NIH Director’s Pioneer Awards
NIH Deadline: October 18, 2013 by 5:00PM
Award Amount: $500,000 per year for 5 years, plus applicable F&A
Target Disciplines: Biomedical and behavioral research, defined broadly as encompassing scientific investigations in the biological, behavioral, clinical, social, physical, chemical, computational, engineering, and mathematical sciences.

Pioneer Awards are designed to support individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering – and possibly transforming approaches – to major challenges in biomedical and behavioral research. The proposed project must reflect a fundamental new insight into the potential solution of a problem, which may derive from the development of exceptionally innovative approaches and/or from the posing of radically unconventional hypotheses. While the research direction may have as its foundation the applicant’s prior work and expertise, the proposed research must reflect ideas substantially different from those already being pursued in the investigator’s laboratory or elsewhere.
