archived

-The goals of the NIH-supported career development programs are to help ensure that diverse pools of highly trained scientists are available in adequate numbers and in appropriate research areas to address the Nation s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. For this specific announcement the research area of interest is complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). -The specific purpose of this research career development Award (K01) is to provide research training support for CAM Practitioners with clinical doctorates, who have had limited opportunities for research training, but a strong desire to pursue a career in CAM research. The long term goal is to encourage more CAM practitioners to enter research careers, thus enriching CAM research through their experience and knowledge of CAM practice. This award will provide support and protected time (three, four, or five years) for intensive, supervised career development research experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences related to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Awards are not renewable, nor are they transferable from one principal investigator to another. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
