K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award
Description
The purpose of the NIOSH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and 75% protected time for an intensive, supervised (mentored) career development experience in occupational health and safety research leading to research independence.
NIOSH supports K01 grants to help ensure the availability of an adequate number and diversity of highly trained scientists and educators to address critical occupational safety and health issues.
Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health burden addressed in their proposal and must link the need for the proposed research activities to planned outputs that will help alleviate this burden. Applicants should clearly articulate the anticipated impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond.
