Physician Scientist Transition to Independence in Blood Science Research (R00 - Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of this limited competition R00 program is to provide physician scientists in blood science with a seamless pathway from a mentored K99/R00 award to investigator independence. Eligible applicants will have matriculated through the Career Pathway to Independence in Blood Science Awards for Physician Scientists ( K99/R00) program for up to three, but no more than five years. The strongest R00 applicants will propose an updated, well-conceived plan for 23 years of independent research support intended to prepare the applicant to subsequently compete for an R01 or equivalent award. These research projects are limited to those that fall within the Division of Blood Diseases and Resources mission. The NIH encourages institutions to recruit and retain individuals from groups currently underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, and to enhance the diversity of the clinician-investigator workforce (NOT-OD-15-053).
