Career Transition New Investigator: An NIH research grant Program Director/ Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has not yet competed successfully for a substantial, competing NIH research grant is considered a New Investigator. However, a PD/PI who has received a Small Grant (R 03) or an Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R 21) retains his or her status as a New Investigator. Early Stage Investigator (ESI): An individual who is classified as a New or First-Time Investigator and is within 10 years of completing his/her terminal research degree or is within 10 years of completing medical residency (or the equivalent) is considered an Early Stage Investigator (ESI).

Two Examples Pathway to Independence Award (K 99 -R 00) The PI award program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support. NIH Director’s New Innovator Award This award addresses two important goals: stimulating highly innovative research and supporting promising early stage investigators. Many new investigators have exceptionally innovative research ideas, but not the preliminary data required to fare well in the traditional NIH peer review system.

Loss of a New Investigator Status Research grants that combine a smaller initial award that transitions without further competition to a second phase supported by a substantial, independent research grant will discontinue the New Investigator status for the PD/PI(s) at the point of transition to the larger award. This includes combined, transitional awards like the R 21/R 33, SBIR/STTR Fast-Track (R 42, UT 2, R 44, U 44), UH 2/UH 3.
