Opportunity Summary:
The NHLBI Research Career Development Programs in Emergency Medicine Research (K12) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-11-011) is a discretionary NIH grant designed to help institutions build structured, multidisciplinary training programs that develop the next generation of clinician-scientists in emergency medicine. The central aim is to prepare physicians and other clinically trained investigators for long-term academic leadership roles and independent research careers focused on emergency department (ED) care, particularly where rapid decisions and complex, high-acuity presentations demand specialized research skills and infrastructure.
This FOA specifically targets clinical research training that improves how acute, life-threatening conditions are diagnosed and managed in ED settings. The clinical focus areas emphasized by NHLBI align with its mission and include cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic emergencies, as well as severe trauma. A key theme is supporting research that tests innovative approaches in real-world emergency care environments, where time constraints, patient instability, and workflow pressures make both study design and data collection uniquely challenging.
The K12 mechanism funds institutional career development programs rather than individual fellowships, meaning the applicant organization proposes a mentored training structure and then appoints eligible scholars/trainees into the program. The program is expected to provide comprehensive research preparation, including formal graduate-level or graduate-equivalent training in core clinical research disciplines such as clinical research methodology, epidemiology, health services research, biostatistics, and research ethics. In addition, it stresses practical training in the specialized procedures needed to conduct research in emergency care settings, such as enrolling patients during acute episodes, collecting high-quality data during fast-paced clinical care, and navigating consent and ethical issues that can arise in emergent circumstances.
Operationally, awards are made under the NIH Institutional Research Career Development (K12) grant mechanism, and the FOA highlights an important administrative constraint: K12 programs funded under this announcement may not be transferred from one institution to another. This underscores that the award is tied to the institutional environment, mentorship capacity, and training infrastructure proposed in the application.
From a funding standpoint, NHLBI indicated an intent to commit about $1.08 million in 2011 and approximately $20.79 million in total costs over a five-year period to support up to five new grants under this announcement. The opportunity was posted July 16, 2010, with an original and final closing date of October 7, 2010, and it was archived November 7, 2010.
Eligibility is broad across organizational types, reflecting the institutional nature of K12 programs. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and some without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, with additional eligible applicants including U.S. territories or possessions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity. The program falls under NIH health-related funding activity categories and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). For full details, the announcement directs applicants to the NIH Grants Guide posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-11-011.html and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for technical access issues.
