Opportunity Summary:
The Reproductive Scientist Development Program (RSDP) K12 is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant opportunity sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). It is designed to build a stronger pipeline of physician-scientists in obstetrics and gynecology by supporting obstetrician-gynecologists who have finished their clinical training and are committed to pursuing basic science research careers in academic medicine. The central idea behind the program is to give promising early-career clinicians protected, mentored research time and structured development so they can successfully move from junior faculty status into independent investigators who can compete for their own research grants and lead productive research programs.
The program emphasizes basic science research that is relevant to obstetrics and gynecology and its subspecialties, with an overall goal of improving the field by accelerating the flow of modern scientific advances into clinical practice. In practical terms, the RSDP is meant to help bridge a common gap in academic medicine: many physicians complete residency and fellowship with strong clinical expertise but limited time and support to develop deep research skills, publish, secure preliminary data, and establish the mentorship networks needed for independence. Through a mentored training experience, the K12 mechanism supports an environment where junior faculty can build rigorous research foundations, develop a track record of publications and grant submissions, and position themselves for independent NIH funding.
This specific opportunity was released as Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-13-015, categorized as a discretionary grant with a health-related activity focus. NICHD anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,800,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally reduces barriers for institutions that want to host and administer the program.
Eligibility to apply was broad across U.S.-based organizations that can administer NIH training and career development infrastructure. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as described in the announcement). The eligibility list also explicitly included a range of mission-driven institutions and community-based entities 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, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the FOA clearly limited eligibility to domestic applicants: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions were not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement) were not allowed under this program.
Key dates reflected that this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. The FOA was posted and created on July 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 15, 2012, and it was archived on December 16, 2012. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), which is the catalog identifier for NICHD extramural activities.
For applicants or institutions that needed help accessing the full announcement or had technical issues with the posting, the notice directed them to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV). The full opportunity text was made available through the NIH grants guide at the link provided in the announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-13-015.html).
