NIDCR Dual Degree Dentist Scientist Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

archived

The purpose of the NIDCR Dentist Scientist Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to increase and maintain a strong cohort of new and talented independent dual degree dentist scientists. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of outstanding dual degree dentist scientists from mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions by providing support for two years of mentored training and three to five years of independent research. The option for five years of independent (R00) support is available to accommodate clinical specialty training at no more than 3 person- months effort (25% effort) in any year of the R00 phase. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans led by a mentor or co-mentor. Applicants proposing a clinical trial or an ancillary study to an ongoing clinical trial as lead investigator should apply to one of the companion FOAs. Applicants proposing studies conducted with specific applications toward processes or products in mind should submit to the companion Clinical Trial Required FOA (PAR-18-432). Applicants proposing basic experimental studies in humans referred to in NOT-OD-18-212 as prospective basic science studies involving human participants should apply to the companion Basic Experimental Studies with Humans FOA (PAR-19-NNN).
