| Description: |
The primary, long-term goal of the Pathway to Independence (PI or K99/R00) Award program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented NIH-supported independent investigators. The PI award program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support at an earlier stage than is currently the norm. Support is provided for a total of five years. One or two years of funding is provided to advanced postdoctoral trainees. The trainee then takes the remaining support with him/her when beginning a faculty position in an academic institution. This workshop will provide guidance to NIH postdocs, both U.S. citizens and international scholars, who would like to submit applications to this grant program.
