NIAID Research Opportunities for New and "At-Risk" Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The NIAID is offering Research Opportunities funding for New and "At-Risk" Investigators to Promote Workforce Diversity (R01 Clinical Trial Optional). This is a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) that is calling for R01 grant applications focused on independent research projects. These projects should align with the scientific mission areas of the participating NIH Institutes or Centers. This program specifically aims to support 'New Investigators' and 'At-Risk Investigators', especially those from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups that are underrepresented in health-related sciences. Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those who are underrepresented (for details, please reference NOT-OD-20-031, Notice of NIHs Interest in Diversity), can work with their institutions to apply for support in this program In particular, Investigators from categories A and B are strongly urged to apply along with their institutions.
