NIH Transformative Research Awards
Optional Letter of Intent Deadline: September 10, 2014
Deadline: October 10, 2014
Award Amount: Application budgets are not limited but must reflect the actual needs of the proposed research.

The NIH Transformative Research Awards complement NIH’s traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists or groups of scientists proposing groundbreaking, exceptionally innovative, original and/or unconventional research with the potential to create new scientific paradigms, establish entirely new and improved clinical approaches, or develop transformative technologies. Little or no preliminary data are expected. Projects must clearly demonstrate the potential to produce a major impact in a broad area of biomedical or behavioral research.
