UAB Synopsis Vol. 25, No. 5, February 27, 2006
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces its 2006 Director’s Pioneer Award program, a key component of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research. Unlike other NIH grants, which support research projects, the Pioneer Award supports individual scientists. The award gives recipients the intellectual freedom to pursue new research directions and highly innovative ideas that have the potential for unusually great impact.
