Types of CDAs
•! K01: To qualify, you need to be a clinician or Ph.D. in the fields of epidemiology and outcomes research and must have accomplished independent research experience after earning your degree.
•! K08: You are seeking salary and research support for full time supervised career development in health related research that does not involve patients.
•! K12: Provides support to an institution for the development of independent scientists. Most, but not all K12 s focus on the careers of physician scientists (required element in CTSA).
4
Types of CDAs
•! K23: You have completed specialty training and are seeking salary and research support for full time supervised career development in patient oriented research
•! K99/R00: Purpose is to provide an opportunity for scientists to receive both a 1 to 2 year “mentored” K (phase 1) and a 3 year independent “R” (phase 2) in the same award. To qualify, you must have a clinical or research doctorate and no more than five years of postdoctoral research training at the time of application.
•! Diversity Supplements: After administrative review these are added onto a funded grant, with extra resources for the trainee to develop and conduct mentored research
5
Additional Salary Support while
on a CDA •! During the last two years of a mentored career
development award (K01, K08, K22, K23, K25), NIH will permit you to receive concurrent salary support from any peer-reviewed grant from any federal agency, if you meet the following criteria: –! You are a PI on a competing research project grant,
or director of a subproject on a multi-component grant, from NIH or another Federal agency.
–! Your K award is active.
–! Under those circumstances, you may reduce your K award's time and effort to six person months.

Not much we can do about it
! scrap project 3
23
Resubmission
•! Projects (2001)
1. Develop telephone survey to study weight-related health utility, QOL
! led to 2nd R01
2. Cost-effectiveness Analysis
3. Pilot RCT of web-based intervention to improve weight counseling in primary care
•! Mentors
Added Graham Colditz MD, DrPh
Jeff Flier now a secondary mentor 24

Award (K99/R00)
K12 NIH-Wide Objective: The K12 program is supported by several Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The K12 program provides support to an institution for the development of independent scientists. Most, but not all, K12 programs are focused on enhancing the careers of physician scientists.
K18 NIH-Wide Objective: The K18 program is supported by a few Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The K18 program supports: (1) Investigators to obtain the training they need to appropriately use stem cells; or (2) Short-term awards to allow established, well funded clinician investigators to expand research programs to answer questions relevant to the environmental health sciences.
K22 NIH-Wide Objective: The K22 program is supported by a few Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). In general, the K22 program supports an individual postdoctoral fellow in transition to a faculty position. Applicants may be in an NIH Intramural Program. Some ICs also accept applicantions from extramural scientists.
K23 NIH-Wide Objective: This omnibus NIH K23 program is supported by most Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The purpose of the K23 program is to support the career development of investigators who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on patient-oriented research.
K24 NIH-Wide Objective: This omnibus NIH K24 program is supported by most Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The purpose of the K24 program is to provide support for clinician investigators to devote time to patient-oriented research and to act as research mentors primarily for clinical residents, clinical fellows and/or junior clinical faculty.
K25 NIH-Wide Objective: This omnibus NIH K25 program is supported by most Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The purpose of the K25 program is to attract to NIH-relevant research those investigators whose quantitative science and engineering research has thus far not been focused primarily on questions of health and disease.
K99/R00 NIH-Wide Objective: This omnibus NIH K99/R00 program is supported by most Institutes and Centers (ICs) (see below). The purpose of the K99/R00 program is to provide an opportunity for promising postdoctoral scientists to receive both mentored "K" (Phase 1) and independent "R" (Phase 2) support from the same award.
K12 Award Duration: Up tp 5 years. Apppintments of individuals are usually for 1-2 years
K18 Award Duration: From 6 months to 2 years.
K22 Award Duration: 1-2 years (mentored) and up to 3 years (independent)
K23 Award Duration: 3 to 5 years K24 Award Duration: 3 to 5 years K25 Award Duration: 3 to 5 years K99/R00 Award Duration: 1-2 years (mentored) and up to 3 years (independent)
