K-23 Young Investigator Award
ELIGIBILITY AND ASSIGNMENT OF K23 APPLICATIONS TO NCRR
Candidates must have a clinical degree: M.D., D.D.S., or an equivalent degree. Candidates eligible for assignment to the NCRR K23 must meet additional criteria. At a minimum, the candidate will have an academic appointment at an institution hosting an NCRR-sponsored General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). The individual must have approval of the GCRC Principal Investigator and Program Director (letters in support of the application are required) to use GCRC resources to accomplish the research goals outlined in the proposal. The candidates must also have a mentor, who is an active GCRC-based investigator.
The successful candidate typically has an interest in pursuing career development in patient-oriented research that provides the impetus for becoming an independent clinical investigator. The applicant may also wish to pursue didactic course work and/or learn sophisticated research techniques, and should address these needs in application. As of February 1, 2000, guidelines for the NCRR K23 will supersede all previous CAP guidelines, with the exception of provisions that remain in effect for current CAP awardees.
Applicants fulfilling these eligibility criteria should indicate their desire to have primary assignment to NCRR in a cover letter that should be submitted concurrently with the application.

MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS
The GCRC grant may provide support for a "Mentored Medical Student Clinical Research Program" whereby a medical student could take time off from medical school to engage in a mentored program of up to one year of supervised participation in clinical research, didactic coursework related to patient-oriented research, and/or acquisition of laboratory skills that can be applied to patient-oriented clinical research efforts. UCI's GCRC is currently negotiating with the College of Medicine Medical Education administration to implement this program at UCI. For further information, please contact Dr. Dan Cooper, GCRC Program Director, at 714-456-2317.
