I was recently awarded a #K99/R00 from the #NIH. Not going to lie, it was a lot of work and I got a lot of help. Also, NIH is complicated and intimidating. Here's some advice based on my experience, hopefully it will help others. #BlackInNeuro #FuturePI
First, what is a K99? Also called a career transition K award, it will fund 2 years as a postdoc and my first 3 years of my first faculty appointment. There's also a similar K22/R00 award that focuses on minority candidates.
I applied for the BRAIN initiative K99, which also focuses on increasing diversity. This particular award includes women as a URM (not usually the case). The eligibility window is extended to 5 years post PhD. Its restricted to US citizens. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/r…
