Grant Description

The NFRP New Investigator Award mechanism was first offered in FY99. Since then, 196 New Investigator Award applications have been received, and 43 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the NFRP New Investigator Award is to support the continued development of promising independent investigators and/or the transition of established investigators into a career in the field of NF research. Experience in NF research is allowed, but not required. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) with a limited background in NF research are strongly encouraged to have a collaborator who is experienced in the NF field. New Investigator Award applications must include preliminary data that is relevant to NF and/or Schwannomatosis and the proposed project.
