This program is funded through NIH. common fund It is like an institution’s “venture capital” resource that invests in innovative research projects across different departments within the institution and can be overlooked in the traditional NIH peer review process due to its inherent risks. There is a possibility
In addition to the NIH Common Fund, the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National Cancer Institute also supported the grant.
“The science advanced by these researchers is poised to open up new avenues of discovery in human health,” said Lawrence A. Tabak, DDS, Ph.D., acting director of the NIH. . “This unique group of scientists will change what we know in the world of biology and behavior. We are honored to support this groundbreaking science.”
