Opportunity Summary:
The Bernard Osher Foundation/NCCAM CAM Practitioner Research Career Development Award (K01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to build a stronger pipeline of researchers in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The program fits within NIH's broader goal of ensuring the country has a diverse, well-trained scientific workforce to meet biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. In this particular announcement, the priority area is CAM, and the intent is to strengthen research capacity by bringing more clinically trained CAM practitioners into formal research careers.
The core purpose of this K01 is to provide structured, mentored research training for CAM practitioners who already hold clinical doctorates but have had limited access to research training in the past. The award is aimed at candidates who are serious about transitioning into research and who need dedicated time, guidance, and support to develop the skills necessary to become independent investigators. The long-term vision is that CAM research improves when practitioners contribute their real-world clinical knowledge, practical understanding of CAM approaches, and insight into patient care and outcomes.
The award provides "protected time" for intensive, supervised career development and research, meaning the recipient is supported so they can devote a significant portion of their professional effort to training and research rather than being pulled entirely into clinical or other duties. Support can last three, four, or five years, depending on what the proposed career development plan and research activities require. The training and research can be in biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences, as long as the work is clearly related to CAM. Because applicants may propose very different research projects and training needs, NIH anticipates that both the budget size and the project period will vary across awards. The number of awards and total funding ultimately depend on how many applications are submitted and, importantly, their overall quality, duration, and cost.
There are also firm structural limits built into the program. These K01 awards are not renewable, meaning a recipient cannot extend the award beyond the approved project period through renewal. They are also not transferable from one principal investigator to another, so the award is tied to the individual candidate and their career development plan rather than being something an institution can reassign.
Eligibility is specific and somewhat restrictive, reflecting that the award is meant for early-stage clinician-practitioners who are new to research training rather than established NIH-funded investigators. Foreign institutions cannot apply. In addition, the candidate cannot simultaneously submit or have pending another Public Health Service (PHS) career award application (such as K07, K08, K22, or K23) or any other PHS award that duplicates the K01's provisions. Current or former principal investigators on NIH career awards or NIH research grants are not eligible, reinforcing that this opportunity targets candidates who have not yet led NIH-funded projects. The announcement also limits applicants who have already had extensive National Research Service Award (NRSA) training: individuals with more than one year of training on an institutional or individual NRSA at the time they submit the K01 application are not eligible.
From an organizational standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health funding area and is associated with CFDA 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health). No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligible applicant organizations include a wide range of entities, such as public and private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), small businesses, and some for-profit organizations, along with other entities as allowed under the full announcement's eligibility language. The funding opportunity number is PAR-07-003, it was originally posted on October 5, 2006, and it used multiple receipt dates, with details provided in the full NIH announcement. The archived record shows a current closing date of January 7, 2009, and an archive date of January 8, 2009, indicating this specific solicitation is no longer open, though similar NIH career development mechanisms may appear under newer announcements.
For full details, including application instructions and any additional conditions, the announcement directs applicants to the NIH Grants Guide posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-003.html, and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contacts for technical access issues.
