The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is pleased to announce an open call for the Technology Development Research for Establishing Feasibility and Proof of Concept to support exploratory research leading to the development of innovative technologies for biomedical research.
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.
Funding Information
- Award Budget: 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.
- Award Project Period: The maximum project period is 2 years.
