This FOA encourages applications for institutional research career development (K12) programs that support mentored research and career development experiences for scholars pursuing clinical, translational, and/or basic research in pediatric therapeutics. This program constitutes a national network of mentors and scholars, in contrast to K12 programs that are based solely at a single applicant institution. The primary purpose of this FOA is to ensure that a pipeline of diverse and highly trained workforce is available in pediatric pharmacology-related clinical and biomedical fields that currently have a limited number of researchers. This FOA will support essential research career development opportunities and ensure “protected” time to pursue impactful research experiences for new faculty-level clinical pharmacologists, fostering the transition to productive highly skilled clinical pharmacologist investigators.

This initiative proposes to expand and strengthen the community of clinical pharmacologist investigators engaged in pediatric clinical pharmacology research.

Submissions must be institutionally coordinated.
