Dear Colleagues:

Below is an excerpt from a recent NIH policy notice. Please review the notice and forward it to faculty, researchers, and staff, as appropriate. Questions regarding the notices should be directed to your Federal Contract and Grant Officer.

Notice of Temporary Policy Exception to NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) Section 12.3.7 to Permit Continued Eligibility for Mentored Career Development Award When an Award Ended Early

NOT-OD-25-115

The purpose of this Notice is to inform the extramural research community of a temporary exception to the NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) Section 12.3.7, which generally limits eligibility for mentored career development (K) awards to those who have not previously been the recipient of such awards.  Effective immediately, NIH will allow individuals whose mentored career development awards prematurely ended on or after January 1, 2025, to be eligible to apply for a new mentored career development award, contingent upon all other eligibility requirements being met.

Thank you,
