Institutional K vs. Independent K vs. R01

Independent K• Higher probability of

funding (vs. R01)• Your previous track

record can be slim• Limited research funding• Can get an R01 later• Requires NCR yearly

R01• More difficult to get

funding• Rating depends in part

on PI experience• No limit on research

funding• Cannot get a K later• Requires NCR yearly

Institutional K• Highest probability of

funding• Your previous track

record can be slim• Limited research

funding• Can get an independent

K or R01 later• Requires annual update

of information & competitive renewal after 2nd year
