Thanks to everyone who responded to my NIH inquiry about "R08", a mentoring
program.

In fact, I learned the mechanism is called "K08",not "R08" and is primarily for
people holding professional degrees in clinical settings (i.e. M.D., D.V.M,
etc.).  The Web page is:

Your responses saved me a lot of time!
