ELIGIBILITY<\/u><\/strong> <\/u><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Candidates for the KL2\u00a0Scholar program are early career faculty (generally Instructor or Assistant Professor)\u00a0who have a professional doctoral degree or are postdoctoral trainees with an impending academic appointment. KL2\u00a0Scholars will be recruited from a wide range of health professions and related fields, including all specialties of medicine and surgery, nursing, psychology and other behavioral sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, pharmacology, epidemiology, biostatistics, biomedical informatics, allied health sciences, health services research, biomedical engineering and other postdoctoral professions. All applicants must have evidence of strong academic achievement and scholarship, as well as personal attributes such as high motivation and integrity.<\/li>\n
  2. Applicants must be US citizens or non-citizen nationals, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence and possess an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151 or I-155) or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident. Applications will be accepted from persons whose residence application is pending, but the residency status must be finalized to receive a KL2\u00a0award. Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible.<\/li>\n
  3. Applicants must be able to commit at least 75% of full-time professional effort to this Career Development Program and its related clinical\/translational science research activities (50% effort may be permitted for surgeons).<\/li>\n
  4. Applicants who are dually employed by the UT Health Science Center and the Department of Veterans Affairs may be restricted from the KL2\u00a0Scholar award, depending upon the extent of commitment (percent effort) to the VA, as federal salaries cannot be considered part of the required 75% KL2\u00a0institutional commitment.<\/li>\n
  5. Applicants must not be, or have been, a Principal Investigator on a R01 award or a Project Leader on a subproject of a Program Project (P01), Center (P50, P60, U54) or other equivalent research grant award. Applicants may also not have another mentored\u00a0research career development (K-series) grant application under consideration at the time they receive a KL2. Eligible applicants may have received prior support on an Institutional or Individual NRSA grant (F or T) or NIH small grant (R03, R21).<\/li>\n
  6. Please note that NIH rules preclude individuals funded by the KL2\u00a0program from receiving additional federal funds for the portion of effort not covered by the KL2\u00a0\u00a0program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
