Opportunity Summary:
The NCMHD Disparities Research and Education Advancing Mission (DREAM) Career Transition Award (K22) is an NIH career development opportunity designed to help early stage investigators who focus on health disparities move from a mentored phase of training into an independent research career. Its central aim is to strengthen an investigator's ability to lead investigator-initiated research that addresses health disparity conditions and the populations most affected by them. In practical terms, the award is meant to bridge the common gap between postdoctoral or otherwise mentored research work and the point at which a researcher can successfully compete for and run their own independent grants and projects in health disparities science.
The structure of the DREAM K22 is split into two phases. The first phase can last up to two years and takes place within the NIH Intramural Research Program, meaning the awardee conducts study and research in the NIH's own internal research environment. This intramural period is intended to provide concentrated skill building, research productivity, and professional growth in a setting with substantial scientific infrastructure and mentoring resources. After completing the intramural portion, the award can include a second, follow-on phase of up to three additional years that supports the investigator after they move to an extramural setting, such as their current institution or another academic or research organization of their choosing. This second period provides salary support and mentored research support intended to help the investigator establish themselves, build a research program, and make the final push toward full independence.
Mechanistically, the program uses the NIH Career Transition Award (K22) format. The NIH intramural phase is administered under the Intramural Research Program, and moving to the extramural phase is not automatic. Awardees who are approved to proceed to the second phase receive written notification from NCMHD. To activate that second phase, the extramural institution must submit an application on behalf of the candidate so NCMHD can process and issue the funding for the extramural portion. This highlights that the award is both an individual career development pathway and an institutional transition, requiring coordination between the candidate and the receiving organization.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, NCMHD anticipated roughly $1,000,000 total funding under this opportunity, with an expectation of about five awards. Each individual award could be funded up to approximately $200,000, and the final number of awards and total dollars ultimately depend on the quality and merit of applications received. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which reduces the need for institutions to provide mandatory matching funds as a condition of participation.
Eligibility is broad across higher education and nonprofit sectors, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as described in the announcement). The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of institution types that commonly serve populations central to health disparities research, including 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. The overall activity category is health, and the opportunity was issued by the National Institutes of Health, with CFDA listing 93.308.
The specific funding opportunity number is RFA-MD-10-001, and it was posted on December 4, 2009, with key administrative dates showing an original closing date of February 11, 2010, a later current closing date of May 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 24, 2010. The full announcement was hosted through the NIH grants guide, and administrative support contacts were provided through the NIH Office of Extramural Research web team for access or linking issues.
FAQs: NCMHD DREAM Career Transition Award (K22) - RFA-MD-10-001
What is the NCMHD Disparities Research and Education Advancing Mission (DREAM) Career Transition Award (K22)?

What is the main purpose of this K22 opportunity?
The central purpose is to bridge the common gap between postdoctoral or otherwise mentored research and the point at which a researcher can successfully compete for and run independent grants and projects in health disparities science.
How is the DREAM K22 structured?
The award is split into two phases: (1) an intramural phase of up to two years conducted within the NIH Intramural Research Program, followed by (2) a potential extramural phase of up to three additional years at an external institution (for example, the candidate's current institution or another academic or research organization).
How long can the intramural phase last, and where does it take place?
The first phase can last up to two years and takes place within the NIH Intramural Research Program, meaning the awardee performs research within NIH's internal research environment.

Is transitioning from the intramural phase to the extramural phase automatic?
No. Movement to the extramural phase is not automatic. Awardees who are approved to proceed receive written notification from NCMHD.
What is required to activate the extramural phase funding?

Who administers the intramural phase?
The intramural phase is administered under the NIH Intramural Research Program.
What does the DREAM K22 support in practical career terms?

Are minority-serving or community-based institutions explicitly included in eligibility?
Yes. The eligibility language explicitly includes institution types often central to health disparities research, including 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.
