Applications of identical scientific scope and appropriateness for the grant mechanism are encouraged also under the NIH Small Research Grant (R03), the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21), the NIMH Clinical Exploratory Research Grant (R34), and the NIMH Collaborative Program (R01) award mechanisms, responding to FOAs PA-06-180, PA-06-181, PAR-06-248, and PA-07-092, respectively.
