Description
The NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Early-Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00) program aims to support postdoctoral fellows transitioning to independent research careers, particularly in cancer control, prevention, and data sciences. It provides independent NCI research support to facilitate a timely transition from mentored postdoctoral positions to independent tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. This specific funding opportunity is for basic science experimental studies involving humans, which are prospective basic science studies involving human participants. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial or basic experimental study with humans must apply to a different companion NOFO.
