Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 19 017
The Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging (K76 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) career development grant run by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Its purpose is to help early-stage physicians and other health professional faculty who are committed to aging and aging-related diseases strengthen both their research trajectory and their leadership development. The program is framed as an “emerging leaders” award, meaning it is not just about building technical research skills, but also about positioning recipients to become visible leaders in their specialty and in the broader aging and geriatrics research community, with an emphasis on work that can ultimately influence scientific theory, clinical practice, and health outcomes for older adults.
A key feature of this K76 is that it targets investigators who have already started to establish an independent line of research rather than those who are just beginning. Unlike many mentored K awards that are designed for individuals who have not yet led funded projects, applicants here are expected to show that they have received competitively awarded research support as a PD/PI at the faculty level, or that they have otherwise leveraged faculty-level research support to build independence. In practical terms, the award is meant for people who have moved beyond purely mentored training and have credible evidence that they can run a research program, but who would benefit from additional protected time, structured career development, and mentorship aimed at accelerating them into leadership roles. Reviewers will also be looking for clear evidence of leadership potential or existing leadership in clinical, translational, or research settings.
This particular FOA is explicitly limited to projects that do not involve the applicant leading an independent clinical trial. That means the proposed research under this announcement cannot be an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to an existing clinical trial if the awardee would be the lead investigator for that trial activity. However, clinical trial-related experience is not completely off the table: applicants may include research experiences that occur within a clinical trial as long as the trial is led by a mentor or co-mentor and the candidate is not the independent trial leader. If an applicant wants to lead a clinical trial or lead an ancillary study tied to an ongoing trial, the announcement directs them to use the companion FOA (RFA-AG-19-018) instead.
From an eligibility and applicant-organization standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area (CFDA 93.866) and is broadly open to a wide range of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, since universities are listed separately); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. The FOA also calls out additional eligible categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions.
Foreign participation is tightly restricted. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as NIH defines them in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. In other words, the applicant organization and the supported work are expected to be U.S.-based without foreign components.
Administratively, the FOA is identified as RFA-AG-19-017 and was created on 2018-06-08 with an original closing date of 2018-10-24. The listed award ceiling is $225,000. The announcement is issued under NIH, with NIA as the sponsoring institute, and it uses the K76 mechanism to provide structured career development support for clinician-researchers and other health professionals who are poised to become leaders in aging research but are not proposing to lead an independent clinical trial as part of this application.Apply for RFA AG 19 017
