The NIAID New Innovators Awards is a grant program designed to support postdoctoral candidates and other non-independent researchers, as well as newly independent Early Stage Investigators. The grant particularly emphasizes supporting individuals who display exceptional creativity, proposing innovative and insightful research concepts. The research should have the potential to make a significant impact, challenge existing scientific paradigms, or move forward key ideas about important issues in biomedical research that are of priority to NIAID.

Candidates who propose an unexpected intermingling of disciplines, new scientific directions or the use of unique methodologies are especially encouraged to apply. The grant is open to individuals from diverse backgrounds and it invites applications on any topic that aligns with the mission of NIAID.
