NIH welcomes proposals for 2010 NIH Director's Pioneer Awards and New
Innovator Awards. Both programs are part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical
Research http://nihroadmap.nih.gov

2d and support exceptionally creative scientists who take highly
innovative, potentially high-impact approaches to major challenges in
biomedical or behavioral research.
Pioneer Awards provide up to $2.5 million in direct costs over 5 years
and are open to scientists at any career stage. New Innovator Awards
provide up to $1.5 million in direct costs over the same period and are
for early stage investigators (ESI) who have not received an NIH regular
research (R01) or similar NIH grant.
NIH expects to make at least 7 Pioneer Awards and at least 33 New
Innovator Awards in September 2010.
To continue its strong record of diversity in these programs, NIH
especially encourages women and members of groups that are
underrepresented in NIH research to apply.The deadline for submitting
Pioneer Award applications is October 20, 2009. See the instructions in
the RFA http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-09-010.html

Transformative R01 Program
The Transformative R01 (T-R01) supports exceptionally innovative, high
risk, original and/or unconventional research projects that have the
potential to create or overturn fundamental paradigms. Please check

The NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, launched in 2004, is a series of
initiatives designed to address fundamental knowledge gaps, develop
transformative tools and technologies, and/or foster innovative
approaches to complex problems. Funded through the NIH Common Fund,
these programs cut across the missions of individual NIH Institutes and
Centers (ICs) and are intended to accelerate the translation of research
to improvements in public health. Additional information about the NIH
Roadmap and Common Fund can be found at www.nihroadmap.nih.gov

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) ³The Nation's Medical Research
Agency² includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the
U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal
agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational
medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments and cures
for both common and rare diseases. For more information about NIH and
