The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Catalytic Tool and Technology Development in Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)." This funding initiative aims to support the development of innovative tools and technologies that address significant challenges in the study of kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases, focusing on high-risk, high-reward research rather than traditional hypothesis-driven approaches. The NIH anticipates funding approximately 10 projects with a total budget of around $2 million annually, providing up to $275,000 over a two-year project period, with no cost-sharing requirement. Interested applicants can find more information and submit inquiries via email at grantsinfo@nih.gov, with applications due by January 7, 2025.
