Support of NIGMS Program Project Grants (P01)

archived

Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences encourages innovative, interactive program project grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct research which aims to solve a significant biological problem, important for the mission of NIGMS, through a collaborative approach involving outstanding scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant mechanism is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual regular research grants. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the P01 research grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount to be awarded depends on the scientific merit of applications and the funds available in NIGMSs general funding pool. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications.
