Funding Opportunity: NIGMS Technology Research and Development

We’ve just re-issued two funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) for technology research and development grants that support biomedical research areas within the NIGMS mission. They are: Exploratory Research for Technology Development (R21) PAR-19-254 Two-year grants that support innovative, high-risk concepts for developing a new technology or radically improving an existing one. The R21 supports only novel concepts that haven’t yet been tested for feasibility. Thus, unpublished data are not allowed. Because proof of concept must not already be developed, NIGMS expects the projects to be high risk. Next application receipt date: June 16, 2019 Focused Technology Research and Development (R01) PAR-19-253 Four-year grants that support development projects to validate and optimize a new technology. The R01 is for technologies that already have been shown to be feasible but need further technical work to produce a useful prototype. Projects with partial demonstration of feasibility but with substantial risk remaining could be submitted as a 3-year R01 with a reduced budget under this FOA. Next application receipt date: June 5, 2019 For both the R21 and R01 programs, we’re seeking inventive technology that significantly advances the state of the art. Examples would include instruments, devices, processes, algorithms, software, chemicals, biomolecules, or cells that have potential value for enabling new basic biomedical research. Applicants s...
