NIH: NIH Director’s Early Independence Awards (DP5 Clinical Trial Optional)RFA-RM-20-014

This program seeks applications... that support exceptional junior investigators who wish to pursue independent research soon after completion of their terminal doctoral degree or post-graduate clinical training, thereby forgoing the traditional post-doctoral training period and accelerating their entry into an independent research career.

USC may submit only two applications in response to this solicitation.

Your application submission MUST be coordinated with the Office of the Vice President for Research. Please send a standard NIH formatted biosketch and a two page abstract via email to Richard White (whitejrw@mailbox.sc.edu) by July 10, 2020.

NIH indicates that a letter of intent IS NOT REQUIRED and a full application is due by September 4, 2020. For more information: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-20-014.html#_3._Additional_Information
