Opportunity Summary:
The Paul B. Beeson Clinical Scientist Development Award in Aging (K08) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help clinically trained faculty build the foundation for an independent research career focused on aging. The core aim is to provide three to five years of structured, mentored support in a strong research environment so that early-career clinician-scientists can deepen their research skills, generate high-quality preliminary data, publish, and ultimately position themselves to compete for independent research funding. The program is explicitly oriented toward developing investigators who will become leaders in aging-related research, with the expectation that awardees will progress from mentored training into independent programs of study.
This opportunity uses the NIH K08 mechanism, which is generally intended for clinically trained investigators pursuing research that is more laboratory-based, translational, or otherwise not strictly patient-oriented in the way NIH defines patient-oriented research. For applicants whose proposed work is primarily patient-oriented biomedical research, NIH points them instead to the companion Beeson award that uses the K23 mechanism (the Paul B. Beeson Mentored Patient Oriented Research Development Award in Aging, AG 10 011). In addition to funding and mentorship, the Beeson K08 program includes an annual meeting, giving awardees a structured way to connect with national-level mentors, network with other Beeson scholars, compare approaches across institutions, and strengthen their long-term professional development in aging research.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement projected approximately $1,000,000 in total funding for fiscal year 2010, with an anticipated 5 to 7 awards. The listed award ceiling is $200,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award (though institutions often still provide protected time, resources, or other support as part of a strong career development environment).
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity issued by NIH under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AG-10-010, titled "Paul B. Beeson Clinical Scientist Development Award in Aging (K08)." It was posted on November 5, 2009, with an application closing date of January 14, 2010, and an archive date of February 14, 2010. The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), 93.859 (Biomedical Research and Research Training), and 93.866 (Aging Research), reflecting the programmatic areas that may align with proposed projects.
Eligibility is broad at the organizational level and includes a wide range of U.S.-based institutions and entities that can apply on behalf of an investigator. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as specified), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other tribal organizations. The announcement also calls out additional eligible categories such as 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. In practical terms, the K08 is typically submitted by an institution sponsoring a specific clinician-scientist candidate, with the institution providing the research setting and the formal mentorship structure that NIH expects for mentored career development awards.
The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site (grants.nih.gov), and NIH provided technical contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster email for access or linking issues.
