The NIH Director's Pioneer Award initiative complements NIH's traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering and possibly transforming approaches to addressing major biomedical or behavioral challenges that have the potential to produce an unusually high impact on a broad area of biomedical or behavioral research. To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect substantially different scientific directions from those already being pursued in the investigator’s research program or elsewhere.Awards will be for $500,000 direct costs each year for five years, plus applicable Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs to be determined at the time of award.
Deadline: October 9, 2012, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
Number of Applications
Applicant organizations may submit more than one application, provided that each application is scientifically distinct. PD(s)/PI(s) may submit only one application in response to this FOA.
NIH will not accept any application in response to this FOA that is essentially the same as one currently pending initial peer review unless the applicant withdraws the pending application.
