The award consists of two phases: a mentored K99 phase lasting up to two years, followed by an independent R00 phase for an additional three years, with a total funding amount of $750,000 available for approximately five awards. Interested applicants must submit their proposals through Grants.gov by the close date of March 12, 2025, and can direct inquiries to grantsinfo@nih.gov for further information.
