National Cancer Institute (NCI) Early Career Cancer Clinical Investigator Award (ECIA)
The primary purpose of the NCI Early Career Cancer Clinical Investigator Award (ECIA) is to incentivize clinical investigators who are interested in pursuing a career in academia and in supporting and growing participation in NCI-sponsored trials with an NCI-Designated Cancer Center. This program is a continuation of the Cancer Clinical Investigator Team Leadership Award and provides support and “protected time” to pursue activities such as enhancing and diversifying accrual to clinical trials, participating in Cancer Center committees, participating in NCI clinical trial networks, and working with mentors for their career development and training.

NCI Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award
The purpose of the NCI Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00) is to encourage and retain outstanding graduate students recognized by their institutions for their high potential and strong interest in pursuing careers as independent cancer researchers. The award will facilitate the transition of talented graduate students into successful cancer research postdoctoral appointments and provide opportunities for career development activities relevant to their long-term career goals of becoming independent cancer researchers. The F99/K00 award is intended for individuals who require 1-2 years to complete their Ph.D. dissertation research training (F99 phase) before transitioning to mentored postdoctoral research training (K00 phase). Consequently, applicants are expected to propose an individualized research training plan for the next 1-2 years of dissertation research training and a plan for 3-4 years of mentored postdoctoral research and career development activities that will prepare them for independent cancer-focused research careers.
