Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 NIH Director's New Innovator Award Program (DP2), funding opportunity number RFA-RM-12-016, is a discretionary NIH grant competition designed to identify and support a small group of early stage investigators who show unusual creativity and who are willing to pursue bold, highly innovative research directions. The program focuses on proposals that break from conventional approaches and have a realistic chance of producing major, field-shifting advances on broad and important challenges in biomedical and behavioral research. It was launched in 2007 and is positioned as a complement to NIH's traditional support for early stage investigators through R01 grants, which remain the main pathway for investigator-initiated NIH funding. The DP2 sits within the NIH Common Fund's High Risk-High Reward Research Program, signaling that novelty, originality, and potential impact are central priorities.
For the 2013 cycle, NIH anticipated making about 33 awards with an estimated total program funding level of roughly $80,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $300,000 (as provided in the source data). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing is 93.310 (Trans-NIH Research Support), reflecting that the program is managed across NIH rather than being tied to a single institute or center.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a range of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly includes several categories often highlighted in federal eligibility language, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), eligible federal agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are allowed, which typically means limited international elements may be included when well-justified and consistent with NIH policy.
Timing details in the posting show the announcement was posted and created on August 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 17, 2012, and an archive date of November 17, 2012. The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health. For applicants or interested parties needing the full text and detailed application requirements, NIH provided an official link to the complete announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-12-016.html, along with contact instructions for the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster for technical access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
