Funding & Grant Opportunities

UC San Diego ACTRI Invites Applications for KL2 Training Support for Early Career Faculty
The UC San Diego Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (ACTRI) is pleased to announce the 2022 call for applications for the KL2 Mentored Career Development Award!

The KL2 grant mechanism is an institutional equivalent of a K23, K01 or K08 award for early-career faculty. The KL2 also provides didactic opportunities through ACTRI's Clinical Research Enhancement through Supplemental Training (CREST) program, career and grant writing training, and mentored research experience. Alumni from the KL2 program have been highly successful in obtaining independent funding (e.g. R01 awards) and/or transitioning to other K awards.

Applicants from underrepresented groups in health sciences are especially encouraged to apply.
