The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The NIA Career Transition Award (CTA) aims to assist mentored researchers in transitioning to tenure-track faculty positions, where they can continue their research in fields relevant to NIA’s mission. This grant provides a three-year tenure including salary and research support for applicants close to achieving tenure-track faculty status, ensuring they have the necessary resources and protected time to focus on their work.
