  **Harvard Pre-Proposal Deadline: October 21, 2013 by 5PM**  
  **Award Amount: $250,000 per year for five years plus applicable indirect costs**  
   
 The NIH Director’s Early Independence Award provides an opportunity for exceptional junior scientists to accelerate their entry into an independent research position at a host institution, essentially skipping the postdoctoral training period following completion of the graduate degree or clinical residency. Reducing the time to independence allows highly motivated and intellectually mature individuals to begin making contributions earlier in their research career, and invigorates research institutions by providing a means to recruit outstanding, early career scientists.
