BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH GUIDE TO NIH GRANTS
I would like to draw your attention to the opportunity to apply for the NIH Director's Pioneer Award and the NIH Director's New Innovator Award. Both programs support exceptionally creative scientists in a wide range of fields, including the behavioral and social sciences, who propose highly innovative approaches to major challenges in biomedical or behavioral research.

The programs are part of an NIH Roadmap for Medical Research initiative to nurture bold or even unconventional ideas that may have more than the usual degree of risk but that, if successful, will have unusually high scientific impact.
