"NIDDK Investigator Award to Support Mentoring of Early Career Researchers from Diverse Backgrounds (K26 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: RFA-DK-22-012

Funding Opportunity Purpose 

The purpose of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Investigator Award to Support Mentoring of Early Career Researchers from Diverse Backgrounds is to provide protected effort and resources to established, NIDDK-funded, mentors to provide high quality mentoring to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups (see, e.g., Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity). Program Directors/Principals Investigators (PD/PIs) (mentors) must be conducting research that falls within the missions of the NIDDK and such research programs should serve as the framework around which mentoring activities are constructed. PD/PIs/applicants must have a demonstrable track record of mentoring early career researchers from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
