NIAMS Building Interdisciplinary Research Team (BIRT) Revision Awards (R01): Purpose. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) solicits applications that promote building new interdisciplinary teams among independent investigators for basic or translational research. These teams should pursue a clear and significant scientific opportunity in an area of shared interest of relevance to NIAMS, and can undertake conceptually and technically novel approaches that would be less likely to succeed if undertaken by a more narrowly focused group of investigators. The NIAMS plans to provide up to 1 year of Revision support (formerly referred to as a competing supplement) to active NIAMS R01s to establish such collaborations for high innovation and potentially high impact research. It is understood that such an application may entail high risk. Teams developed under this award are expected to make significant advances beyond the progress expected from the individual researchers alone. To ensure sufficient time for full development of collaboration, the NIAMS R01 (parent grant) should not end earlier than January 31, 2012. Revision applications that are the same as or similar to previous BIRT awards are not allowed. A BIRT application may not be requested to support collaborations among investigators who already have on-going, formal collaborations in the parent grant or other funded projects. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH revision to R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIAMS plans to commit $2 million in total cost in FY 2010 to fund approximately 15 BIRT awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of meritorious applications.
