Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 24 219
The NIH HEAL Initiative PainCare Clinician Training Program (PCTP) Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08 - Clinical Trials Not Allowed), Funding Opportunity Number PAR-24-219, is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity designed to build a pipeline of early-career clinician-scientists who can become independent investigators in pain management research. Its central aim is to support a cohort of new, well-trained researchers by providing protected, mentored career development time and independent NIH research support during the critical early-career stage. The program is positioned within the NIH HEAL Initiative, specifically aligned with the Clinical Research in Pain Management program area, and it is intended to help awardees launch and sustain independent research programs that address priority needs in pain care.
This opportunity uses the K08 mentored career development mechanism, which is typically geared toward clinicians pursuing research-intensive careers under the guidance of experienced mentors. A defining feature of this particular announcement is the restriction that clinical trials are not allowed under this FOA, meaning applicants must propose research and career development activities that do not meet NIH’s definition of a clinical trial. In practical terms, the supported work should focus on developing the candidate as an investigator and advancing a research program in pain management without conducting interventional studies that assign participants to interventions to evaluate health-related outcomes. The emphasis is on developing independent research capacity through mentored scientific training, research experience, and a structured plan that leads toward future independent funding.
Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based entities that commonly apply for NIH funding. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other organizations. The announcement also highlights additional eligible applicant categories that reflect NIH’s interest in inclusive participation across institution types, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (other than federally recognized), and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, the FOA clearly limits non-U.S. organizational applicants: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. However, foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed, which means a U.S. applicant organization may include certain international elements in the project when properly justified and structured under NIH policy, even though the applicant organization itself must be domestic.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is run by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is categorized under the grant funding instrument type. The posted CFDA (Assistance Listing) numbers associated with this opportunity are 93.121, 93.213, 93.273, 93.286, 93.398, 93.846, 93.853, 93.865, and 93.866, reflecting multiple NIH institutes or programs that may participate or provide support. The opportunity was created on 2024-06-28, and the original closing date listed is 2027-07-12. The publicly provided fields for award ceiling and expected awards are not specified in the source text provided, which typically means applicants should consult the full FOA and NIH budget and K-award policy guidance for allowable costs, budget structure, and institute-specific expectations.
Overall, this program is best understood as a mentored career development pathway for clinicians who are ready to commit to becoming independent pain management researchers within the NIH HEAL framework, with strong emphasis on structured mentorship, early independence, and research that fits pain management priorities while staying outside the clinical trial category.Apply for PAR 24 219
