Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-NR-10-005, that encourages applications under the Competitive Revision mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. A total of $1.25 M has been committed to this FOA for 2010. It is anticipated that 2-3 R01 awards will be funded.
