The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for its Pediatric Critical Care and Trauma Scientist Development Program to support a national program of mentored career development and training in research for junior faculty in pediatric critical care medicine and pediatric trauma surgery.
Donor Name: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
State: All States
County: All Counties
U.S. Territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 03/29/2023
Size of the Grant: $785,000
Grant Duration: 5 years
Details
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) allows appointment of Scholars (K12) proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing an ancillary clinical trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development. Scholars may also propose fundamental research or human subjects research that is not a clinical trial.
The goals of the PCCTSDP are to expand the pool of investigators trained to advance research in pediatric critical and trauma care. In doing so, the program aims to stimulate novel research and innovative investigation into the scientific basis of pediatric critical care and trauma practice and the consequences of critical illness and injury for families and children. Additionally, it is intended that this program will build upon and expand the community of investigators who network effectively to advance research in these related fields. The program will fund, up to a maximum of 5 years, the administration and infrastructure of one K12 Career Development Program.
Objectives
More specifically, the objectives of the program are to:
- Develop guidelines for training, didactic interactions, career development, and the responsible conduct of research among junior faculty pediatric critical care and trauma clinicians.
- Identify and develop a network of established faculty with a record of research support and productivity who can serve as potential mentors and secondary resources for Scholars.
- Assure that primary consideration be given to candidates whose research interests will lead to expanded knowledge that ultimately will improve outcomes and quality of life for critically ill and/or injured children as well as for children with potential and present disability.
- Coordinate with participating institutions and departments to ensure that Scholars receive the appropriate research support, non-clinical time protection, and opportunities for advancement.
- Recruit, identify and select those individuals who would most benefit from participation in this program and are most likely to develop independent careers in research.
- Provide special opportunities for research presentations, professional advancement, career counseling and networking.
- Through recruitment efforts, encourage underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities to seek opportunities to participate as Scholars, mentors, or in other resource positions.
- Provide a framework for early research career awareness, preparation and choice for a diverse group of participants, including women and members of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.
- Provide periodic and systematic evaluations of the PCCTSDP as a whole.
Award Budget
Application budgets are limited to $785,000 in direct costs and must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Award Project Period
The maximum project period is five years.

The sponsoring institution must assure support for the proposed program. Appropriate institutional commitment to the program includes the provision of adequate staff, facilities, and educational resources that can contribute to the planned program.
The applicant institution must have a strong and high-quality research program in the area(s) proposed under this FOA and must have the requisite faculty, staff, and facilities on site to administer the program. As this is intended to be a national program, administered at the PD/PI’s institution on behalf of the development of research training and career development for Scholars from across the United States, it is particularly important that the institution where the PD/PI is based be research-intensive.
