Pre-Application for the 2009 NIH Director's Pioneer Award Program (X02): -Purpose. The NIH Director's Pioneer Award Program complements NIH's traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering and possibly transformative approaches to addressing major biomedical or behavioral challenges. To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect ideas substantially different from those already being pursued in the investigator's laboratory or elsewhere. The NIH Director's Pioneer Award Program is a High-Risk Research initiative of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. -The purpose of this FOA is to solicit pre-applications for the NIH Director's Pioneer Award. X02 pre-applications will be evaluated by a group of external reviewers. Those investigators whose projects are judged to be the most outstanding will be notified of the opportunity to submit full (DP1) applications under RFA-RM-09-001. All awards will be made under RFA-RM-009-001. No awards will be made under this announcement. For additional information, consult the FAQs at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/pioneer/faq.aspx. -Mechanism of Support. This announcement utilizes the X02 mechanism for submission of pre-applications.
