Opportunity Summary:
The Senior Scientist Research Award (K05), Funding Opportunity Number PA 12-148, is a discretionary NIH grant mechanism designed to give highly accomplished senior investigators protected time to concentrate on biomedical research that aligns with the mission of the relevant NIH Institute or Center. The core idea behind the K05 is not to launch a new career stage, but to sustain and amplify the impact of established scientists who have already shown a long track record of high productivity. In addition to supporting the awardee's ability to focus on their own research program, the opportunity explicitly emphasizes a mentoring role, with the expectation that the senior scientist will use this protected time to guide and develop new investigators.
This opportunity is administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and falls under the broad activity areas of education and health. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs) and 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), signaling relevance to NIH portfolios that include alcohol, drug abuse, and addiction research, while still reflecting NIH's broader biomedical research mission depending on the participating institute. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to commit institutional matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is institution-based and broadly inclusive across many types of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (including nonprofits that are not universities); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities that are not small businesses); and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Tribal eligibility is also included, covering federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs). The announcement also clarifies that additional categories may apply, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, and regional organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions.
The program has clear restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. In addition, foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. These constraints mean the applicant organization and the proposed work must remain within the allowable domestic scope under NIH policy for this particular funding opportunity.
Key administrative dates listed for the announcement include a posted date of April 12, 2012, a creation date of June 1, 2012, an original closing date of May 7, 2015, a current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013. In practical terms, those dates indicate the announcement was active during that period and has since been archived, so anyone interested in a similar mechanism today would typically look for the current NIH K05 program announcement or any institute-specific reissues.
