The National Institutes of Health (NIH) primary grant mechanism for supporting new and mid-career investigators is the Mentored Career Development Award (a.k.a. K Award). This workshop explores the range of K Award options available, provides an overview of the K Award application process and review criteria, features a K Award application review by a mock study section (that reveals what really goes on behind those closed doors), and includes a step-by-step guide to preparing an outstanding and successful application. These awards are open to US citizens and permanent residents.

The workshop presenters will provide guidance on the applications for K99/R00 awards. So afterwards K award applicants can use the strategies to enhance their probability of success. This award is open to US citizens, permanent residents, and non–US citizens.
