Alternate Opportunity

Individuals conducting mentored, patient-oriented research in the cancer prevention, control, behavioral or the population sciences should refer to the NCI's specialized use of the Cancer Prevention, Control, Behavioral And Population Sciences Career Development Award (K07).

Data Sharing

Under the NIH Data Sharing Policy, grantees are expected to engage in a timely release of final data sets that have been generated with NIH support for use by other researchers, provide a Data Sharing Plan that will achieve this objective, OR state why data sharing is not possible or appropriate. No Data Sharing Plan is required for the mentored K23 mechanism because it supports a career development, rather than, a research grant. It supports salaries and other ancillary costs for individual awardees, but it does not provide support for the generation of research data, directly. With regard to the data generated by awardees working in research environments funded by NIH research grants, it is the responsibility of the institutions that are awarded these research grants to share the data and provide acceptable Data Sharing Plans to the NIH as part of the research application.
