Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (K25) is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Aims to attract investigators with quantitative science and engineering backgrounds to NIH-relevant research.

Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) | Grants & Funding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) To engender and foster such activities by supporting the career development of investigators with quantitative scientific and engineering backgrounds outside of biology or medicine who have made a commitment to focus their research endeavors on behavioral and biomedical research (basic or clinical).

This mechanism is aimed at research-oriented scientists with experience at the level of junior faculty (e.g., early to mid-levels of assistant professor or research assistant professor ranks). This award provides support for a period of mentored study and research for professionals with such backgrounds who have the potential to integrate their expertise with biomedicine and develop into productive investigators.

Examples of quantitative scientific and technical backgrounds outside of biology or medicine considered appropriate for this award include, but are not limited to: mathematics, statistics, computer science, informatics, physics, chemistry, and engineering.
