Funding Opportunities

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage New and ‘At-risk’ Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to individuals from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences, to work with their institutions to submit applications for research projects within the mission of NIAID, NIDDK, NIDA, or NIAAA. This NOFO seeks to support either (a) a New Investigator (NI), who has not previously competed successfully for substantial, independent funding from NIH, or (b) an 'At-Risk' investigator, who had prior support as a PD/PI on a substantial independent research award and unless successful in securing a substantial research grant award in the current fiscal year, will have no substantial research grant funding in the following fiscal year.
