The purpose of the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00, Learn More) is to encourage and retain outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated potential and interest in pursuing careers as independent researchers. The award will facilitate the transition of talented graduate students into successful research postdoctoral appointments.

The NIH F99/K00 award is a chance for third and fourth year graduate students to get up to six years of funding for their graduate training and future postdoctoral position. This seminar and panel discussion will clarify what the F99/K00 is, who is eligible, and how to apply. Current F99/K00 awardees will be available to share their tips and strategies.
