Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCR Dentist Scientist Career Transition Award for Intramural Investigators (K22) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-084) is a National Institutes of Health grant program designed to help highly qualified dentist scientists move from mentored intramural research training into independent, tenure-track (or equivalent) research careers in the extramural community. In practical terms, it supports a two-step transition: first, additional mentored research time while the candidate is still in an NIH Intramural postdoctoral fellowship position, and then a shift to independent grant support once the candidate secures a position at an eligible extramural institution. The overall goal is to strengthen the pipeline of dentist scientists who can lead independent research programs focused on oral, dental, and craniofacial health.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant under the NIH health funding activity area and aligns with CFDA 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants and their institutions are not expected to provide a formal financial match to receive the award. The funding mechanism is intended specifically for dentists in NIH intramural postdoctoral training roles who are preparing to become independent investigators, with the mentored intramural phase providing time and structure to build a strong research direction, publish, develop advanced skills, and assemble a competitive profile for an independent faculty-level role outside NIH.
Eligibility on the applicant-organization side is broad and reflects the kinds of institutions that could ultimately host the awardee as they transition to the extramural phase. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and multiple levels of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district, independent school districts, and certain housing authorities). The announcement also explicitly includes a range of mission-driven and community-focused institution types such as 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), along with faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement may be allowed, which typically means limited, well-justified elements of the work can occur outside the U.S. under NIH rules.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, this funding opportunity was posted on January 8, 2015, with an original and final closing date of January 7, 2018, and it was archived on February 7, 2018. That means the specific announcement as written is no longer open for applications, but it remains useful as a reference for understanding the structure and intent of this particular K22 transition pathway and for locating any reissued or related NIH/NIDCR career development opportunities.
The sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the program sits within NIDCR, the institute focused on oral and craniofacial research. Official details were provided through the NIH Grants Guide (linked in the announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-084.html).
