Notice of Information: NHLBI Extensions for Career Development Award (K01, K08, K23, K25)

NIH recently released NOT-OD-21-052 which provided general guidance for early career scientists affected by COVID-19 to request no-cost extensions or funded extensions. This NHLBI Notice provides additional guidance for currently-funded NHLBI K01, K08, K23, and K25 recipients impacted by COVID-19 seeking funded extensions.

Background

NHLBI investigators have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and several areas of need have been identified for early career scientists, in particular K01, K08, K23, and K25 recipients. To help support NHLBI career development award recipients, NHLBI is providing an opportunity for select K award recipients to apply for a funded extension to support their career development and successful transition to research independence. Due to limited funding in FY2021, the NHLBI will not be able to provide funded extensions for all K award recipients. To maximize the limited resources, NHLBI seeks to support K award recipients in the last year of their award or in their first no-cost extension (NCE) for whom an NHLBI-supported cost extension will be most impactful toward subsequent R01 funding and a transition to independent investigation
