Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 18 366
The NCI Transition Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K22 - No Clinical Trials) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH career development grant designed to help postdoctoral fellows (or people in equivalent research training positions) make a structured jump into a first independent faculty-level role, typically at the assistant professor level or an equivalent position. The central goal is to support the early stage of independence by providing resources and protected time so an awardee can launch an independent biomedical research program and establish themselves as a research scientist. As the title indicates, this specific K22 opportunity does not support clinical trials, meaning the research and career development activities proposed under this award must fit within NIH rules for "no clinical trials" mechanisms.
This opportunity was released as a discretionary grant program under the NIH, with the funding activity category listed as Education and Health and the CFDA number 93.398. The funding opportunity is identified as PAR-18-366, and it was created on November 20, 2017. The source information provided lists an original closing date of May 7, 2021. (In practice, NIH announcements can be reissued, expired, or replaced over time, so applicants usually confirm the current status and active due dates on the NIH funding page before planning a submission.)
Eligibility is broad on the institutional side and includes many common categories of U.S.-based applicant organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, and special districts), independent school districts, and certain housing authorities. It also includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, as well as nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) along with small businesses. In addition, the announcement explicitly calls out several categories of institutions and organizations as other eligible applicants, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, there are clear restrictions related to foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply as applicant organizations, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. The announcement also states that foreign components, as NIH defines them in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. In other words, the applicant organization and the proposed work must be domestically based without foreign components under NIH policy for this program.
Taken together, the program is best understood as a transition award intended to help promising postdoctoral researchers who contribute to diversity in the biomedical workforce move into independence, secure an assistant professor-equivalent appointment, and build the foundation for a long-term research career, while staying within the "no clinical trials" boundary and the U.S.-based institutional requirements.Apply for PAR 18 366
