Collaborative Awards in Epilepsy Research for Junior Investigators (R21): The goal of this program announcement is to stimulate basic, translational and clinical research in the field of epilepsy by promoting collaborations among junior investigators. -This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) exploratory/developmental (R21) award mechanism, but runs in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-05-095) that will utilize the traditional research project grant (R01) grant mechanism. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Eligible organizations include: For-profit organizations; Non-profit organizations; Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; Eligible agencies of the Federal government; Units of State government; Units of local government ; Foreign Institutions; Domestic Institutions; Faith-based or community-based organizations; and units of state or local tribal governments. -Eligible principal investigators include: Postdoctoral trained individuals with institutional appointments through Assistant Professor, or equivalent, position. Any individual with the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research, is invited to work with his/her institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -An R21 is not renewable.
