If an applicant receives a National Institutes of Health (NIH) K Award, is he or she still qualified to receive PCORI funding?

Yes. The level of effort stated in the K Award must remain consistent, but awardees are not restricted in the remaining effort or salary level. Also, PCORI is not a federal funding agency, and K awardees may supplement the NIH contribution to their salary based on the NIH salary scale (as long as the funds are not federal).
