Opportunity Summary:
The Paul B. Beeson Patient Oriented Research Career Development Award in Aging (K23) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help clinically trained faculty build long-term, independent research careers focused specifically on patient-oriented aging research. The core idea is to provide three to five years of protected, mentored support for early-career clinician-researchers who are working in strong research environments and who have made a clear commitment to conducting research that directly involves human subjects or data derived from patient interactions. Through structured mentorship and a dedicated career development plan, awardees are expected to deepen their research skills, expand their experience in aging-related science, and transition toward independence as investigators leading their own programs of research in aging.
A key feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on patient-oriented research, meaning the proposed work should be directly connected to studies of human participants or clinical populations, rather than being purely laboratory, preclinical, or otherwise not centered on patients. The announcement also points applicants toward a different Beeson award mechanism if their interests are primarily in biomedical research that is not patient oriented: the Paul B. Beeson Clinical Scientist Career Development Award in Aging (K08), referenced as AG 10 010. In addition to the standard mentored award structure, the program includes an annual meeting that creates built-in networking and professional development opportunities, giving awardees a chance to connect with national-level mentors and other Beeson scholars, share progress, and form collaborations.
This funding opportunity uses the NIH Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) mechanism. For fiscal year 2010, NIH anticipated a total program budget of about $1,000,000 and expected to make approximately 5 to 7 awards. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, which signals the maximum amount that could be provided per award under this announcement (applicants typically need to review the full FOA for the exact budget structure and allowable cost categories). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces institutional financial burden and makes the award more accessible to eligible organizations.
Eligibility to apply is broad at the organizational level and includes many types of U.S.-based entities that can serve as the applicant institution for the clinician-researcher. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. The eligibility list also extends to nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The opportunity also explicitly recognizes additional eligible groups 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 practice, the individual candidate for a K23 is typically the clinician-researcher, while the application is submitted through an eligible institution that can provide the required research environment and mentoring infrastructure.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health domain, posted on November 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 14, 2010, and an archive date of February 14, 2010. The funding opportunity number is RFA-AG-10-011, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 93.853, 93.859, and 93.866, reflecting NIH extramural research and training programs relevant to neuroscience/neurological disorders, biomedical research and research training, and aging research. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide, and NIH provided contact points through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) web support for access or linking issues.
