Opportunity Summary:
The Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) K12 (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-12-209) is a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to support institution-based research career development programs for pediatricians. It uses the NIH K12 mechanism, meaning the award is made to an eligible organization (such as a university or research institution) that then recruits, supports, and mentors a cohort of clinician-scientists rather than funding a single individual directly. The core purpose is to help pediatricians who have finished their clinical training and show strong research promise build the skills, mentoring relationships, and research productivity needed to transition into independent academic research careers.
At the heart of the program is a structured approach to identifying talented pediatric trainees and pairing them with accomplished research mentors. Applicant institutions are expected to run a deliberate selection process to find pediatricians with high potential, then match them with established investigators who have a strong track record of research productivity. In addition to placing scholars into mentored research environments, the program is expected to set clear guidelines and expectations for mentoring and career development. The intent is to create a supportive, accountable pathway that increases the likelihood scholars will successfully move from mentored training into independent, externally funded research positions within academic settings.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the Health (and related) assistance area under CFDA 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research). The announcement indicates an estimated total funding level of $2,000,000 and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 14, 2011, with a final closing date of November 28, 2011, and it was later archived on December 29, 2011.
Eligibility is broad across many types of U.S.-based organizations that can credibly administer a mentored career development program. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and community-serving entities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (including both federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities as specified). Foreign organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed, reinforcing that the program is intended to be carried out within the United States and its territories.
