View the online Guidelines for the K23 program. Additional information regarding
eligibility and assignment of K23 applications to NCRR is as follows: Candidates
must have a clinical degree (i.e., M.D., D.D.S., or an equivalent degree). Individuals
holding the Ph.D. degree only, without an M.D. or D.D.S. degree, or a comparable
medical or dental degree from a foreign country, are not eligible for an NCRR
K23 award. The candidate must have an academic appointment at an institution hosting
a General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). The individual must have approval of
the GCRC Principal Investigator and Program Director (letters in support of the
application are required) to use GCRC resources to accomplish the research goals
outlined in the proposal. The candidate also must have a mentor who is an active
GCRC-based investigator. The candidate must have an interest in pursuing career
development in patient-oriented research with the goal of becoming an independent
clinical investigator. The applicant may also wish to pursue didactic course work
and/or learn sophisticated research techniques, and should address these needs
in the application. Applicants fulfilling these eligibility criteria should indicate
their desire to have primary or secondary assignment to NCRR in a cover letter
to the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR) that should be submitted with the K23 application.
