The Secrets to Winning K08 & K23 Awards:
Get ‘Protected Time’ to Enhance Your Career
Instructional Pack: Executive Report + On-Demand Webinar
If you’re looking for grant funding that will provide money for your research and your salary, while giving you some breathing room to do the work you desire, the NIH’s K08 and K23 awards are definitely worth considering. These grants can offer you the funding you need to get results from your research.
Although you can get some research-targeted funding, the K08 and K23 awards are mentored career development awards, not research grants, explains Olga C. Watkins, PhD, assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Primarily, the award programs focus on supporting your development as a scientific investigator in the academic sector.
This instructional pack will cover the specifics of K08 and K23 awards, the reasons why you should apply, the importance of a good mentor, where you will need help, what happens after you submit your application, and much more!

Executive Report —
The Secrets to Winning K08 & K23 Awards: Get ‘Protected Time’ to Enhance Your Career
(a $199 value)
The K08 grant is the “Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award,” while the K23 is the “Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award.” The main difference between these two grants is that the K23 requires direct interaction with human subjects, while the K08 does not.
Because these grants aren’t research awards, your approach in writing the proposal is quite different from writing an R01 or other type of NIH grant. To greatly increase your chances of getting K08/K23 funding, you can take a few pointers from Dr. Watkins, co-author of this executive report.
