Particular attention should be paid to the purpose of each award mechanism, its eligibility requirements, and its review considerations. For example, the K12 program mechanism will accommodate the research career pathways of clinicians in fields related to NIDA's research mission. Under the K12 award, support will be provided to eligible institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for clinicians selected by the institution, who are training for careers as independent researchers in the drug abuse and addiction area of biomedical and behavioral research. The K12 mechanism is designed to foster the development of advanced clinical research skills through didactic training and the mentored research experience. Potential applicants should contact appropriate NIDA staff for further information.
