Overview
During this transition, the program furnishes independent research support to help awardees commence competitive, independent careers in biomedical research. This assists in addressing the national shortage of physician-scientists. The Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is specifically tailored for applicants proposing to act as the principal investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary clinical trial as a part of their career and research development.
However, those who do not intend to conduct an independent clinical trial, or wish to acquire research experience in a clinical trial led by a different investigator, will need to apply through a companion Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA #).
