Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 24 014
The Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging (K76 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Aging (NIA) career development grant designed for early-stage physicians and other health professional investigators who are committed to aging research and/or aging-related diseases. The overall purpose is to accelerate the transition of promising, already research-active faculty into recognized leaders in their specialty area and in the broader aging and geriatrics research community. The program emphasizes both scientific growth and leadership development, with the expectation that awardees will be positioned to influence research direction, clinical practice, and ultimately health outcomes for older adults.
A key feature of this K76 announcement is that it is not meant for individuals who are just beginning to explore research. Unlike many mentored K awards that support earlier career stages, applicants here are expected to have already started establishing an independent research trajectory. Specifically, candidates must have received competitively awarded research support as a PD/PI at the faculty level (or have leveraged comparable faculty-level research support) to build an independent line of research. In addition to research readiness, applicants must demonstrate evidence of leadership potential or activity in clinical and/or research settings, since the award is explicitly aimed at cultivating emerging leaders rather than only providing protected time for training.
The scientific scope is broad as long as the work clearly aligns with aging and aging-related disease priorities. The intent is to support investigators who will deepen their expertise in their own disciplines while also gaining the tools and perspectives needed to contribute to the multidisciplinary field of aging and geriatrics. While the FOA supports career development and research advancement, it carries an important limitation captured in the title: independent clinical trials are not allowed. In practice, that means applicants need to propose research and career development activities that fit NIH definitions permitted under this mechanism, without positioning the award as support for leading an independent clinical trial.
The opportunity is offered as a grant under a discretionary funding program within the health category, associated with CFDA number 93.866. The Funding Opportunity Number is RFA-AG-24-014, and the original application due date listed is 2024-10-18. The listed award ceiling is $225,000. The announcement also indicates NIA expects to make awards, though the specific number of expected awards is not provided in the source text.
Eligibility is broad across many types of U.S.-based applicant organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other organizations as described in the FOA. The announcement also explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible agencies of the federal government, regional organizations, Indian/Native American tribal governments (other than federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, the FOA draws firm boundaries around foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. This effectively means the applicant organization and the proposed project activities must be structured to avoid foreign components and must remain within the allowable domestic framework.
Taken together, this FOA is best viewed as a career and leadership accelerator for clinician-investigators and other health professionals who have already demonstrated the ability to compete for research support and who are now ready to expand their impact in aging research. The program’s design signals that NIA is investing in people who are likely to become field-shaping leaders, not only productive researchers, and who can help drive meaningful improvements in the science and care of aging populations.Apply for RFA AG 24 014
