NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K08) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K08) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) career development grant designed to help clinically trained investigators build the skills, research record, and mentorship foundation needed to become independent researchers. At its core, the program provides structured, mentored research career development and protected time so that individuals with a clinical doctoral degree can pursue an intensive, supervised research experience. The research scope is broad and includes biomedical and behavioral research as well as translational work, with the overarching expectation that awardees will develop into scientists whose work meaningfully addresses the nation s health related research needs.

A defining feature of this specific NCI sponsored K08 is its emphasis on diversity and cancer equity. It is tailored to promote the career development of racially and ethnically diverse individuals who are underrepresented in health related science, and it also supports individuals who are committed to careers focused on cancer health disparities. In practical terms, the opportunity is intended to strengthen the pipeline of diverse clinician scientists working in cancer related biomedical, behavioral, and translational research, including research aimed at understanding and reducing inequities in cancer outcomes across populations.

This opportunity uses the NIH Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08) mechanism, which is a grant based funding instrument. The funding activity category is listed under education and health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), reflecting its workforce and career development focus rather than support for a large standalone research program. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can reduce administrative and financial barriers for participating institutions.

Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad and includes a range of public and private institutions and organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), and for profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicants 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 entities in a U.S. territory or possession. This framing aligns with the program s intent to expand access and support environments that train and advance investigators from groups that have historically been underrepresented in biomedical research careers.
