Opportunity Summary:
The NCI Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention and Control (K05) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-12-065) is a National Institutes of Health grant program designed to support accomplished, senior researchers who have already demonstrated sustained, high-impact productivity in cancer prevention, cancer control, and related behavioral or population sciences. The central aim of the award is to buy protected time for these established investigators so they can focus more deeply on their research programs while also strengthening their mentoring of other scientists. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant for investigators who have moved beyond early- and mid-career development stages and are recognized for both their scientific contributions and their track record of guiding trainees and junior faculty toward independent research careers.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary grant category and is tied to NIH activity areas that emphasize both research and workforce development. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), and 93.399 (Cancer Control). The structure signals that the award is not only about producing new knowledge in cancer prevention and control, but also about maintaining and expanding the research pipeline by supporting strong mentorship and research leadership. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations and reflects NIH's intent to support research leadership in many institutional settings. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (including those outside higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses, though small businesses are also listed as eligible), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, special district governments, and certain housing authorities. The eligibility list also explicitly includes organizations that commonly serve underrepresented or specific communities, 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 and regional organizations. At the same time, the announcement clearly restricts foreign involvement: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed.
Timeline details show that the opportunity was posted and created on December 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2015, and an archive date of February 7, 2015. That means this specific announcement is no longer open for applications, but it remains useful as a reference point for understanding the goals and requirements of the K05 mechanism as NCI has used it for senior investigator support in cancer prevention and control.
For applicants seeking the full official language, requirements, and any historical application instructions, the announcement provides an NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-065.html). The listed contact support is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), intended primarily for technical issues accessing or linking to the full announcement materials rather than programmatic questions.
