The Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center at the University of Michigan
is requesting applications for the HEAL* National K12 Clinical Pain Career
Development Award (HEAL K12). https://heal-k12.med.umich.edu/
The HEAL K12 is a mentored career development program designed to provide protected time for clinician scientists to focus on training in and conducting clinical pain research. Awards provide up to $100,000/year in salary, fringe benefits up to $32,000, $2,500 for travel to professional meetings, and $50,000/year in research support costs, for up to 3 years, plus indirect costs at 8%.
The maximum total request should not exceed $199,260.
This award is intended for scholars who may not be ready for a traditional K-award or independent research (e.g. R-series awards), come from institutional environments lacking the expertise in clinical pain science that could support the scholar’s career and/or research objectives, and/or who are unable to form a mentoring team that would make them competitive for a training or independent research award in clinical pain research.
Applicants will have at least one home-institution mentor who will serve as their primary mentor. The HEAL K-12 program will then work with the scholar to match them with a pain research mentor of national stature as well as mentors with lived pain experience. Training will occur primarily at the scholar’s home-institution. Scholars will commit a minimum of 75% of their effort to this award.
An informational webinar will be held September 14th from 4PM-5PM EDT: please register here:
