The first phase provides 1 to 2 years of mentored support for highly promising, postdoctoral researchers in biomedical imaging and bioengineering. The second phase, contingent upon procurement of an independent research position and internal administrative review, will provide up to 3 years of independent research support. To determine an applicant's status regarding the 4-year eligibility window, NIBIB will calculate the time from the start date of the applicant's first postdoc to the receipt date of the cycle for which the application is submitted. For resubmissions, this will be the resubmission receipt date (i.e. March 12, not February 12 for cycle I, see Submission Schedule). Extensions to the eligibility window will typically be allowed only for official leave-of-absences due to medical or family reasons, and not for changes in the area of study/research or other employment. Under this FOA, NIBIB will only support applications proposing early stage clinical trials through Phase I, first-in-human, safety, feasibility, or other small clinical trials that inform the early stage technology development in the submitted application. NIBIB will not support applications proposing Phase II, III, IV or pivotal clinical trials, or trials in which the primary outcome is efficacy, effectiveness, or a post-market concern. Before preparing an application, prospective applicants are encouraged to fill out the NIBIB K99/R00 Eligibility Inquiry Form and forward it along with the requested attachments to the Scientific Program Contact in order to verify eligibility, determine if the application is appropriate for a K99 award through NIBIB, and ensure that the application is submitted to the appropriate FOA.
