K12 Scholars Program Application Deadline is February 17, 2025
PROGRAM OFFERS JUNIOR FACULTY ADVANCED TRAINING IN CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE
NOVEMBER 2024
The application deadline for Stanford’s K12 Mentored Career Development Program is February 17, 2025. All applicants must have a full-time (100%) appointment at Stanford University and demonstrate a long-term commitment from their sponsoring Division or Department.
The School of Medicine K12 Mentored Career Development Program (K12 Scholars Program) is a two-year research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Stanford Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA). The K12 Scholars Program is designed to offer advanced training in clinical and translational science to junior faculty. The program offers flexible learning models to engage scholars in team science, individual career development plans, advanced research training, and career guidance.
K12 Scholars will pursue a mentored research project in their area of expertise. It is expected that the research performed within the K12 program will provide the basis for an independent NIH award (e.g., K23, K08, or R01). If a K12 Scholar's project involves human subjects and/or live vertebrate animals, the scholar may not begin the research project until prior approval is received from the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). Information regarding the NCATS prior approval process will be sent to K12 scholars prior to the start of the two-year funding period.
