NIH Director's Early Independence Awards Program NIH Director's Early Independence Awards Program

WSU is limited to two proposals in response to this funding opportunity. If you are interested in preparing a Letter of Intent for the Dec. 31 due date, notify proposals@wichita.edu by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, to allow time for an internal review of projects if needed.

The NIH Director's Early Independence Award Program supports exceptional investigators who wish to pursue independent research directly after completion of their terminal doctoral/research degree or clinical residency, thereby forgoing the traditional post-doctoral training period and accelerating their entry into an independent research career.

Only two applications per institution are allowed.
