Opportunity Summary:
The NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Fellows (K22), Funding Opportunity Number PAR 16-267, is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to help highly qualified postdoctoral fellows currently working within the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Division of Intramural Research move into independent research careers at extramural institutions. In practical terms, it is meant to bridge the gap between being an intramural postdoctoral fellow and becoming a new, independent investigator running a research program at a university, medical center, or other eligible external research setting.
The structure of the award is split into two connected phases that together can provide up to five years of combined support. The first phase is a mentored intramural period of up to two years, during which the fellow continues research within the NHLBI intramural program while receiving career development support and building a track record that demonstrates readiness for independence. The second phase is an extramural period of three years, intended to support the awardee after they secure a position at an external institution and begin establishing their independent research program there. This phased design is meant to reduce the career disruption that can happen during the jump from a postdoctoral appointment to a first independent role, by providing continuity of funding and a clear pathway to launch an externally based lab or research effort.
A key feature of this K22 is that the move from the intramural phase to the extramural phase is not automatic. Before the second phase can begin, the awardee must go through an NHLBI progress review. That review assesses how well the research program has advanced during the mentored intramural years and includes an evaluation of the proposed research plan to be carried out at the extramural institution. In other words, continued support depends on demonstrated progress and a credible, well-developed plan for the independent research program that will be established outside NHLBI.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered by HHS-NIH (listed as HHS-NIH11) and falls under the NIH activity category for health. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.233, 93.837, 93.838, 93.839, and 93.840, reflecting its alignment with NHLBI-related research and training activities. The listing indicates that eligibility is not broadly open to all applicant organizations in the usual way and instead is limited (the eligible applicants field points to additional eligibility details), which is consistent with the intent of targeting NHLBI intramural postdoctoral fellows. The opportunity was posted and created on May 17, 2016, with a closing date of May 7, 2018. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards in the provided data, but it clearly emphasizes the programmatic goal: enabling strong intramural postdoctoral researchers to transition successfully into externally based, independent investigator positions through staged support and a performance-based transition review.
FAQs: NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Fellows (K22) - PAR 16-267
What is the NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Fellows (K22)?
The NHLBI Career Transition Award for Intramural Fellows (K22) is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to help highly qualified postdoctoral fellows in the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research transition into independent research careers at extramural institutions.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number for this K22?
The Funding Opportunity Number is PAR 16-267.
Who is this opportunity intended for?
This opportunity targets postdoctoral fellows who are currently working within the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research and who are preparing to move into an independent investigator role at an extramural (external) institution.
What is the main purpose of this K22 program?
The program is meant to bridge the gap between being an NHLBI intramural postdoctoral fellow and becoming a new, independent investigator running a research program at an eligible extramural institution, such as a university or medical center.
How is the K22 award structured?
The award is structured in two connected phases: (1) a mentored intramural phase of up to two years within the NHLBI intramural program, followed by (2) an extramural phase of three years after the awardee secures a position at an external institution.
How long can the award provide support in total?
Together, the two phases can provide up to five years of combined support (up to two years intramural plus three years extramural).
What happens during the intramural (mentored) phase?
During the intramural phase (up to two years), the fellow continues research within the NHLBI intramural program while receiving career development support and building a record that demonstrates readiness for independence.
What happens during the extramural phase?
During the extramural phase (three years), the award supports the investigator after they obtain a position at an extramural institution and begin establishing an independent research program there.
Is the transition from the intramural phase to the extramural phase automatic?
No. The move from the intramural phase to the extramural phase is not automatic and requires an NHLBI progress review before the second phase can begin.
What is the NHLBI progress review for the transition?
The progress review assesses how well the research program advanced during the mentored intramural years and evaluates the proposed research plan for the independent program to be carried out at the extramural institution.
What determines whether the extramural phase will be supported?
Continued support depends on demonstrated progress during the intramural phase and a credible, well-developed plan for the independent research program that will be established outside NHLBI.
Why does this award use a phased approach?
The phased design is intended to reduce career disruption during the jump from a postdoctoral appointment to a first independent position by providing continuity of funding and a clear pathway to launch an externally based research effort.
What types of institutions are mentioned as extramural settings?
