This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages applications for the Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program, which supports early-stage clinical researchers in their independent careers to improve human health. The program offers a unique bridge between NIH intramural and extramural research communities and consists of two phases: an initial 5-7 year tenure-track appointment within the NIH Intramural Research Program with independent research budgets, followed by up to 3 years of NIH support for research at an extramural facility or continuation within the intramural program. The program aims to foster clinical research and development through these phases.
