Opportunity Summary:
The NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22) is a National Cancer Institute career development grant designed to help promising cancer researchers move from mentored, non-independent positions into fully independent faculty roles. The central purpose of this program is to smooth the often difficult jump between being a trainee working under a mentor and becoming a самостоятель independent principal investigator with a tenure-track (or equivalent) appointment. To do that, the award is structured to provide protected time for research by contributing salary support and providing research support once the investigator starts their first independent faculty position. In practical terms, the program is meant to reduce the pressure to immediately cover salary and lab costs through heavy teaching, clinical load, or extensive service obligations, so the new faculty member can focus on launching an independent cancer research program.
A defining feature of this opportunity is the timing and focus of the support. The FOA specifies that the award provides support for the initial three years of the recipient's first independent tenure-track faculty position (or an equivalent independent appointment). That means the funding is tied directly to the transition into independence and is intended to strengthen the early-stage period when a new faculty member is establishing a research direction, generating preliminary data, publishing, building collaborations, and positioning themselves to compete successfully for major independent research grants. The overall emphasis is career development through research independence in cancer-related science, rather than simply funding a standalone research project.
This opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, under the National Cancer Institute, and it uses the grant funding instrument. The Funding Opportunity Announcement is identified as PAR-16-293. It falls under the broad activity area of education and health, reflecting its career development and research workforce focus. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers associated with the program are 93.398, which corresponds to NCI-related assistance programs.
Eligibility, as listed in the source data, is broad at the organizational level and includes a wide range of applicant institution types. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as permitted under the FOA's additional eligibility language. In other words, many kinds of institutions can serve as the applicant organization, which typically means the award is administered through the institution that will host the investigator in their independent role.
Key administrative details from the posting indicate the FOA was created and posted on May 26, 2016, and the listed closing date for the referenced cycle was January 7, 2018. The source data does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards in the provided fields, so those values are not stated here. Overall, the K22 mechanism described in this announcement is best understood as a transition-focused career development award: it aims to accelerate the establishment of independent cancer investigators by underwriting part of the salary and research costs during the first three years of a new independent faculty appointment, thereby giving recipients the time and stability needed to build a competitive, sustainable cancer research program.
