Special Requirements    -Recipients of an NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22) must submit an R01 research grant application to the NIH or an R01-equivalent research grant application to an equivalent funding organization (for example, an American Cancer Society Research Project Grant) for peer review and funding consideration prior to the end of the 2nd year of support.    -The sponsoring institution must have well-established research programs in basic, clinical, and/or cancer prevention/control/behavioral/population sciences.

Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) represents the continuation of an NCI program to facilitate the transition of investigators, primarily those with clinical doctoral degrees as well as those with doctoral degrees working in the areas of cancer prevention, control, behavioral, or population science research, from the mentored stage of career development in academic cancer research to the independent stage. This goal is achieved by providing protected time through salary and research support for 3 years to: postdoctoral individuals or junior faculty in mentored positions transitioning into their first independent position; and investigators within the first 2 years of their first independent cancer research position, to initiate and develop their independently-supported cancer research programs.
