The T16A panel is a recurring Special Emphasis Panel that reviews Career Development Award (K Mechanism) applications. These career development award applications focus on the treatment and management of acute and chronic diseases or conditions using behavioral, psychological, pharmacological, and clinical approaches and interventions. Research involves a wide spectrum of disease conditions and emphasizes a wide range of biological, psychological, cultural, and social conditions and traits that affect treatment and clinical management of physical and cognitive health disorders. Approaches include those designed to improve clinical management or specialized/complex care provided to patients in varied clinical, community, and institutional settings.
