Should I continue the research I've been doing in my postdoctoral years?

Your K01 project should be a well-designed research project appropriate to launching your research career, showing innovation and likely to set the stage for new research directions. The project should be relevant to the mission and/or research objectives of NLM. You should contact the NLM Program Officer listed on our NLM K01 Web page as appropriate to your informatics research area to address any questions on the relevance of your project.
