The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a Collaborative Program Grant (RM1) to support multidisciplinary research teams focused on addressing complex biomedical questions aligned with the mission of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). Each team, consisting of three to six Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs), must demonstrate a cohesive approach to achieve significant scientific advancements that cannot be accomplished through individual efforts. This funding opportunity emphasizes the importance of diversity in research, requiring applicants to submit a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) to ensure inclusivity in team composition and project goals. Funding is available for up to five years, with requests of up to $1.5 million in direct costs per year, and the NIH anticipates awarding 4 to 6 grants per fiscal year based on application quality and available funding. Interested applicants can find more information and application guidelines at the NIH website and should direct inquiries to grantsinfo@nih.gov. The application deadline is January 27, 2026.
