Lasker Clinical Research Scholar's Program (Si2/R00 Clinical Trial Optional)

The Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program, administered by the National Institutes of Health under solicitation PAR-27-076, provides critical support for clinical researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. The program is designed to bridge the gap between NIH intramural and extramural research communities through a two-phase structure. In the first phase, scholars are appointed as tenure-track investigators within the NIH Intramural Research Program for five to seven years, receiving independent research budgets to advance human health. Following the initial phase, successful scholars enter a second phase where they can either remain within the intramural program or transition to an extramural research institute with up to three years of NIH support. This federal solicitation is open for applications with a response deadline of July 7, 2028. Interested parties can contact the National Institutes of Health for further details regarding this opportunity.
