Transition to Independence Research Grants

Formerly the Career Transition Grant, these grants promote the careers of academic investigators whose development of an independent research program is focused on solid organ transplantation (and/or immunology related to solid organ transplant). 

The grants support the investigator’s transition to an R-series or equivalent grant.

Applicants cannot be a PI on a previous or current NIH grant to perform independent research.

Applications are accepted in basic, clinical, and translational research. Only applications supporting research directly related to solid organ transplantation will be considered.

Award

Grants are typically awarded in the amount of $100,000-$150,000 total for two years. The number of grants awarded per year is dependent on the amount of available funding.
