NIH Common Fund intends to commit approximately $8 million dollars in FY 2017 and make approximately seven awards depending on the size and scope of the most meritorious award. The NIH Director's Transformative Research Awards complement NIH’s traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists or groups of scientists proposing groundbreaking, exceptionally innovative, original and/or unconventional research with the potential to create new scientific paradigms, establish entirely new and improved clinical approaches, or develop transformative technologies. Little or no preliminary data are expected. Projects must clearly demonstrate the potential to produce a major impact in a broad area of biomedical or behavioral research.
