Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 NIH Director's New Innovator Award Program (DP2) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to back a small, highly selective group of early stage investigators who show exceptional creativity and who want to pursue bold, unconventional, and highly innovative research ideas. The central aim is to give talented new investigators the kind of support that makes it realistic to take big scientific risks early in their careers, especially when the proposed approach could reshape thinking or produce a major impact on important problems in biomedical and behavioral research. In practical terms, the program is meant to help launch ambitious research directions that might not fit neatly into more traditional grant pathways at the outset.
This program is positioned as a complement to NIH's standard support for early stage investigators through R01 grants, which remain the primary and most common mechanism NIH uses to fund investigator-initiated research. The New Innovator Awards are not intended to replace R01 support, but rather to fill a specific gap by investing in high-risk, high-reward ideas that could be transformative if they succeed. The announcement also places the DP2 within NIH's broader high-risk research efforts, described here as part of the "Research Teams of the Future" initiative, signaling that the program is oriented toward forward-looking science and novel research strategies.
The funding mechanism used is the DP2 grant mechanism. For fiscal year 2010, NIH indicated it intended to commit at least $80 million to this program, assuming enough applications are submitted that meet NIH's scientific merit standards. The agency anticipated making at least 33 awards during fiscal year 2010. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide institutional or third-party matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health funding activity category. The Funding Opportunity Number is RFA-RM-09-011, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.310 (Trans-NIH Research Support). The opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 27, 2009. The archive date is November 27, 2009, which indicates when the announcement was slated to be archived in the federal listings after the submission window closed.
Eligibility is broad and spans many organizational types that can apply for NIH grants. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category wording); state governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; U.S. territories or possessions; regional organizations; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly notes additional categories such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, and faith-based or community-based organizations. In short, NIH structured eligibility to include a wide range of research-performing and community-connected entities, consistent with NIH's broad applicant base across the biomedical and behavioral research ecosystem.
