Description
Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits applications to increase the number of highly trained investigators, from diverse backgrounds or who have experienced an interruption in their research careers, whose basic and clinical research interests are grounded in the advanced methods and experimental approaches needed to solve problems related to cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep disorders in the general and health disparities populations. This FOA is a three-to-five-year award to support faculty members who are currently underrepresented on faculty at academic institutions in health-related research on a national or institutional basis, such as individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or individuals who have experienced an interruption in their research careers.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the K01 grant mechanism and is a continuation and expansion of the program named Mentored Career Development Award to Promote Faculty Diversity/Re-Entry in Biomedical Research (K01) (RFA-HL-08-015).
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The estimated annual funds (total costs) available for the entire program are expected to be approximately $1.2 million. The actual amount may vary, depending on the response to the FOA and availability of funds. Eight to ten new awards are anticipated.
