The purpose of the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) program is to support a cohort of new and talented independent investigators conducting Pain and/or SUD research, in order to increase the independent investigator workforce in research areas supported by the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM. This program is designed to facilitate a timely transition of eligible outstanding postdoctoral researchers from their mentored, postdoctoral research positions to independent, tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions. The program will provide independent NIH research support during this transition to help awardees establish independent research programs in areas supported by the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM.

NIH HEAL InitiativeSM will provide up to $75,000 per year for salary support, plus fringe, and up to $20,000 for research support costs. For candidates with medical degrees who are licensed to practice, NIH HEAL Initiative® will provide up to $125,000 per year for salary support. Applicants must commit a minimum of 9 person months effort to the K99/R00 research during both phases of the award. Further guidance on budgeting for career development salaries is provided in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide.
