Using the U.S. citizen and permanent resident sample, we explored the impact of NIH pre - and postdoctoral fellowships (F), NIH pre - or postdoctoral traineeships (T), and NIH career development awards (K), which are largely awarded to early career investigators as grant funding for research.

At $ 250,000 a year, the new transition awards will be more than three times larger than a typical career development award, and they come with an equal amount of institutional overhead compared to the 8 % indirect cost rate allowed by the career awards. (sciencemag.org)
