FACILITATING INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH VIA METHODOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN THE BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (R21)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-07-004.html
Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): January 23, 2007
Application Submission/Receipt Date(s): February 23, 2007
A new NIH Roadmap Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) has been released entitled, Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research via Methodological and Technological Innovation in the Behavioral and Social Sciences. As an initiative that was developed to support interdisciplinary Research Teams of the Future, this Request for Applications (RFA) reflects the goals the NIH Roadmap, and is sponsored by multiple NIH Institutes.

Application Receipt Date: January 16, 2007
The NIH Director's Pioneer Award is designed to support individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering and possibly transformative - approaches to major challenges in biomedical and behavioral research. Approximately five to ten awards of $500,000 in direct costs are anticipated for a total of up to $5 million per year for five years.
INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CONSORTIUM (U54)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-06-008.html
Application Receipt Dates(s): December 19, 2006
The purpose of this program is to support interdisciplinary approaches to solving significant and complex biomedical problems, particularly those that have been resistant to traditional approaches. The NIH Roadmap expects to award $40 million to Consortia in the first year of this program to fund eight consortia. Each Consortium application can request direct costs of up to $2.8M in the first year and up to $3.0M in years 2-5. Depending on the availability of funds and the priorities of the NIH Roadmap funds may be available to extend the program in FY2012.
