Eligibility & Types of Grants Available

NIH application codes align with applicant eligibility as a function of educational attainment and/or career stage. NIH Fellowships (F) typically support graduate/doctoral students, whereas postdoctoral scholars, clinical residents, early-career and beyond are eligible for NIH Mentored Career Development (K) awards. These awards support effort (i.e. salary) more than other direct research costs (e.g. lab supplies). Learn more about Graduate and Postdoctoral Fellowships (Fs) and Career Development (K) grants by using the NIH's Research Training and Career Development's Career Path
