The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the NIH Directors Early Independence Awards through a Grant opportunity. This funding is aimed at supporting junior investigators who want to pursue independent research immediately after completing their terminal doctoral degree or post-graduate clinical training.

The NIH is particularly interested in supporting researchers from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups, and from eligible institutions in all geographic locations.

The NIH Directors Early Independence Awards are part of the High-Risk, High-Reward Research program of the NIH Common Fund. The awards are open to applicants from various fields, including behavioral, social, biomedical, applied, and formal sciences, as well as basic, translational, or clinical research. The funding does not require cost sharing or matching requirements.

The maximum award ceiling for this grant is $250,000. The closing date for applications is September 6, 2024. For more information and to apply, interested parties can visit the following website: NIH Directors Early Independence Awards.
