U.S. NIH (National Institutes of Health) Planning $80M in 2010 for New Innovator Awards
Colleagues,
As reported in Genome Web News ... The NIH plans to commit at least $80 million in 2010 to fund researchers conducting "bold and highly innovative" biomedical science that could have important impacts on a wide range of issues.
Funded through the NIH Roadmap Initiative, the NIH Directors New Innovator Award program will grant around 33 awards in fiscal 2010, with each eligible for up to $300,000 per year for up to five years. THE RFA IS EXPECTED TO BE PUBLISHED IN AUGUST 2009 WITH AN ANTICIPATED APPLICATION RECEIPT DATE OF OCTOBER 27, 2009.
The aim of the program, which was created in 2007, is to support a small number of early-stage investigations "of exceptional creativity" that "have the potential to produce a major impact on broad, important problems in biomedical and behavioral research."
The NIH Director's New Innovator Award program is different from traditional NIH grants in several ways. It is designed specifically to support unusually creative new investigators with highly innovative research ideas at an early stage of their career when they may lack the preliminary data required for an R01 grant. The emphasis is on innovation and creativity; preliminary data are not required, but may be included. No detailed, annual budget is requested in the application. The procedure for evaluating applicants' qualifications is distinct from the traditional NIH peer review “study section” process and will emphasize the individual’s creativity, the innovativeness of the research approaches, and the potential of the project, if successful, to have a significant impact on an important biomedical or behavioral research problem.
