Opportunity Summary:
The NIDCR Dentist Scientist Career Transition Award for Intramural Investigators (K22) is a National Institutes of Health grant program designed to help highly qualified dentist scientists move from mentored training into independent research careers. It specifically targets dentists who are already working in NIH intramural postdoctoral fellowship positions and gives them a structured pathway to build stronger research credentials at NIH and then launch their own independent research program at an outside (extramural) institution. In practical terms, the award is meant to strengthen the pipeline of dentist investigators in oral, dental, and craniofacial research by supporting both advanced mentored development and the early years of independence.
The program is organized into two distinct phases. The first phase is a mentored intramural research period at NIH that can last up to two years. During this time, the awardee continues to train and publish in the NIH intramural environment, typically focusing on developing deeper technical expertise, producing strong research outputs, and refining a clear scientific direction that can be carried forward. The second phase is an independent extramural period of up to three years, intended to support the awardee after they secure a position at an eligible extramural institution and begin operating as an independent investigator. This second stage provides funding stability during a critical career window when new faculty or equivalent investigators are establishing a lab or research program, generating preliminary data, and positioning themselves for larger long-term awards.
A key point is that the transition from the intramural phase to the extramural phase is not automatic. Moving into the independent phase requires NIDCR approval, and that decision is based on a formal progress review. The review looks at whether the awardee has made sufficient progress during the mentored NIH phase and includes an evaluation of a research plan that will be carried out at the extramural institution. In other words, the award is structured so that the second phase is earned through demonstrated productivity, readiness for independence, and a credible plan for the next stage of the research program.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-12-004) in the NIH health research area, associated with CFDA 93.121 (Oral Diseases and Disorders Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted on October 21, 2011, and the original and final closing date listed is January 7, 2015, with an archive date of February 7, 2015, meaning the announcement is no longer active as a current solicitation in that exact form, though it may have successor announcements.
Eligibility is broad at the institutional level for the extramural phase and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility notes also highlight various institution types that may apply, including Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them) are not allowed, keeping the program focused on building U.S.-based independent research careers.

FAQs: NIDCR Dentist Scientist Career Transition Award for Intramural Investigators (K22)
What is the NIDCR Dentist Scientist Career Transition Award for Intramural Investigators (K22)?
The NIDCR K22 is an NIH grant program designed to help highly qualified dentist scientists transition from mentored training into independent research careers. It is specifically aimed at dentists who are already in NIH intramural postdoctoral fellowship positions and provides a structured path to (1) strengthen research credentials at NIH and (2) launch an independent research program at an eligible extramural institution.
What is the main purpose of this K22 program?
The program is intended to strengthen the pipeline of dentist investigators in oral, dental, and craniofacial research by supporting both advanced mentored development at NIH and the early years of independence at an outside institution.
Who is this opportunity designed for?
It targets dentists who are already working in NIH intramural postdoctoral fellowship positions and who are preparing to move into independent investigator roles at U.S.-based extramural institutions.
How is the program structured?
The award has two phases: (1) a mentored intramural research period at NIH (up to two years), followed by (2) an independent extramural period (up to three years) after the awardee secures a position at an eligible extramural institution.
How long can the intramural (NIH) phase last?
The mentored intramural research period at NIH can last up to two years.
What happens during the intramural (NIH) phase?
During the NIH intramural phase, the awardee continues mentored training and typically focuses on building deeper technical expertise, publishing, producing strong research outputs, and refining a scientific direction that can be carried forward into an independent program.
How long can the extramural (independent) phase last?
The independent extramural period can last up to three years.
What does the extramural phase support?
The extramural phase is intended to support the awardee after they obtain a position at an eligible extramural institution and begin operating as an independent investigator. It provides funding stability during the early independent years when investigators are establishing a lab or research program, generating preliminary data, and positioning themselves for larger long-term awards.
Is the transition from the intramural phase to the extramural phase automatic?
No. Transition to the independent extramural phase is not automatic and requires NIDCR approval based on a formal progress review.
What is required to move from the NIH phase to the extramural phase?
Moving into the extramural phase requires NIDCR approval after a formal progress review. The review evaluates progress made during the mentored NIH phase and includes an evaluation of a research plan to be carried out at the extramural institution.
What factors are considered in the progress review for transition?
Based on the information provided, the review considers whether the awardee has made sufficient progress during the mentored NIH phase, demonstrated productivity, shown readiness for independence, and presented a credible research plan for the extramural stage.
