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The total estimated funding associated with the announcement was about 2,000,000, with an award ceiling of 600,000 per award. The announcement stated there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, although institutions often still provide significant in-kind support such as protected time, facilities, and mentorship infrastructure.
Eligible applicants are primarily U.S.-based organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a range of nonprofit entities (with or without 501(c)(3) status). The eligibility language also explicitly includes several institution types and community-focused organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions, along with certain Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The FOA clearly excludes non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and also disallows non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations; foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not permitted.
From a timing standpoint, the FOA was posted and created on September 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 29, 2012, and an archive date of December 30, 2012, indicating the competition is no longer active. For reference and details, the announcement points applicants to the NIH Grants Guide webpage for RFA-DK-12-013, and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information for technical issues accessing or linking to the full announcement.
