Opportunity Summary:
The Paul B. Beeson Clinical Scientist Development Award in Aging (K08) is a career development grant program run by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), led by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), with additional support from the John A. Hartford Foundation and the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR). Its main purpose is to build the next generation of leaders in aging research by helping clinically trained investigators, most often physicians who are early in their faculty careers, obtain substantial research training and protected time to develop into independent, aging-focused researchers. In practical terms, the award is designed to move a promising clinician from the mentored stage of research into a position where they can sustain their own long-term research program in areas relevant to aging.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant using the NIH K08 mechanism, which is typically aimed at clinicians pursuing a mentored pathway toward becoming independent investigators, often with a strong emphasis on developing skills in patient-oriented research, translational work, or other aging-relevant biomedical and behavioral research domains. The award supports a structured career development plan, usually including mentored research experiences, formal training as needed, and a clear pathway to independence. The overall emphasis is not only on producing a strong research project during the award period, but also on shaping the applicant into a competitive future principal investigator who will continue contributing to the science of aging over the long term.
The funding opportunity number is RFA-AG-13-011, and the opportunity title is "Paul B. Beeson Clinical Scientist Development Award in Aging (K08)." It is listed under health-related funding activities and aligns with CFDA program areas including 93.866 (Aging Research) and 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), reflecting the broad range of research topics that can fall under aging science, including neuroscience and age-related neurological conditions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
A wide range of U.S.-based organizations are eligible to apply. Eligible applicant types include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities that are not small businesses), and multiple levels of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and certain housing authorities. The eligibility language also explicitly includes various mission-focused and community-serving institutions and organizations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, 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. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-U.S. entities are not eligible: foreign institutions cannot apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed under this announcement.
Key timing details in the source listing show that the opportunity was posted on October 3, 2012, created on October 19, 2012, and had an original and current closing date of December 6, 2012, with an archive date of January 6, 2013. That combination of dates indicates this specific announcement is now archived and was tied to that application cycle, though the Beeson K08 concept has historically appeared in NIH funding in various years and forms.
