NHLBI Research Career Development Programs in Emergency Medicine Research (K12)
RFA-HL-11-011
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Heather Prendergast, Emergency Medicine
Program Summary
The goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health, is to increase the number and skills of emergency medicine investigators through a mentored research and career development program. The program provides supervised research training to assist junior faculty in their transition into productive physician- scientists in areas related to emergency medicine.
The intent of this program is to fund up to five awards for five years each, using the NIH Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Program (K12) mechanism. Training will require an integrated multidisciplinary team approach with effective collaboration among researchers and clinicians. Scholars entering the programs are to receive two or three years of focused research training to become clinician-investigators in emergency medicine. Scholars are required to obtain an MS in clinical research or equivalent two-year research degree. Program length is two or three years. Program directors must create research milestones for Scholars both within and following K12 training. Scholars are expected to transition from K12 training to individual career development awards (K awards) or independent NIH research funding.
UIC is restricted to one application.
