Participants are able to download and work on their application forms, and learn about internal Stanford procedures and NIH policies. These courses are conducted by Research Process Managers (RPMs) from the Research Management Group (RMG) and are available for Stanford researchers and are RECOMMENDED for ALL K Award applicants.
STEP 6: Alert your institutional representative about your plans to submit a K award:
School of Medicine PIs:
Research Process Manager (RPM) Assignments:
you are encouraged to contact your Research Process Manager (RPM >>) asap (at least 3-4 weeks) prior to submitting a proposal so your RPM can begin to build your budget and help with other aspects of your applications.

FAQ's
1. If I sign up for the computer lab session, am I commited to submit an application for the next standard deadline?
No, taking the class is not a commitment to submit. Often, attendees delay submitting their proposal until the next cycle. And, those same attendees who delay often choose to attend a second time closer to their deadline.
2. Can we bring our own iPad/laptop to the course to fill out electronic forms?
The lab is equipped with a PC for each student.
3. Will I need to bring my cell phone or tablet so I can acces the 2-step authentication code during the session?
Yes. Please bring your cell phone or tablet to the session so you can acess your two step authentication code.
Per this IRT webpage >>: This type of authentication is required to access Stanford systems that have higher than normal levels of security, such as critical business or infrastructure systems.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
The NIH requires formal training in the responsible conduct of research. Per the NIH, Instruction must be undertaken at least once during each career stage, and at a frequency of no less than once every four years. Stanford has a specific class to address this:

*Parent K01 FOAs*
Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (Parent K01-Clinical Trial Allowed) PA-18-363
Multiple participating institutes
The purpose of the NIH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) is to provide support and “protected time” (three, four, or five years) for an intensive, supervised career development experience in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences leading to research independence. Although all of the participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) use this support mechanism to support career development experiences that lead to research independence, some ICs use the K01 award for individuals who propose to train in a new field or for individuals who have had a hiatus in their research career because of illness or pressing family circumstances.
Other ICs utilize the K01 award to increase research workforce diversity by providing enhanced research career development opportunities.
NOTE: This FOA is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial, as part of their research and career development.
Standard deadlines: Feb. 12, June 12, Oct. 12
Standard AIDS related deadlines:

K99/R00 Citizenship- eligibility
For most K awards U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is a requirement. However, the K99/R00 award is the only one that permits non-citizens/permanent residents to apply. For non-U.S. citizen/permanent residents, the applicant U.S. institution for each phase of the application (K99 or R00) is responsible for determining and documenting in the application that the applicant investigator’s visa will allow him or her to remain in this country long enough to: (a) transition to an independent research career in the U.S. during the proposed mentored (K99) phase and/or (b) be productive on the research project in the U.S. for the duration of the proposed independent research (R00) phase.
Visas: Per clarification from the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, foreign registered postdoctoral fellows are here on J-1, H-1B/TN visas. Individuals with these J-1, H-1B/TN visas may be eligible to apply for the K99/R00 award as long as their departments document in their application, per the guidelines above, that their visas will allow them to remain in the country during the proposed mentored K99 mentored phase here at Stanford and be productive on the research project in the U.S. for the duration of the proposed independent research (R00) phase.
Confirm your eligibility: Candidates are strongly encouraged to consult with the scientific/research contact person listed in the announcement prior to the submission of an application to discuss eligibility.
