Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HD 23 023
The Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Research Career Development Award (K12 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), funding opportunity number RFA-HD-23-023, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant designed to build a stronger, more diverse pipeline of investigators in pediatric clinical pharmacology and related areas of pediatric therapeutics. The program supports institutional career development initiatives that provide structured, mentored research and professional development for scholars who are moving into faculty-level roles and need protected time and guidance to become independent, productive clinical pharmacologist investigators. The focus is on research and career development experiences spanning clinical, translational, and basic research as they relate to pediatric therapeutics, particularly in fields where the current workforce of trained researchers is limited.
A defining feature of this K12 is that it is intended to function as a national network of mentors and scholars rather than operating only within the walls of a single institution. In practice, that means the program is oriented toward building a broader community of pediatric clinical pharmacology experts, connecting scholars with mentors and collaborators across sites, and strengthening the overall ecosystem that supports pediatric pharmacology research careers. The overarching goal is not simply to fund individual projects, but to create a durable training and mentoring structure that helps early-stage investigators gain the skills, research experiences, and professional trajectory needed to sustain long-term careers in pediatric clinical pharmacology.
The FOA emphasizes career development outcomes: supporting essential research experiences, ensuring meaningful protected time to conduct research, and facilitating the transition from mentored junior faculty to highly skilled, independent investigators. It also explicitly prioritizes developing a diverse workforce, reflecting an interest in broadening participation and strengthening representation in pediatric pharmacology-related clinical and biomedical research. Importantly, the announcement specifies "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," which signals that the supported activities should not include conducting clinical trials under this award mechanism, even though the broader research scope may include clinical, translational, or basic science work relevant to pediatric therapeutics.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses, among others. The FOA also highlights additional eligible applicant categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, it clearly restricts foreign participation at the applicant level: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is listed under CFDA number 93.865, with an award ceiling of $275,000. The original closing date was December 6, 2022, and the FOA was created on September 9, 2022. Overall, this announcement is best understood as an NIH effort to expand and strengthen the national community of pediatric clinical pharmacology researchers by supporting institutional programs that recruit and develop early-career scholars through intensive mentorship, protected research time, and coordinated career development within a networked training environment.Apply for RFA HD 23 023
