During this educational pack, your expert presenters dig into the different NIH training and career development programs, discuss what programs are tailored to specific individuals during their career, and provide an overview of how to write a competitive award.

Research Career to
New Heights

Career Development Awards (K awards) are one of the most successful NIH programs that have helped launched many productive investigator careers. Over the past 5 years, K award funding has steadily increased NIH-wide, and in 2011, overall K award success rates were 35% across all institutes. However, many investigators often miss funding opportunities because they are not aware of the kinds of career awards available to them and what’s expected of the trainee in securing an award.Researchers who receive K awards have longer careers as principal investigators and are more likely to lead center grants, program project grants, and training grants. Recipients of K awards are also more likely to direct large research projects, and publish more and higher quality articles than either unsuccessful applicants for K awards or R01 recipients at the same career stage who did not receive career development support.Despite this, evidence shows that many promising candidates that would qualify for a career award and their mentors are often unaware of how the program and mechanism works and the strategies to write a compelling and successful career development award.5 Key Take-Aways:

Understanding what a Career Award (K) is, and is not
Understanding the differences between the many types of K’s and what’s appropriate for the candidate in their stage of research
What goes into the K award, step by step
How to optimize the message in a K award with NIH expectations
K Award writing strategies and tips from K award recipients and from the NIH

Who Should Attend:

Anyone interested in a career in academic medicine and interested in an NIH Career Award–postdocs, junior faculty, students.
