Which K award is right for me? Am I eligible?
The NIH and AHRQ K career development award announcements are geared to individuals at various stages of their career (from postdoctoral fellow, to new and even established faculty). Therefore, you are encouraged to initially use the NIH Career Awards Wizard search tool on the NIH K award webpage>> for guidance.
Note: the NIH has not updated the list of K Awards on that webpage, so please refer to the list of active K award program announcements below.
Please read the program guidelines carefully and call the institute scientific contact for additional questions regarding eligibility before you begin your applications. If there are multiple participating institutes: see the NIH institute table of contacts for eligibility, institute-specific criteria, and contact persons.
Citizenship
By the time of award, all K award applicants must be a citizen or a non-citizen national of the United States or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (i.e., possess a currently valid Permanent Resident Card USCIS Form I-551, or other legal verification of such status).

Required training for all postdoctoral fellows and optional for Instructors and faculty who are submitting NIH K series applications.
We will be downloading your REAL NIH K Series application and completing some of the administrative sections in these hands-on lab sessions. This training is completely web based, and we will also be downloading and completing required Stanford-specific internal documents. Gayle Campbelll from the Dean of Research Office and Research Process Managers (RPM) from the Research Management Group (RMG) will be on hand to assist each of you with your application.
ORA NIH K Award Resource Webpage
NIH K Award Resource Wepage (ORA) Lisa Terisi in the Office of Research Administration has developed a new webpage containing specific support materials for your NIH Grants.gov K award proposals your reference. It contains: application tools, NIH e Commons User name, training and protocol resources, software resources, online materials, required forms.
Grants.gov@Stanford
Grants.gov@Stanford.edu resource webpage.Information for your mentor
Your Mentor and people writing reference letters must have an NIH eCommons UserName.
Institutional Representatives:
Who to work with when submitting your K award proposals.
You are required to work with your department's institional representatives* Stanford policy requires that you must submit your application materials (in this case your NIH K proposal forms via Stanford's eSubmit program) and your online Fellowship PDRF to your institutional representative* at least 5 days or one calendar week prior to the sponsor's deadline.
School of Medicine: Research Process Manager (RPM) department assignments
Because the K Awards are grants and not fellowships,you must work with your department's RPM (and not the fellowship office). Your RPM will need to assist you with the budget, Stanford and NIH policies, including obtaining a PI waiver, and with your grants.gov application submission.

K99/R00 Citizenship eligibility:
K99/R00 Citizenship- eligibility (revised visa statement)*
For most K awards U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is a requirement. However, the K99/R00 award is the only one that permits non-citizens/permanent residents to apply. For non-U.S. citizen/permanent residents, the applicant U.S. institution for each phase of the application (K99 or R00) is responsible for determining and documenting in the application that the applicant investigator’s visa will allow him or her to remain in this country long enough to: (a) transition to an independent research career in the U.S. during the proposed mentored (K99) phase and/or (b) be productive on the research project in the U.S. for the duration of the proposed independent research (R00) phase.
REVISED visa statement: Per clarification from the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, foreign registered postdoctoral fellows are here on J-1, H-1B/TN visas. Individuals with these J-1, H-1B/TN visas may be eligible to apply for the K99/R00 award as long as their departments document in their application, per the guidelines above, that their visas will allow them to remain in the country during the proposed mentored K99 mentored phase here at Stanford and be productive on the research project in the U.S. for the duration of the proposed independent research (R00) phase.
Confirm your eligibility: Candidates are strongly encouraged to consult with the scientific/research contact person listed in the announcement prior to the submission of an application to discuss eligibility.Individuals are NOT eligible for the K99/R00 if they: Have currently or previously held an independent research faculty or tenure-track faculty position, or its equivalent, in academia, industry or elsewhere; or Have more than 5 years of related postdoctoral research training at the time of initial application or resubmission(s); or Have been an independent principal investigator on NIH research grants (e.g. R01, R03, R21), NIH career development awards(e.g., K01, K07, K08, K23, K25), or other peer reviewed NIH or non-NIH research grants over $100,000 direct costs per year, or project leaders on sub-projects of program project (P01) or center (P50) grants.

NHLBI Mentored Career Development Award to Promote Faculty Diversity/Re-Entry in Biomedical Research (K01)
(RFA-HL-13-019)
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
This FOA invites applications to increase the number of highly trained investigators, from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in research areas of interest to the NHLBI or who wish to re-enter their research careers (e.g., after a hiatus due to family circumstances).
This FOA invites applications from Institutions with eligible faculty members to undertake special study and supervised research under a mentor who is an accomplished investigator in the research area proposed and has experience in developing independent investigators.
Candidates who are faculty members (with PI eligibility) at an institution must have research experience and be committed to developing into independent biomedical investigators in research areas relevant to the mission of the NHLBI (i.e., cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or sleep disorders research).
