Description: Purpose. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) announce a program that provides NIDDK-supported K01, K08 and K23 recipients the opportunity to apply for Small Grant (R03) support to run concurrently with the latter years of their K award. Through the use of this mechanism, which allows up to $50,000 direct costs per year for two years in additional research development costs, the NIDDK is seeking to enhance the capability of its K01, K08 and K23 award recipients to conduct research as they complete their transition to fully independent investigator status. The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects, including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is intended to support research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality and the number of applications received. Funding decisions will reflect the needs, priorities and mission of the NIDDK.
