It consists of two phases: an F99 phase providing a minimum of one year and up to two years of research training, followed by a K00 phase offering up to three years of postdoctoral support. Applicants may not propose independent clinical trials but may gain experience in those led by others. The initiative encourages multidisciplinary research training, mentorship, and career development while aligning with NIDCR’s strategic plan for a diverse DOC research workforce. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions and non-profit organizations, while individuals must be enrolled in a qualifying research or dual degree program. The program highlights the critical importance of mentorship, community building, and professional development to prepare researchers for independent careers, enhancing the overall diversity and capacity of the biomedical workforce.
