Applicants Sought for the K12 Mentored Research Career Development Program in Clinical and Translational Science Call for Applicants! by wrayk@uthscsa.edu
The Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science (IIMS), home to the NIH Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) at UT San Antonio, is soliciting applications for the K12 Mentored Research Career Development Program. The K12 program targets early career faculty who have a professional doctoral degree or individuals who are completing postdoctoral training with an impending academic appointment. K12 Scholars are selected on a competitive basis and will embark on a 2-3–year program of intensive training in clinical and translational research and translational science, combining an innovative educational program with mentored clinical and translational research. Completion of the program is expected to position the K12 Scholar for a leadership role as an independent clinical and translational researcher/translational scientist in academic medicine, industry, or government.
The IIMS anticipates funding up to 4 new 2-3–year K12 Scholar positions available starting September 1, 2026. For each Scholar position, the IIMS will fund the first 2 years of a Scholar’s award, with the Scholar’s home department funding the third should the Scholar need it to obtain independent funding (individual K award or R01 or equivalent) as PI. A 1-page letter of intent, an NIH-format biosketch, and your department’s letter of support guaranteeing the third year of support are due Wednesday, January 22, 2026 at 5:00 pm. Application materials will then be reviewed, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full K12 application due on February 22, 2026 at 5:00 pm.
