NINDS CHANGE IN K08 MCSDA PROGRAM: NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION Release Date: July 10, 2000 NOTICE: NS-00-008 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke This notice of limited competition provides an update to the NINDS Notice NS- 00-001 Changes in K08 MCSDA Program, published in the NIH Guide, November 9, 1999 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-NS-00-001.html). In November 1999, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) announced a change in the K08 Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (MCSDA). Beginning with the February 1, 2000 receipt date, applications to the NINDS for the K08 award may request 3-5 years of support. Previously, applications were limited to requesting three years of support. The NINDS is now inviting competing continuation applications from those existing grantees with 3-year K08 MCSDA awards. Eligible grantees are invited to submit proposals describing the research and career development plans to be continued in their parent grant. The continuation phase is intended to provide up to two years (years 4 and 5) of funding for grantees to enable them to more successfully complete the research proposed in their original grant application, and to bolster competitiveness for independent funding during the performance period of the K08 award. The NINDS will accept competitive continuation applications according to the receipt schedule outlined below. Receipt Date: The first receipt deadline for these applications will be August 10, 2000 (this is a one-time-only date for those who have a current K08 with the project period ending in FY 2000). Subsequent applications should be submitted for the regular receipt dates of November 1, March 1, and July 1, no less than 8 months prior to the end date of the current 3-year K08 MCSDA award. INQUIRIES All eligible applicants have been contacted via Email or FAX, and have been given specific instructions about application procedures, budget information, and review criteria.
