2013 NIH DIRECTOR'S EARLY INDEPENDENCE AWARDS

The NIH Director’s Early Independence Awards (EIA) initiative allows exceptional junior scientists to accelerate their transition to an independent research career by “skipping” the traditional postdoctoral training. To be eligible, candidates must be within one year (before or after) of completion of their terminal degree or clinical residency at the time of application.
