Opportunity Summary:
The Transition Career Development Award in Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (K22) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant designed to help early career scientists move from mentored, non-independent research roles into their first independent faculty position. Its central aim is to support researchers whose work will directly inform how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tobacco products, particularly around tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. In practical terms, the award is meant to bridge a common career gap: investigators may be scientifically ready to lead their own lab or research program, but still need stable, protected time and resources during the first years of a tenure-track appointment to firmly establish an independent research trajectory.
This K22 specifically provides protected time by offering salary and research support for the first three years of a recipient's initial independent tenure-track faculty position (or an equivalent independent position). The program is closely tied to the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) regulatory mission and is grounded in the legal authority granted under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. Because of that, applicants are expected to propose projects that align with the FDA CTP's regulatory research priorities, meaning the work should be positioned to generate evidence that can support the development, implementation, or evaluation of tobacco product regulations. The funding for these awards is administered by NIH but supported through funds made available via the FDA CTP and the FSPTCA authority.
Eligibility is narrowly focused on candidates who are still in mentored, non-independent stages of research training but are approaching independence. Applicants must have a terminal clinical or research doctorate and at least two years of postdoctoral research training by the time they submit the initial application. At the same time, they must be within a defined experience window: no more than seven total years of mentored, non-independent research training after receiving their terminal doctorate. The program also excludes individuals who have already received an individual federal career development award, and it is not intended for people who already hold a full-time tenure-track assistant professor position (or an equivalent independent research faculty appointment). There is some nuance for clinically trained faculty: a clinical faculty member who does not hold an independent research faculty position may still be eligible, but NIH encourages those individuals to contact the relevant NIH Institute or Center scientific contact to confirm fit and eligibility. Importantly, mentored investigators working within NIH intramural laboratories are also eligible to apply.
Institutional eligibility includes a broad range of U.S.-based higher education institutions, including public and state-controlled universities, private universities, and other eligible organizations as described in the announcement. The opportunity explicitly highlights eligibility for institutions that serve specific populations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), among others. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed under this funding opportunity.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant under the NIH umbrella, categorized under health research and associated with CFDA number 93.077 (Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act Regulatory Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The specific funding opportunity number is RFA-OD-13-015, and the NIH listing includes key dates from 2013 (posted June 28, 2013; original closing date October 2, 2013; current closing date November 1, 2013; archived December 1, 2013), indicating that this particular announcement is an archived historical FOA rather than an open, current competition. The full original announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site, and NIH provided standard support contacts for technical access and linking issues through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster.
