The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides institutional research training opportunities to trainees at postdoctoral level which are called Mentored Research Career Development Awards. They are typically referred to K-series grants (e.g., K01, K08, K23, K25, or K99/R00). The SC CTSI provides support to those faculty or post-doctoral candidates who intend to submit this type of grant to NIH.
