K Award Policy Change
On Thursday, NIH released a notice revising and expanding the policy concerning concurrent support from career development award and a research grant. The notice states that "currently mentored K award recipients in the last two years of their support period are permitted to reduce the level of effort required for the K award and replace that effort with the effort on an NIH research grant or subproject provided that they remain in a mentored situation." The policy change "expands eligible grants to include research grants obtained from any Federal agency, clarifies when the research grant may be obtained relative to the years remaining on the K award, and clarifies that status as a PI on a multiple PI award also confers eligibility."

NIH Grant Cycle: Application to Renewal covers each step from mapping out your next ten years of research to renewing your funded grant. We answer your most critical application questions, including:
- How much time should you allow?
- How much work should you propose?
- How do you balance time, money, and effort?
- How much detail should you include?
- Should you involve collaborators?
- What should you do if you don't succeed?
Though much of our information and advice pertains to grantsmanship in general, the Cycle is written from an NIAID perspective. We share with you the knowledge and experience of NIAID staff, including former NIH grantees.
This new resource packs in even more guidance from senior-level scientists in the Institute, while incorporating four of our former All About Grants tutorials -- Application Basics, How to Plan an Application, How to Write an Application, and How to Manage Your Award.
