Opportunity Summary:
The NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Fellows (K22), funding opportunity number PAR-15-341, is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant designed to help exceptional postdoctoral fellows working in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research move from an NIH intramural training environment into independent, faculty-level research careers at extramural institutions. The core aim is career transition: the program is set up so that intramural fellows can mature their research direction under mentorship, then carry that momentum into an outside institution where they will establish themselves as new investigators and build an independent research program aligned with NHLBI mission areas such as cardiovascular, lung, blood, and sleep disorders research.
The award is structured as a two-stage pathway totaling up to five years of combined support. The first stage is a mentored intramural phase lasting up to two years, during which the awardee remains within NHLBI’s intramural program and develops a strong body of work, research productivity, and a coherent independent trajectory. The second stage is an extramural phase lasting three years, intended to support the awardee after securing a position at an eligible U.S.-based extramural institution. This second phase is meant to provide the resources and stability to launch a new lab or independent research program, build collaborations, generate publications, and compete successfully for longer-term NIH funding.
A key point is that the switch from the intramural phase to the extramural phase is not automatic. Continued support depends on a formal NHLBI progress review at the end of (or during) the mentored period. That review evaluates how well the awardee’s research program has progressed and includes assessment of a detailed research plan for the work to be conducted at the extramural institution. In practical terms, the program is not just funding time; it is a milestone-based transition mechanism, where the intramural period is expected to produce clear evidence of readiness for independence and a credible, well-justified plan for the next stage outside NIH.
Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad across the U.S. research and public sector landscape and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit and for-profit organizations (with small business categories noted separately), and various levels of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district). The eligibility language also explicitly calls out a wide range of institution types such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions are not eligible, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy for this opportunity.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a grant in the health funding activity area, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted and created on September 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2016, and it was archived on June 7, 2016. The program is associated with NIH CFDA numbers tied to NHLBI-relevant domains: 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research), 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research).
