Did you know that NIH actively seeks grants with big ideas that can substantively change how research is done, mechanisms are understood or diseases are treated?
Through a Common Fund from all NIH institutes, these High-risk, high-reward grants require a very different application (often fewer pages, no specific aims, no prelim data needed) and provide funds from $250 to 700K per year for five years without any specific budget information required. There are several award programs and investigators at any career stage can apply (see below).
On Tuesday, July 16, we will have a midday session with three Hopkins faculty that are current recipients of these high risk high reward grants. They will share their story about developing their big idea, preparing the application and lessons learned. If you are interested in learning more or considering one of these applications, please attend!
High Risk but High Reward!
