Description: The purpose of the Transition Career Development Award in Tobacco Control Regulatory Research (K22) is to facilitate the transition of investigators in mentored, non-independent research positions in biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences to independent faculty research positions conducting research that will inform the development and evaluation of regulations on tobacco product manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. This goal is achieved by providing protected time through salary and research support for the initial 3 years of the first independent tenure-track faculty position, or its equivalent. Research projects must address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as mandated by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), Public Law 111-31. Participating NIH Institutes invite K22 applications from mentored, non-independent investigators who (1) have earned a terminal clinical or research doctorate; (2) have at least 2 years of postdoctoral training in research at the time of submission of the initial application; (3) have no more than a total of 7 years of mentored, non-independent research training experience after the terminal clinical or research doctorate at the time of application; (4) have not already had or have an individual career development award from the Federal Government; and (5) do not already have a full-time tenure-track assistant professor faculty position, or its equivalent in mentored, non-independent (with a research or health-professional doctoral degree or equivalent) positions in biomedical or behavioral sciences. A clinical faculty member who does not hold an independent research faculty position may be eligible for this K22 award and should contact the appropriate IC Scientific Contact for guidance. Mentored, non-independent investigators in NIH intramural laboratories are eligible to apply for this K22 award. Candidates must also be pursuing careers in research areas supported by the NIH to address the research priorities related to the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). The awards under this FOA will be administered by NIH using funds made available through the CTP and the FSPTCA (P.L. 111-31).
