Description

The Senior Scientist Research and Mentorship Award (K05) is intended to provide protected time for outstanding senior scientists who have demonstrated a sustained high level of productivity conducting biomedical research relevant to the scientific mission of the appropriate institute to focus on their research and to provide mentoring of new investigators. The Senior Scientist Research and Mentorship Award will use the K05 mechanism. It is expected that most candidates will request five years of support; requests must be for a minimum of three years. Awards may be renewed one time for up to an additional five-year period. New K05 applications are allowed from former recipients of K05 awards from other NIH Institutes who are submitting K05 applications to NIAAA or NIDA for the first time.
