It takes a LONG time to get NIH grants. Not only the application process for each submission, which easily takes a year from writing to decision. But also the educational processes and training. Getting the first R01 by 40 years of age is an achievement.
@rheumcat.bsky.socialI post a lot about NIH grants and the assorted alphabet soup of grant types.
I've been posting about the NIH grant that I currently have, a mentored career development award called a K, which is for early career researchers.
This does not mean I am new to research or to grants.
