The National Institutes of Health is accepting applications for its Technology Development Research for Establishing Feasibility and Proof of Concept to support exploratory research leading to the development of innovative technologies for biomedical research.
Donor Name: National Institutes of Health
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 05/16/2022
Grants Size: $200,000
Grant Duration: 2 years
Details:
The program will recognize and reward high risk approaches with potential for significant impact. Projects should entail a high degree of risk or novelty, which will be offset by a correspondingly high potential impact. However, the possible impact is likely to be far off. Application of the proposed technology to specific biomedical questions is considered beyond the scope of the program, should not be included, and would not be funded. The goal of this FOA is to support proof of concept studies for feasibility and exploratory technology development. Feasibility must not have already been established in the literature or with preliminary data. Published data can be used to establish the current state of the art but cannot forecast or predict project outcomes. Preliminary data for any purpose might appear to forecast the likelihood of success. Therefore, no unpublished data is allowed. While unpublished data are not permitted, references and data from widely available preprints that have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) are acceptable.
Funding Information
- Application budgets are limited to a total of $275,000 Direct Costs over the two-year project period. No more than $200,000 Direct Costs may be requested in any single year. (Direct cost limits exclude consortium F&A costs.) The budget must be well justified and reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
- The maximum project period is 2 years.
