What the grant funds

The purpose of the Advancing Research Careers (ARC) Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Transition Award to Promote Diversity (F99/K00) program is to support promising, late-stage graduate students from diverse backgrounds (e.g., see Notice of NIHs Interest in Diversity) to transition into and succeed in mentored postdoctoral research positions. It is anticipated that successful completion of this phased award program will position ARC scholars to advance in impactful careers in the biomedical research workforce that typically require postdoctoral training (e.g., academic research and teaching at a range of institution types, industry or government research). This two-phase award will provide support for late-stage graduate students pursuing research related to the mission areas of participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) to facilitate the completion of doctoral dissertation projects and research training (F99 phase), and to transition into and succeed in postdoctoral biomedical research and career development opportunities (K00 phase). ARC F99 fellows/K00 scholars will be part of organized cohorts and will be expected to participate in mentoring, networking, and professional development activities coordinated by ARC Institutionally-Focused Research Education Award to Promote Diversity (UE5) recipients.
