The National Institutes of Health has announced the NIH Director's Pioneer Award "to support individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering - and possibly transforming approaches - to major challenges in biomedical and behavioral research."  Biomedical and behavioral research is defined broadly in this announcement as encompassing scientific investigations in the biological, behavioral, clinical, social, physical, chemical, computational, engineering, and mathematical sciences.

Award: Up to $2.5 million: up to $500,000 in direct costs each year for five years, plus F&A.  Awardees must commit the major portion (at least 51%) of their research efforts to the Pioneer Award project.
