This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Applications of identical scientific scope are solicited also under the NIH Small Research Grant (R03), the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21), and the NIMH Clinical Exploratory Research Grant (R34) award mechanisms, responding to FOAs PA-06-180, PA-06-181, and PA-06-248, respectively. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
