The purpose of the NINDS Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) Advanced Postdoctoral Career Transition Award  (K99/R00) program is to support a cohort of new and talented, independent investigators conducting ADRD research. The program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of eligible postdoctoral researchers from their mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. The program will provide independent NIH research support during this transition in order to help recipients  establish independent research programs in the ADRD field.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed specifically for candidates proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Candidatesto this NOFO are permitted to propose research experiences in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.
