The NIH K99/R00 grant mechanism offers postdocs a fantastic opportunity for support as they complete their mentored research and training, and transition to independence in a tenure-track faculty position. However, preparing the application is no small task. In this presentation I will help get you on your way by addressing the following questions:

  

How do I know if the K99/R00 is right for me? Where do I begin, and how should I budget my time? What are the key components of the application and what are reviewers looking for?

  

Both international and domestic postdocs are eligible to apply for the K99/R00 grant mechanism.
