The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for the Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program for the purpose of supporting the research activities during the early stage careers of independent clinical researchers.
Donor Name: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
State: All States
County: All Counties
U.S. Territories: Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/25/2023
Grant Duration: 3 years
Details:
The program offers the opportunity for a unique bridge between the NIH intramural and extramural research communities and contains two phases. In the first phase, Lasker Scholars will receive appointments for up to 5-7 years as tenure-track investigators within the NIH Intramural Research Program with independent research budgets. In the second phase, successful scholars will receive up to 3 years of NIH support for their research at an extramural research facility; or, the Scholar can be considered to remain as an investigator within the intramural program.

- Artificial intelligence and machine learning to support automated decision making, genome-phenome data linking, bias reduction and image-based diagnostics for health care.
- Computational modeling of biological processes with focus on their impact on disease.
- National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH):
- Epidemiological, clinical, and translational research focusing on the role of the nervous system, other physiological systems, and psychosocial factors in perceiving, modifying, and managing pain, including approaches that apply to the concept of whole person health and health restoration.
Project Period
The initial phase of research in the IRP is for 5 years with the possibility of a 2 year extension. Additional extensions, as needed, may be approved on a case by case basis. The extramural phase of the program is for up to 3 years.
