FOA Purpose |
The NIH Director’s Pioneer Award program 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 laboratory
or elsewhere. Awardees must commit the major portion (at least 51%) of their
research efforts to the Pioneer Award project. |
