The purpose of these grants is to foster the training of early career investigators who have the potential to contribute to transplant science/immunobiology and/or treatment of transplant recipients. The grants encourage continued commitment of high-quality applicants to their careers in transplantation.
The Early Faculty Development research grant is for investigators within five years of their first faculty appointment. The grant allows investigators to expand on preliminary findings that will become the basis for individual research or career development awards.
Applicants may not hold a concurrent K-series, R00, career development, or other similar awards. Individuals who have been a PI on an NIH grant to perform independent research are ineligible.
Applications are accepted in basic, clinical, and translational research. Only applications supporting research directly related to solid organ transplantation will be considered.
Grants are typically awarded in the amount of $75,000 a year for one year. The number of grants awarded per year is dependent on the amount of available funding.
