Grant Description

Purpose. The NIDA Avant-Garde Award Program for HIV/AIDS Research is meant to complement NIDAs traditional investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose high-impact research that will open new avenues for prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS among drug abusers. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for the Avant-Garde Award. The X02 application will be reviewed by external reviewers to identify the most outstanding applications (applications from individuals of exceptional creativity who propose highly significant and innovative projects that are not appropriate for traditional grant mechanisms). Those investigators whose submissions are judged to be the most outstanding will be notified of the opportunity to submit full applications under RFA-DA-09-011. All awards will be made under RFA-DA-09-011. No awards will be made under this announcement. For additional information, consult the FAQs at http://nida.nih.gov/avgp2009/FAQ.pdf
