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. The research proposed for a New Innovator Award may be in any scientific area relevant to the mission of NIH (biological, behavioral, clinical, social, physical, chemical, computational, engineering, and mathematical sciences) but need not be in a conventional biomedical or behavioral discipline. The focus is on innovation and potential impact. Investigators (PD/PIs) must hold an independent research position at a domestic (U.S.) institution as of September 19, 2009 and must have received their most recent doctoral degree (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., PharmD, or equivalent) or completed their medical internship and residency no earlier than 1999 and no later than the due date for pre-applications. PDs/PIs must meet the definition of "new investigator."
