Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HL 18 006
The NHLBI Research Career Development Program in HIV-Related Heart, Lung, Blood and Sleep Research (K12) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-18-006) is a discretionary NIH grant program run by the Department of Health and Human Services through the National Institutes of Health, aimed specifically at building institutional career development pipelines in HIV-related research that intersects with heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) science. The central purpose is not to fund a single research project in isolation, but to help institutions create and sustain structured, interdisciplinary programs that provide junior investigators with intensive, mentored research training and strong career development support. The target trainees are early-career PhD and MD researchers who are working in areas connected to HIV, with an emphasis on HIV-associated co-morbidities that affect HLBS systems, as well as advanced therapeutic approaches such as cell and gene therapies tied to HIV cure strategies and efforts to prevent HIV transmission through blood transfusion.
This opportunity supports the development of institutional programs that can recruit and train multiple scholars, typically through a formalized mentoring and professional development framework. In practice, a K12 program generally centers on protected time for research, a robust mentoring team (often spanning multiple disciplines), and a curriculum or structured set of activities that build the skills needed for long-term independence. For this particular K12, the program focus is squarely on HIV in relation to HLBS research priorities, which can include understanding and treating cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and sleep-related complications in people living with HIV, along with translational and clinical research directions that move new interventions toward real-world impact. The description also highlights cutting-edge domains like cell and gene therapies that may contribute to cure or durable remission approaches, alongside prevention strategies relevant to transfusion safety.
Eligible applicant organizations are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they meet the opportunitys eligibility rules). It also allows applications from Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), plus other entities as described in the additional eligibility language of the announcement. This structure reflects the NIH intent to seed strong institutional training environments across a range of research settings, provided they can deliver high-quality mentorship, interdisciplinary training, and a sustainable career development track for junior faculty-level scholars.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the program is categorized as a grant with a health-related funding activity classification and is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (93.233, 93.837, 93.838, 93.839, 93.840), reflecting the cross-cutting nature of NHLBI and related NIH program authorities. The opportunity was created on August 30, 2017, with an original application closing date of December 14, 2017. The listed award ceiling is $92,550, and the agency expected to make about 8 awards. Taken together, these details indicate a competitive, cohort-style institutional training investment intended to produce a cadre of well-mentored early-career scientists positioned to become independent investigators in HIV-related HLBS research, particularly in areas where HIV intersects with major organ-system co-morbidities and next-generation therapeutic and prevention technologies.Apply for RFA HL 18 006
