Opportunity Summary:
The NCI Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K23) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) career development grant designed to help early-career clinician-researchers build the skills, experience, and track record needed to become independent investigators in patient-oriented research. The program is administered through NCIs Diversity Training Branch (DTB) in partnership with the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), reflecting a strong emphasis on strengthening the cancer research workforce while also addressing persistent gaps in representation across biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social science fields. At its core, this K23 focuses on mentored research training for individuals who already hold a health professional doctoral degree and who come from groups that are nationally underrepresented in these research disciplines. The announcement highlights NCIs view that increasing diversity in patient-oriented research is not just beneficial but necessary, both for scientific innovation and for the long-term capacity to reduce cancer health disparities.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-062) falls under the NIH discretionary grant category and is classified as an education and health funding activity, with the CFDA listing 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower). The award mechanism is the NIH K23, which is traditionally used to support intensive, supervised career development centered on patient-oriented research. While the specific training and research plan details are contained in the full NIH program announcement, the intent is clear: provide structured, mentored time and resources so that a clinician-scientist can deepen methodological expertise, produce publishable research, and transition toward research independence in areas directly involving human subjects and clinical investigation relevant to cancer and cancer-related outcomes.
A wide range of applicant organizations are eligible to apply, which makes the program accessible across many institutional settings that support clinical and translational research careers. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. The eligibility language also explicitly includes a number of mission-focused and minority-serving institutional types, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and U.S. territories or possessions. Federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations are included, and regional organizations and eligible federal agencies may also apply. At the same time, the announcement is clear about restrictions on foreign involvement: non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted in December 2014 (Posted Date: December 8, 2014; Creation Date: December 9, 2014) and had an original and current closing date of January 7, 2018, with an archive date of February 7, 2018. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which aligns with typical NIH career development mechanisms where the expectation is institutional commitment and protected time rather than a formal matching contribution.
Applicants looking for the full set of requirements, allowable costs, review considerations, and submission instructions are directed to the NIH funding announcement page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-062.html). For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
