About this position
The NIH Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) is a career development opportunity designed for clinicians who want to build a research career centered on patient-oriented research. It supports individuals with a clinical doctoral degree and emphasizes mentored development rather than a standalone dissertation project.
This award is part of the National Institutes of Health career development portfolio and is structured to help early-stage clinician-researchers strengthen their research trajectory in a patient-focused environment. The emphasis is on developing the skills, experience, and scholarly independence needed to pursue clinically relevant research questions.
The award provides a framework for sustained research development over several years, supporting the recipient’s progression toward a future research career in the biomedical and clinical sciences.
